hey i just sent this to a bunch of people--if it didn't get to you, either your e-mail address didn't work, or i don't have it, so give it to me and i'll send you one next time
Hey all!
Well, here I am in South Carolina, procrastinating on studying for my Sport Management midterm tomorrow at eight. Its only 9:15, so I still have time. It’s been kind of a blah day here-most people are studying and such. It’s cloudy out, and people are just ready for fall break, which is in one week!
So school has definitely settled in-its hard to believe I’ve been here for almost two months. I can’t wait until thanksgiving when I get to see everyone again. I miss you all so much.
But I am having so much fun here. Cross country is going pretty good. We definitely have run every single day since I’ve been here. It’s quite a record for me-two months straight with no days off. My times have been decent (with the exception of last Saturday). I pr’ed in my first 6k-and my 5k time in the 6k was five seconds off my pr. This was in Pennsylvania, which was amazing. An extremely long bus ride, but worth it; I got to see Leela Hadsock, whom I haven’t seen in quite some time and really missed running against. We also stopped at an Amish farm and were fed the most amazing food of my life-all of it homemade and homegrown, the bread, the peanut butter, the meat, the dessert. I don’t think I’ve ever eaten so much in my life, not even at thanksgiving. The girls on the team are extremely nice-and I even have a twin up here…or so everyone says, we however don’t think we look that much alike. The guys on the team are cool-they eat soooo much, I have no idea where they put it. Seriously, they eat at LEAST one plate from each of our food stations (numbering five).
The girls on my floor are absolutely amazing. My RA is so sweet and up for a talk at any time-even at 2 am in the morning. My Swedish roommate is so incredibly nice and puts up with all my early morning habits quite nicely-which is saying something cause if my roommate woke up two hours earlier than me every day with an alarm and all I might have to hurt somebody. I’ve learned that Florida is not in the South, not even close-its somewhere in the north, despite all the maps. The girls from South Carolina definitely point it out every opportunity. Us out-of-staters (Florida, Missouri, Maryland, Georgia, and others) hang out on the weekends when everybody goes home. We make sure we avoid Thompson Cafeteria as much as possible, we try to have something to do besides homework on Saturday nights, and we try not to miss everyone too much.
Classes are quite interesting-when I manage to stay awake. My favorite would have to be Economics, surprisingly; although that is probably due to the fact that I a) hardly fall asleep in that class and b) the teacher is extremely amusing (who’d of thought that economics could be fun?). A close second would be my Intro to Sport Management, only second cause it is an 8 o clock in the morning class.
The school here is beautiful. Right now the temperature is just perfect, our window is open all the time to soak up the wonderful weather while we can. And despite the fact that it has rained a total of five times since I’ve been here, everything still looks like fall-the leaves are starting to turn colors! The people on campus are so friendly, and if I want to hang out with someone I can usually find someone to do something with.
Anyways, I just wanted to give everyone an update, and let you guys know how much I miss you! Keep in touch!
Love,
Amy
