better late than never... right?

K well I WAS doing really well, but 4 times in one month is still good for me. This week was a good one for me, full of school, work and rugby, same as usual. This was my last full week of classes. Ever. Well for undergrad. But still, kinda weird. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty much the same as usual, I'm sad I'm almost done with Badminton because that's been pretty bomb. Thursday I got to go to my friends Trumpet recital, which was really cool. He played some awesome songs, I loved it. I finally watched Hot Rod with some friends, made me miss good times at home with the crew. Friday I slept in and puttered around for a bit before basketball. Got my contract all taken care of with Bryn, went to practice in the snow (that was a blast). After that we went out for Sushi since it was my friend, Chris's, last night before he left for Naval Training. Definitely ate myself silly. Then it was my last Divine Comedy show :[ very sad I'll be leaving that, I love the laughter I get from them. After the show Keilani, Megan and I went to get frozen yogurt. Always a good decision. Saturday was the Champion Submission Challenge where I got to see all my friends do so great! I was sad I couldn't compete, but playoffs next week are more important than a grappling tournament. After the tournament we made Doughnut Bacon Cheeseburgers (weirdly delicious) and partied like usual. I got to go to Britt's bachelorette party after that, so fun. Today has been nice and relaxing so far, I do love Sundays. So, pretty typical week for me. This week we leave for Cali (FINALLY) and have our regional tournament for Sweet 16 seeding. I CAN'T WAIT.

In other news, I graduate in 12 days. Totally weird. I also only have, at most, 35 days left in Provo. Also weird. This semester has flown by, but been very slow at the same time. It's a strange sensation.

In closing, let me share with you this really cool project I found online. There's a photographer from Canada who's been posting his pictures with different quotes once a day for a year (I think he's like halfway through) and they're way sweet. So check out www.365q.ca for some inspirational thoughts and photos :]

fulfillment

3 times in one week? Man, I'm getting good at this. We'll see if it stays up, here's to hoping. This weekend, I've decided, has been one of accomplishment and fulfillment. It started by finishing my 15-page literature review for my writing class. It's been my only real difficult work of the semester and I'm SO glad it's done. I hope I never have to write a 15-page paper again. Thursday night, me and the team got together to prep for our playoff games this weekend. We may have had a little too much fun with our floor of mattresses. Friday was our first official game of playoffs against Cal Berkeley, we were super excited for the game and it was so good to finally get some good competition. We won 67-21 (it might have been 63) and secured our spot in the Pacific Coast Territorial playoff in 2 weeks. After the game I got to spend some time with the fam; I love having my beautiful nieces come out to my my games, their little cheers are so precious. Me and some of the other girls got to go to temple later in the afternoon and that was lovely, as always. Then I got paid to watch the boys rugby game, my job really rocks sometimes. Saturday we got to start the morning as a team watching general conference before our game with Chico State (they beat Oregon the day before). This game determined the seed we get going into the Pac Coast. We won 41-10 so it is now official, we are playing UC-Davis in 2 weeks in California. O man, I can not wait. Saturday ended with a Priesthood session party with the BJJ crew. Jalepeno poppers, Poutine, cookies, Mojitos. It was a lovely night that ended in Curses and Tangled. Sunday got a beautiful start by actually getting to sleep in, followed by an incredible conference session. I can't wait for this afternoon's session, this conference has been an amazing spiritual feast.

Cool experience of the weekend: remaining undefeated, we're now 11-0 on the season [not including Stanford 10's].

Realization of the weekend: I graduate in 19 days. That's weird. Nationals are in 40 days. This year has flown by.
