It's been a while...

Hi All!


--Me, Rach (my roomie this year and next), and Corrine (my roomie next year) at a Olivet production.--

It has been quite the semester. Time has definitely sped by. I have two more weeks left for this semester and then I am off to Colorado once again. Two weeks of classes. That's it. It is very strange! This summer I will be working at Golden Bell Camp in Divide, Colorado. I am looking forward to all the new experiences and meeting new friends, but I am dreading leaving Olivet. Over the summer, I will be missing quite a few people here. No school work will be wonderful though! I can't wait to be surrounded by the majestic nature around the camp! Speaking of nature: HAPPY EARTH DAY! I love the mountains and can't wait to see them again. I will also be happy to see my parents; the last trip to Loveland seemed very short.

This semester has been difficult with time management, but I have had a lot of fun and stressful moments. I went snowboarding in Galena, Illinois, which is where a couple of my friends live. We went with a big group. It was great getting off of campus for a little while...I am here waayyyyy too much!

This semester I have also been more involved in intramurals. It has been a lot of fun! I have played soccer, volleyball, and ultimate frisbee. I am not very good, but it is just fun to get out there and try. I play a lot of ultimate at other times as well, including 6:30 am on Friday mornings. It is crazy; I know. However, I like having that start to my day and it is fun to go to breakfast with everyone afterward.

This was taken after a muddy ultimate frisbee game on a wonderfully, warm Saturday afternoon. The weather this semester has been crazy, but that day was definitely welcomed!

For the breaks that I didn't go to Colorado, I went to my roommate, Quel's, house, otherwise known as Rachel. :) I like going to her house, because we just relax and get away from campus for a little while. These pictures are from one of those trips:

We also went to the Museum of Science and Industry one weekend, where we dissected a cow eye. This is my roommate Quelly and I there...

Well, like I said, it has been busy and that is about all the time I have right now. I still have homework to do and a volleyball game to play at this evening. Thanks for reading!
