birthday lull and extracurriculars

i have been pretty absent lately on my blog but that's only because nothing too exciting has been going on. of course my birthday was excellent but since it's almost been a week since it's happened, most people have forgotten already! rude. since softball has started it's mostly all i do and think about. we've only had one day off since the start of the season so softball is basically the only thing on my plate right now. but it's going really well. the team looks good and is gelling together. we've had two scrimmages so far that have gone really well. we leave for florida in just a matter of weeks to start spring training. i can't wait to get out of our fieldhouse and into warm weather to play some good softball. i'll let you all know what next exciting thing is that happens in life.

today begins my last season of competitive softball...................

boob tube

last night i finally completed all five seasons of the show the wire. i was happy to get to the end but devastated now that it's over. any other good suggestions?? i need a show with lots of seasons that's easily accessible online. on tv i'm currently watching glee, gossip girl, grey's anatomy, and greek (lots of g's) while also trying to stay on top of modern family and svu. oh yes, college life presents it self with LOTS of down time, even when in season. speaking of the season.....february is filled with lots of "holidays": valentines day (which can be good or bad depending on your situation lol), my birthday (ok and my dad's birthday), and the start of softball (my last first day of softball). i'm looking forward to the rest of this month.....smooth sailing. and for the love of someone, please stop snowing!

bye bye gally!

DC for new years!
Before surgery

well now i've been home from school for a while. christmas was excellent, i went to dc for new years to spend it with friends, done a little babysitting, some softball stuff here and there, starting applications for jobs, and relaxing as much as i can. i have two weeks left of break but i'm sure i'll get in more relaxing and more fun times. yesterday i had my gallbladder taken out because of gallstones, everything went very well but now i am quite sore. so i expect to spend a lot of time on the couch the next few days. then on saturday my sister and niece are flying in new mexico to spend time here. this upcoming weekend we will have my mom, dad, both sisters, brother in law, and two nieces under one roof..... i can't wait!!!! the pictures will be epic!

twas the day after christmas....

Merry Christmas to all!! there is a blizzard outside now! i hope every one had a fabulous christmas and i look forward to seeing the family again throughout the month of january! drive carefully!

senior snowball

today was my last day of classes for my first semester of my senior year. it's officially half way over. i can't believe it. my last fall semester. my last pre season for softball. my last thesis i'll have to write. it's all quite overwhelming. however with this next week being finals, i'm overwhelmed by the amount of work i have, but once that's over i'll be able to reflect on the fact that one half of my senior year is really over. but not too long to reflect because over break i will be figuring out what to do with my life after may. but trinity college was very nice in that they threw a formal for us this past saturday called senior snowball. at the beginning of the night each frat house is designated a freshman dorm and serves predrinks to us before the dance starts. it was so cool being able to see who i've stayed friends with since freshman year and who i have barely talked to since. then all the seniors get together and have a dance the rest of the night. it was an absolute blast and exactly what everyone needed right before finals as one last hooray for the semester. one more semester to go, it's going to be awesome!

senior blues

man, senior year is hard! i've been totally busy all the time. i'm in the process of writing my mini thesis for this semester and it's really hard, my internship is so much fun but really time consuming, and my classes aren't as easy and i thought they might be. we only have two more weeks left in the semester! yikes! two more weeks and i'm half way done with my senior year, what the heck! it's gone by so fast i can't believe it. and i'm not quite sure what i want to do after school either....real life is hard. but it's been a great ride so far, and i'm definitely looking forward to next semester. it'll be a little lighter on course work and next semester means SOFTBALL SEASON!!! yayyyyy. but for now, i'm studying and doing work basically 24/7, except when i'm sleeping i guess. wish me luck!

and i'm anxious about a certain new baby being born......
