new semester...

Sorry I haven't written in a while, there hasn't been much to say. School started up again last week. I'm going to have an awesome semester, minus physiology! I am taking yoga and tennis which should be good for me to keep my weight down, and a backpacking class that I am so excited about. It will better prepare me for my epic journey coming up next summer :) I am also taking an intro to sports medicine and athletic training class taught by one of the trainers that I know so that will be a fun and interesting class.
Other than that, I'm trying to work as much as possible and save my money. My roommate and a bunch of friends from her work started a weight loss challenge which I decided to join. Everyone throws in $20 and has 6 weeks to do whatever they want to lose weight. After the 6 weeks, whoever has lost the biggest percentage of weight wins the pot. So I'm looking forward to that, it started yesterday. We will see what the next 6 weeks bring. My roomie bought a wii fit so we have been using that as well to get in shape. It's really fun and sometimes you forget you're even working out :) I am also going to be working out so I can get into shape for my class backpacking trip in April.
Gail came up last weekend to visit and we had a blast! I love hanging out with her and we always have a good time. We hung out at the house part of the time, and did some shopping (which was very successful :)). It was sad to see her go and the weekend come to a close because that menat it was back to the grindstone and back to school for another week :(
This coming weekend is our track alumni dinner which I am really looking forward to. We are celebrating the pioneering women of track and field and of the Chico State track program. We are going to have some wonderful guest speakers from what I hear. My coach is giving a little speech and he is mentioning my name and the record I broke last season, so I am excited to hear it! It will be a great night catching up with my old teammates and hearing stories from the past. I am excited to get to meet some of Chico's former athletes and hear what they have to say.
Well, that's about it for now. I'll keep you posted if anything else pops up in my life. ttfn :)
