You are Hobbes!
You’re a bit too mellow to be an incarnation of Calvin, but you’re still his best pal. You don’t mind having fun, though, and enjoy playing tricks on your friends when they least expect it.

I am soothing and I bring people together. What more could you ever wish for?

Well, here I am again. No more UAA competition for me.

At the risk of sounding braggish…

I now have three golds in my posession… one for the 100, one for the 200, and one for the 4×1 relay. We RULE! Lady Bears rock the planet! Or at least the UAAs. You could say I went out with a bang. Those and my fifth place finish in the hurdles. So overall (individually) I gave the team 10+10+4=24 points and the 10/4 points from the relay. Coach said the only reason I couldn’t get MOP of the meet 🙂 was that I had won it indoors. I really think I would have. No one else double golded except the girl who actually got the MOP award, in the steeple and 5K (she already won last year indoors, too, natch).

You know what? Prayer really works. I prayed before practically every race and look what happened 🙂

And one more thing… we qualified provisionally for nationals in the 4×1 🙂

Somebody up there really loves me.

Well, here it is. My last track conference. It’s 4:30 AM, for God’s sake, why can’t there be later flights? Sigh. Billy will be there. Let’s hope that the Atlanta heat is good for us and we win 🙂 I hope I beat Hallie (which sounds bad, but means I might go to Nationals) and I hope the 4×1 runs faster than we have for the last three weeks. Wish me much luck, and I hope I have fun. Dear Lord be with me and my teammates this weekend, make our feet fast and our jumps far or high and our throws long. And I’d really like to qualify for Nationals…. Much love to you. Ciao! Buenos suerte! Bon chance!

I thought of this when I was working on my design project. I’m in a group of three people, both of whom always seemed to be doing more or talking more than me. I thought I was sort of like Legolas… always there, not saying much, but when I did do something it was of rather large importance, like when Lego killed the cave troll… he didn’t say anything, but he got the ugly mug! (okay, so my major thing was that I did the website, but whatever.) Hah. Yeah, anything to compare myself to Legolas.

it’s done, it’s done!

the presentation is over and the report is writ and now we just have the poster presentation, thank the Lord!

okay, just thought I’d gush.

well, that was an interesting experience. Gotta love all nighters. Been up since 9 am yesterday with little catnaps. Spent a looooong time in the computer lab. And the report didn’t get finished until today at noonish. Aie.

Thank God that’s over, now if I could just figure out biomechanics….

We’ve been in here so long that the computers are going through their nightly automatic reboot. Sigh. That’s pretty terrible. There’s a certain sort of poetic justice that the only all-nighters that I’ve ever pulled in college are all for BME classes. Three for BME 301a labs last spring, and this one. Sigh. just keep reminding yourself how much you wanted to be an engineer and how happy you’ll be tomorrow at this time… course, you’ll be sleeping!

Washington University in St. Louis Commencement Look at this, we have one!
Alma Mater

Dear Alma Mater,

Thy name is sweet to me.

Our hearts are all for thee

Fair Washington.

Thy halls shall honored be

Throughout this great country

For all eternity, Our Washington.

Those days of youth which

All of us spent with thee

Form a dear history,

Fair Washington.

Could they renewed be,

We’d live our days with thee

For all eternity, Our Washington.

All right, major crunch time, folks. Last full day before both presentation and report are due… and soon it will be over! But let’s hear it for the healthy sum of shit and a side order of hell that’s being served up today as we slide ever so quickly to the day of reckoning… Good Lord look down upon me in kindness, make my fingers swift and my mind sharp so that I may actually finish on time. Same goes for my lovely design partners who I fear got the lions share of the work. At least I know how to make websites. Be with us!

faaack you, suzi!

errm. you realize it’s late saturday night and I am at the computer lab. Ugh. designproject you can suck it!

Why doesn’t Billy come here and give me a massage, huh?
