Alright so there are a few things worth noting tonight before I hit the sheets.
First of all I’m officially signed up for the Spring Break 2009 trip. It’s 1700, for airfare, accommodations for 10 days, a guide, all transportation, two meals a day, and three credits! Oh yea, and it’s to Paris, Rome, Milan, and Florence. Exciting!
Secondly I found an all-women sprint-length triathlon in Philly in July, I think I’ve talked AMD into doing it with me, which would be fun. That way we could keep each other in check and on schedule.
Thirdly the rifle team cuts were made tonight. It’s such a hard process, having to figure out who to cut (though it’s mostly done by score), but the head coach was nice and we actually didn’t cut as many kids as we thought we would.  In practice tonight I helped one freshman girl shoot a 99 and another new shooter (senior, I believe) shoot a perfect 10-x hundred. It was so cool to be a part of their success, I understand now why my mom loves it so much.

The end of the semester is quickly approaching and I’m going to have to chain myself to a chair in the library tomorrow. I have a test and a presentation due on Saturday (yes, Saturday. Stupid weekender classes), and I have questions due on Monday.  Saturday also marks the beginning of December, and I’ll have to buckle down and really commit myself to studying for the GREs. I’ve been doing a little bit of studying since I decided I wanted to apply to Ph.D. programs, but I told myself anything before December was bonus work. I’m shooting to study religiously for a month before I take the exams.

Stay tuned for further Christmasy updates tomorrow.
