So. . .it's been a long time and a lot of shit has happened. I have less than a week left of my freshman year in college. It's been a trip but it's been pretty amazing over all. This has been the hardest semester of my life. Organic chemistry is basically the bane of my existence and now I have to friggen retake it this summer >=(

In the fall I joined the volleyball team. It was good times and I met great people, but I still suck and have therefor given up!

So. . .In December I joined the crew team. Amazing. It's been the only thing keeping me really sane this semester, even though it drives me crazy sometimes. The people. . .I don't even know, they leave me speechless. Before spring break none of us really knew each other well so I was apprehensive about the trip. I had never been on the water and I knew I had a lot to learn. I ended up rooming with 3 AMAZING people who basically made my trip. I spent 7 days doing nothing but rowing, running, lifting, and sleeping and it was one of the best weeks in my life. After spring break it was back to cold cold cold New England and on to the Charles. I'll never forget my first night. I learned to row in gorgeous 70 degree weather in bright, sunny, Florida. My first night on the Charles was SO cold and it was dark. I was lost, I had no idea where I was the whole time I was on the river, but I remember when we turned the boat around and there was the city, all lit up and gorgeous. It was amazing. I got used to the river and was much less discombobulated and I got used to the cold. Then came the morning practices. oye vey. I slept in class for about a week until I got used to it and once I did it was really nice. It was nice to be up before the city and it was amazing to see the sun rise over the city. God I love Boston. I've had an amazing semester with my teammates. I've met so many new incredible people. I can't imagine this semester without them. Hell, I can't even imagine this summer without them, I don't know what I'm going to do. I love crew, and for the first time in my life I'm good at a sport and I'm happy when I go to practice and I'm still happy when I come back, this is new for me. I can't wait for the fall to be on the water again with my fave people in the world.

As excited as I am about summer, I feel like I'll be ready to come back in like a month. I don't know what I'm going to do for 3 months with no boat, no class, no roommate, nothing. I don't know, I miss my friends from home SO much and when I'm here I want to be home and when I'm home I want to be here. It's a no win situation. Or maybe it's not, because that just means that I have 2 places that make me happy and I know I'm never going to have one place that I can be where I don't want to be somewhere else, just a little bit.

Anyway, I have to go to bed, I have lots o' studying to do tomorrow. Good night all!

P.S. Our boat won 2nd place in the New England Championships! ;)
