gleeked out for the wire!

last year my show was lost. some how i was able to get through all 6 seasons relatively quickly. this year i have two favorite shows: glee and the wire. in case you didn't know, i LOVE singing and dancing and musicals and such. so my friend was like omg why have you never seen glee?!?!! so i watched the season 2 premiere and feel in love! then i was determined to watch the entire season 1 before the next ep. i would just like to say that i successfully watched 22, hour long eps of glee in one week. pretty cool. when do i do homework? i find ways! also, there's a class here called viewing the wire and it's all about this show called the wire and deals with the urban background of the show. i wasn't able to get into the class but my roommate is in and in the spirit of things she bought all 5 seasons on dvd. so i took a little hiatus when i was watching glee but now i'm back to watching the wire again. it's a very realistic cop show dealing with the narcotics unit. very cool. so if you've never watched either, i suggest it!

going for the bakers dozen

i know it only says 11 but i swear it's 12 i just couldn't find a picture!

fun little fact about trinity: our men's squash team has won the national (national!) championship 12 years in a row! not only that, but they haven't even lost a single match in 12 years! unbelievable!! and for those of you who know about sports being divided up into divisions, trinity is a d3 college, however since there are so few squash teams in the nation, they are all at a d1 level. overall, our men's squash team is the bomb. our women's squash team also usually falls within the top three teams in the nation every year. where am i going with this? well as a senior at trinity, i've never played squash, i don't know the rules, and when i watch the matches i usually have no idea what's going on. this semester i decided to change things up, so i joined a squash class at my school (and it's for credit, how cool!). it's AWESOME! i've had three days of it so far and i love being out there. it's so different from any other sport: it's totally contained, you stand directly next to your opponent, and really it's just awesome. even when the class is over i hope i play all the time. it's a great sport to get into and as long as there are facilities around you it's a sport that you can play for a LONG time after college. anyone game?

the beginning of the end

today is the last first day at trinity i'll ever have. kinda of sad and kinda of cool. i'm not really excited about starting school work but it's nice to be around campus and see people that i haven't seen in a while. i'm living in the same apartment as i did last semester with the same people so it's nice to be really settled in now to our apartment. i have an internship this fall working with high school kids through the college process, so that will keep me busy. and softball training will start most likely the beginning of next week. so i have a lot to look forward to and a lot of time to enjoy senior year!

love means nothing in tennis

fish serving

for the first time ever my mom and i went to the us open last week. we had a GREAT day. we started early and were able to get to the open before people were even allowed in. it was a nice sunny day and EXTREMELY hot. we were sweating all day. we got to walk around the grounds, see 5 americans (fish, oudin, dent, byron, blake) play, and we even got to see sharapova practicing and jimmy connors and martina nav-i don't know how to spell her last name- were hitting balls some balls. it was a great day and we had a lot of fun! we definitely can see another us open trip in our future.
