Worcester City Championships!

Today was a wonderful day! I woke up with the plan to do nothing all day long! I didn't have my discussion today, so I watched myriad episodes of my new tv show...Friday NIght Lights! It's so good! In the afternoon I went to get stretched out by the trainers before my meet at Holy Cross. I then grabbed a quick bite to eat with my friend Andy and then headed off to Holy Cross for the Worcester City Championships. In this meet, WPI, Clark, Holy Cross and Assumption (girls) compete. It was very exciting. For diving, the girls competed 6 optionals on one meter and the boys competed 6 optionals on three meter. I LOVE the boards at HC. I want to bring them back to Clark! I did very very well today! I got a new high score by 20 points, so that was successful. I got 6.5's on a few of my dives! I was very excited! Afterwards, I was practicing on three meter for tomorrow, and I ended up belly flopping during my fail at a reverse dive. It was super painful and currently my legs are blue :( So sad. But, I was cheered up when my coach asked me to swim in the 200 Free Relay. I was only two seconds off my personal best and I beat a lot of the others girls I was swimming against. I would say that's pretty good since I haven't trained for swimming in about four or five-ish years! After I got out and was cheering on the rest of my team, I had myriad people come up to me and tell me that they were impressed by how good I was at swimming! That was an extremely nice compliment and it really boosted my confidence for going into day two of the meet!

Almost Vacation!

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season and the end of finals! Last night was the conclusion of 4 out of 5 finals! I still have one paper left, but I'm feeling pretty good about it because I plan to finish it tonight while babysitting! Today my mom and I started the infamous cookie weekend! Today me made about ten different kinds I think! Ah. This is my favorite time of the year! Tomorrow morning, the festivities will continue!

Have you ever met someone that you just immediately have a connection with? You walk in the room and they are the first person that you see? I met someone like this recently. He is really sweet, funny and has a great personality. We have been talking all week and it's crazy because we have so much in common! He is truely a wonderful and ambitious person.

Well, the kiddies are calling! I hope y'all have a great weekend!

Also..... Add this to my wish list! Not that I have a christmas tree, but I could definitely find an alternative use for them! They are sooo cute!

Ugh. Finals

Life during finals is not very exciting! Yesterday I went to the NU Cafe with Meridee and worked on my Jewish Pop. Culture Paper. Then I watched a lot of FRIENDS! Ah. My stress show. Whenever I need to take a break from life, I always turn to Friends. I love it. Last night I did some studying for the Art History Final. Today I got comments back from my JPC Professor and I am finishing the last draft before I send it to mommy! I will also finish going over my note cards and reads for Art History. Yay for being productive. And.... in an hour I have diving captains practice! Yay...the excitingness in life. I'm babysitting on Saturday night, which should be exciting. I really need to make some money because I feel like I've been blowing through!


In other news.... I got my suit for training trip! I got it in purple! It's super cute!

"So baby let's don't call it a night.

Love the way you're holdin' me tight.

When you're next to me, there's no place I'd rather be.

Everything is feeling so right

So baby let's don't call it a night."

"I don't know what road we're on or where we've been

From staring at you girl

All I know is I don't want this night to end."

"May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud, dignified and true
And do unto to others ad you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay."

Promakah 2011

Whew! What a weekend!


Friday night was craft night at Blackstone! Nica and Sam came over for some excellent craft time, pasta making, croissant making and nail painting. It was super! Andrew and I went to the library for a little and worked on the thesis for my Jewish Pop. Culture paper. Then..... I came back to Blackstone and dyed my hair pomegranate with my roommates! I really like how it came out! Check out the Promakah pictures below to see what it looks like!
Yesterday afternoon I took a trek down to the University of Hartford, located in West Hartford, CT. For the past five years the Hartford Hillel has held Promakah (Prom+Chanukah). It was so much fun!! I got all dressed up with a bunch of really great people! Below are some pictures from the event! Today, when I left Hartford, I went to Rein's Deli for lunch with my aunt to celebrate her birthday! It was so delicious! I got latkes, and I couldn't finish them so I had some to bring back to school! Yumm! Tonight is the women's swim+dive team holiday panty exchange! woohoo! I'll have to post about what i get!
