2 wins + Banquet + Parents

GW 3 .. HOYAS 4 .. haha. you lose, colonials.
Mt. St. Mary's 2 .. HOYAS 3 .. haha. took 2

Playing two games on Saturday .. what a rush. I was so into the GW game that I took a second to breathe it in, and I just smiled. Looking around at my teammates .. I knew that was where I was supposed to be .. and where I should always be. Something/Someone placed me there .. it was meant to be. Cheering them on and having fun. Softball keeps me grounded .. always will.

Breakfast (my mom made her famous egg casserole) with my parents, mac & parents, jordan, meliss, jill, kara, francesca, regina, lauren = amazing. It was so much fun to have such a dynamic & energy in the house. I love them all and I wouldn't have wished for a better time. The banquet was really nice .. Christina's speech was beautiful, and made me cry like crazy. Slideshow of pictures was awesome .. named captains (Suria, Sam, and Kelsie).

Overall, was a great weekend. Looking forward to practice tomorrow night (and games this weekend).. I love being with my team. We push hard together and we get through it together. Love you guys <3.

Libs .. again

Currently trying to get work done .. well aside from typing this, lol. I know I haven't written in awhile, and what a better time then while I'm supposed to be doing work? True story: I'm hooked on Miley Cyrus' song "Party in the USA" (sorry Mackensey!). Jamming to it now. Badass.

So the past week has definitely been better than the first couple weeks here. Much less stressful, and I've been getting back some awesome grades on papers that I've written (doesn't usually happen, haha). No but really, I've been getting a lot of work done, so I'm pretty proud of that. My classes are pretty freakin' sweet too. I'm ACTUALLY paying attention in all of them, and I've been on top of it all. Luckily, I only have one final (and mid-term I think?), and the rest are group projects. Call me a lucky duck, I guess? I'm sure the group projects will still be a pain in the butt simply because .. they are group projects :).

SOOOO my parents come this weekend! woot! Very excited to see them, and show them my room! Really really excited to play GW and Mt. St. Mary's this Saturday. I mean practicing is cool and all, but playing is where it's at! PLUS Coach Pat said that we can get the same bats that we had my sophomore year (which I balled up with .. yeah, probably all mental, but oh well) .. so me, Mac, and Jordy went and gave Coach E the orders we wanted for our new (sweet) bats. We're all gonna rock this year .. I CAN FEEL IT!!!

Otherwise, I've been mostly hanging out and staying up late getting work done. Powered through an "almost" all-nighter on Tuesday. Stayed in the libs till 4am writing a paper (which I do not suggest, ever!). Hopefully it turns out to be a decent paper, because I really feel like I expressed my views well throughout the whole thing. I have a group project for SRB (Social Responsibility of Business) due Saturday by noon (random day and time? i think so), and it has to do with discrimination throughout the workplace. The first case has to do with an African American man wanting to work in a predominantly racist area of Georgia - do I let him work there, or do I pull the plug? The second case has me deciding whether hiring a homosexual man will hurt my company, and have me losing clients. My heart is telling me one thing, but my head is pulling me a little in the opposite direction. Immediately I say "HIRE HIM!" .. since he is extremely qualified. But my professor reminded us that we have to think like a manager here, and we have to put our personal feelings aside. Anyway, I shared the information with my mom (since I value her opinion) and she forwarded it to my dad, my friend Corey's dad (who gave me Corey's opinion as well) .. and so now I have many opinions of what I should do. I have to admit, it's pretty cool to see what everyone thinks!! Gay or straight - being qualified is key, was the main consensus that I received. I'm sorry if the clients can't handle his sexuality, but this is the 21st century .. let's go people .. (sorry, I know I'm rambling!)

I think I just typed all that without even blinking an eye. I love going through the cases for my classes .. I'm definitely a business student at heart. :) (just gotta help Mackensey decide now :-P) .. Lift was rough today . . the weight is so ridiculously heavy and everyone is hurting their backs from it. I didn't jump up in weight too much, but I'm already feeling tight .. After lift, a bunch of us ate at Leo's and then Mackensey made brownies at my place (they were awesome) .. and didn't burn the place down!! :: golf clap :: ;) .. Then some girls came over to watch Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice .. AMAZING SHOWS. 9-11pm Thursdays, I will always be out of commission, haha. I'm also behind on The Biggest Loser, since I couldn't watch it this week .. but I think my fav. guy got kicked off (someone leaked it to me), so that makes me sad. I'll still watch it when I can though.

BANQUET ON SUNDAY! WOOT! I love the banquet .. makes me uber happy. This is probably wayyy long enough of a post. Night Night.
