trinfield

well trinity softball has officially started. today we did a run through of our work out with our new trainer. this means lifting three times a week with captains practices in between. 5 months until the season. i think it's a bit much but at least i'll be staying in good shape. i really like all the freshman so it's a good time to do some extra bonding with them. all of this will ultimately help us in the end so i can't be too bitter about it. i'm definitely looking forward to the new season, i know that it can definitely be a lot better than last year. i'll keep you posted.

9/11

another september 11th has come and gone. it's been 7 years now. this is my second september 11th at college and it's very interesting that there's really nothing done about it. in high school we always had a moment of silence and most teachers would talk about it. i only had one professor talk about it but only because it related to our course material. my other professors didn't talk about it and i never talked about it with any of my peers or friends. it's interesting, that's all. i guess this is my time to reflect on that day and send my thoughts and wishes to all those who were directly affected by 9/11. 

the fam

i've had a rough couple of days here at college. but all is pretty well now. i definitely need to thank my family for that. i'm very hard on myself and i can get down on myself very easily and quickly. thankfully i have such a great support system around me helping out. my parents are the best that i could have ever asked for. my sisters, especially since they are older than me, are wise and have helped me out in some of my worst times. my extended family are all supporters and i love them all for that. family has always been such a big part of my life. i've always been the little faf running around and wanting nothing more than to play with my cousins or go upstate new york with everyone or arrive first on christmas eve or fly on a plane by myself to visit family members. even though i may not have talked to you directly in the past couple of days, i just want to say thank you. i love you all! 

namaste

today my roommate holly and i went to yoga. there are free classes twice a week. i've done some yoga in the past so i wanted to try it out here. it's only a 1 hour class but we both really liked it. it was so relaxing but definitely a work out. on wednesday we have a softball meeting and i want to bring up that there are free yoga classes and we should all go. hopefully it goes over well. i know that aunt joan would be proud of me for taking yoga classes as she is the only other person i've ever done yoga with. if anyone has old yoga mats (cough cough mom or aunt joan) and would like to lend some to myself and holly that would be great. i'm really excited to do it again! go out and join a class.

roomies

i had my first classes today. they went alright except i already have homework. boo. anyways i thought i would share a little bit about each of my roommates with all of you out there. (they have been asking to be blogged about!) My first rooomate is holly. she's the tall one. she has very curly blonde hair. holly is so cute, she's very outgoing and sweet and she's from maine. she's going to be a dance theatre major. she's really good at singing but wants to become a tv anchor some day. meghan is another roommate of mine. meghan and holly share a room. meghan is from albany. she's really into music, mostly rap. she's studying econ with a minor in german studies. she's a very real person and down to earth. she is also another blonde in the room. yumi is the roommate that i actually share a room with. she's from japan but is very americanized. she's totally sweet and you can talk to her about anything. she's very cute and gets along with everyone. the 4 of us make really good roommates. so far things have been really good. i'm looking forward to the rest of the year. i hope i did my roommates proud by blogging about them!

trincoll

i made it!!!! i'm here back at trinity. so far so good. all the construction that was going on around campus last year is all done and it looks soooo nice. grandpa savoy, the long walk is beautiful. i never saw it before the construction but it looks so nice. you'll have to come visit to see it! anywho... my fourth roommate comes today so after today it will really feel like home. the room is soooo nice and i just finally got everything packed away. now i have to decorate with the rest of the girls and the place will look fantastic. i have plenty of room for visitors so any of you out there that want to come and stay with me, feel free! classes start tuesday; i'm not as excited about that but that will really kick everything off. i'm glad to be back!

bon voyage

is it my last full day at home. i have a very nice day planned. going to new hope with the girls, then tanning by the pool, saying good bye to some other friends, and then going out to dinner with a group of people. that will all be topped off with a LOT of packing tonight. it should be a good day, a sad day though. goodbyes are hard but hopefully since i've been through it once it won't be as bad. i have been getting more excited to go back to school since talking to a bunch of my friends who are already at school. well i best be off to start my last day at home. goodbye to all my family and friends and PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH! i'll see you all soon!
