Sometimes during the day, I will have these "blog" moments. I think of something random and then think, "I should blog that." I suppose it is because there is really no point to the thought other then my amusement by it. Anyways, two "blog" moments of the day:
1. I should rename or at least have a series of blogs entitled "what I learned today." I'm sure why I think this is such a great idea, but I guess it's because everyday you learn something new. No matter how insignificant the thing is...you still learned about it. There could be some interesting stories in there. Somewhere. I think...ya...anyways...
2. My $199 nap. I looked up what type of couches are in the team room because my naps on the team room couches are simply: amazing. There is no other way to describe them. I found that I could buy a Klippan loveseat (and therefore amazing naps) at ikea for $199. It might be worth it, seriously considering buying one for a bed.
in the words of the keebler house girls:
peace out.

interesting
Facebook is evil. I just spent way too much time looking at pictures and reading profiles. I didn't realize how much time I actually wasted until now. Oops. Anyways, I can across some people that I had met about a two years ago that are now married. They are currently seniors and are married. I kind-of just hit me: people my age are getting married.
It's not really that scary to me, I'm rather indifferent about the whole thing. Actually, it make logical sense. I could easily see myself getting married now that college is about over and I have a job. It almost make life a little less scary...Knowing someone will be there to tackle it with you. Though, I suppose I would need to find a boy for that to happen.
Which by the way, really bothers me. I don't understand why people get so upset about finding a boy or not having a boyfriend. Statistically speaking, there really is no reason to worry. The majority of adult Americans have been married...at least once. I guess I've always trusted that God would help me find the right guy. Yes, boys are nice...but unless he's the right one, I am really quite content with being single.
Perhaps I am too independent to relate to this need of "having someone." Or perhaps I just suck at relationships. Either way, I can guarantee I won't spend valentines day/"single-awareness day (SAD)" feeling sorry for myself like half the the college female population. Honestly, that's just plain stupid.

life.
Busy, Busy, Busy. How can life go from so relaxing to so busy so fast?!
Actually, I think it is called College.
Classes are in full swing now, along with all other activities. After much deliberation I've decided not to drop any classes. A-term is completely full. I was explaining my schedule to Laura in Tax 2 last night, and she said, "how do you keep up with classes?" I laughed.
I don't think I have ever felt like I have been "keeping up" with classes. Mostly I just try not to fall too far behind.
On that note...I should go study some Audit.

The end
It's officially the beginning of the end. My last semester of school has started and senior night is tomorrow. I'm ready to be done but I'm also ready to enjoy the end. I was supposed to put together my senior bio for tomorrow, but I haven't finished it yet. I'm really struggling and I'm not sure why. There are a lot of people that I want to thank, but I just don' t know what the right thing to say is. This is what I have so far:
I want to thank my parents for being so dedicated to something that I love to do. Thank you for driving me to all those 6 am practices, attending hundreds of hours of swim meets and for your unconditional love and support. I could have not have done it without you.
I want to thank all my Coaches: Jean, Terry, and Kelly, for their encouragement both in and out of the pool. You all have helped me discover who I am, and taught me to believe in myself.
Thank you to my teammates - past and present for the all the memories. I am a better person for knowing each one of you.
Thank you especially to this year's senior class. You are all such gifted and motivated women. Four years ago, I could have never imagined how close we all would become. Thank you for the laughs, the hugs, and your friendship. You mean more to me than you could imagine.
that might have to do. :/

goals for 06
Home at last.
Hawaii and training trip was wonderful as usual. I always forget how long we are gone for. It seems like I miss so much of the holidays. The Christmas decorations were taken down before I got home. I didn’t even make it to midnight on new years. We were too tired to stay up for the fireworks. Pathetic, I know. Despite my new year’s “celebration”, I’ve decided to participate in making some new year’s resolutions. I’ve never been really big on Resolutions; I always believed anytime is a good time to set goals for yourself. I mean why wait till January to start something? However, this year is going to bring a lot of change. Therefore, there are several things I would like to focus on.
1. Be less serious.
In my meeting before training trip, Kelly asked me if I felt incredibly mature compared to the rest of the team. He said that I act like and think about that most adults don’t think about till they are in their late twenties or early thirties. Although, he was mostly talking about my ability to plan for my future, I realized that most people would say I act a lot older than I am. I not implying that it’s a bad thing that I’m so focused. I just want to make sure that I don’t miss out on fun.
2. Read a book a month.
Over training trip I read more books than I have in a long time. I miss reading. There are a lot of good books out there that I should be reading and would enjoy reading. I think a reasonable goal would be a book a month.
3. Use the Phone.
I have this strange phone phobia. I really don’t like calling people and talking on the phone. I have gotten much better at returning calls, but I sure could use some improvement. This resolution includes calling up friends…just to talk. This is so much harder for me then it sounds. The curse of the introvert...
4. Train consistently.
I want to win a triathlon (or at least my win my age group) this summer. It is very possible, but it will take a consistent effort on my part. Working out alone has always been harder for me than working out with other people. In addition, this year will be my first without swim practice. I need to embrace exercise as a lifestyle, and learn how to structure it into my life as so.
