Relaxing Saturday

Today is not a typical day school day, but it’s still been very eventful! I went to Cornell College this morning to play in a women’s volleyball tournament with an adult team. I've played on this team every winter since my freshman year at Coe. I love playing with them, and it has been a great way to stay in shape in the off-season! We travel all over Iowa and out-of-state for regional and national tournaments. Unfortunately we didn't play as well this morning, so I got home earlier than normal.

My apartment in really quite today. Two of my roommates, Amber and Shanon, play basketball for Coe. This evening they will be playing Luther in Decorah…hopefully winning to advance their record to 13-5! My other roommate, Holly, is a thrower for Coe’s track team; today she is in a meet at Wisconsin-Whitewater. Check out their picture below!

Shanon (left), Amber (top) and Holly(bottom) went sledding right behind our apartment for a study break during finals week. They used our green plastic sheet (part of our Christmas decor) as their sled!

Right now I’m catching up on some reading and will soon be writing a paper for my Advanced Journalism class on Tuesday. So far I’m really enjoying my courses this semester! I’m working 20 hours a week in Coe’s Public Relations Department, so I only have three classes for the first time in four years! (A four class schedule is a considered a full load.) In addition to the journalism class, my other two are Advanced Writing Workshop and Human Relations. All of my professors are really fun, and the small class sizes are perfect for small group discussions!

Tonight I think I’m heading out to dinner and a movie, and tomorrow I’m headed to West Branch for a Birthday party. I hope all of you are having a fantastic weekend, too!
