With papers and midterms last week, I was really busy studying and typing multiple papers...but I finished all of my work, it's officially the first day of spring break!! We have a full week off, so I think most Coe students went home, to Panama, or somewhere else where there's less snow. I'm still in Iowa, but still having a great time. :)
I didn't have class on Friday, so I went to the NCAA National Wrestling Tournament at the U. S. Cellular Center in the afternoon. It was awesome. Coe qualified 5 wrestlers, and all 5 advanced to today, knowing they would place -- meaning all of them are All-Americans! Tonight, 3 competed for a national title. I was at the meet this morning, but since I wasn't able to go back tonight, I watched it live online. Even though the Internet doesn't create quite the excitement that the U.S. Cellular atmosphere generates, it was still worthwhile to watch. We ended up with one-1st place and two-2nd place winners! Check out how all of our studly wrestlers did at http://www.coe.edu/athletics/wrestling/index.htm.
This week I'll be traveling between home (Tama-Toledo, IA) and Cedar Rapids, just enjoying the break from classes and trying to plan my life after I graduate in May! The NCAA Indoor Track and Field National Meet is next weekend, and my roommate Holly qualified for the hammer throw!!! I think my other roomies and I will be traveling to Ada, Ohio on Thursday night to watch her compete on Friday. It's almost a 10 hour drive...that will be great for some quality bonding time! I'm just excited to go somewhere -- even if it's Ohio! -- for break.
Classes will start back up on Monday, and after that, there is only six more weeks of class before finals. Time is going even faster ... check back for some pictures updates later this week!
