Mini Convention

Yesterday I attended the session about building an elementary level exercise facility. I think Mohawk Elementary's facility is absolutely amazing. The virtual reality games that they chose would motivate students of all ages and it really does get the students moving. It was a very informative session and I'm glad that I went to it. I would like to build and plan something like that to help make the school PE program that I work in better. It is something that even the faculty members could get involved in during after school hours.

Rugby Weekend

This weekend I traveled to Michigan to play rugby. I was chosen to play on the team that represents the Allegheny Rugby Union. They choose girls that are under 23 from teams in our area and we travel to different places every year to compete against other Unions. We ended up taking third place in the tournament. I had an awesome time both on and off the field and I met some amazing people. I may have the oportunity to try out for the Midwest rugby team in May if we get selected to go and we should find out sometime this week.

Its Finally Spring

This weeks weather has been absolutely gorgeous!! I love the spring time! Its so nice being able to walk to class and not be bundled up so you don't freeze to death. I wore sandles the other day for the first time since the summer and it felt so good. My roommates got a bird feeder and evey morning they watch the birds while they eat breakfast. Its nice to hear the birds churping when you wake up in the morning instead of dead silence. When I had to walk to the gym in the morning for training it was always silent until it got closer to spring.

First day back

Yesterday was my first day of rugby practice. I knew I would be sore but I didn't think I would be as sore as I am. I figured since I have been working out and lifting that I would alright. I realized this morning when I woke up and had to role out of bed that I was not in rugby shape. I also have a ton of bruises already. I guess I figured out the hard way just how out of shape I really am.

Freedom

As you probably already know from reading my postings from last week, Miss SRU is finally over. I had a good time on sunday and I'm pretty sure I will do it again next year. It was a good experience for my first show and I hope to maybe even do some bigger shows when I get a job and can afford to pay for the things I need. Now I have to get myself on a new schedule now that the show is over. I have so much more time to do things that I want to do now.
