Home Stretch

Earlier this evening:
It's cold and smoky out, but I'm sitting in my big soft chair, wrapped in my new blanket, eating a hot cup of broccoli and cheese soup, listening to the chapel bells. I feel a little better about finals week.

It was pretty rough leaving my home after Thanksgiving this year. I was lucky enough to have no obligations on Monday, so I could stay a little longer, but still. Ugh. Such a tease. I wish Thanksgiving weren't so late this year- we came right back in for the last week of classes and I have a lot a lot a lot to do. Only two more weeks though! And there are some fun things happening in them: the President's Reception, Senior Snowball, a day trip to New York this Saturday, Field Day with the Burmese kids, and maybe another trip after that. I'm done on the 16th, I believe.

Oh also! Today I really came back to team workouts. I did the lift and the erg workout. Well- it was musical ergs and I didn't do the switcheroos, but I did do the whole thing. I will be VERY sore tomorrow, but that's to be expected. I'm just glad I finally got motivated to be back (the holiday weight may have had something to do with this) and I'm well on my way to reclaiming my title as DYNO-master.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
