Back in town

i am back in ripon! well i have been here for 3 1/2 weeks, and its great. i still live with my same roommate from last year, and we always have a good time. its amazing how fast summer turned into fall this year, i am hoping that soon we will have a few more warm days! i love all my new classes. especially fencing which my roommate and i are taking together. she likes to dance while we fence. i am working away at the first admissions event for the year, the first open house. i have to miss the actual event because i am going to Iowa for the first forensics tournament of the year! i cant wait for that, actually i can because there is so much work to be done! more later!

summer in the city

well im far from wisconsin right now, back in southern california and at 10:20pm at nights it is about 80 degrees, i would almost take freezing weather condidtions over this.
not going to post this summer except for once and a while to keep it active.
have a great summer

wisconsin coaches association state tournament: FORENSICS!!!

today was so long! i got up at 530 am so i could be outside ready to go at 6 am! we began setting up then! there were 1000 high school students from all over the state competing for state champion in 17 different speaking events... last night i judged the congress rounds which were interesting to say the least. to day i did errands and all sorts of other things. i really love being on the speech team because it is made up of so many wonderful people. it is also so nice to part of a community like forensics were everybody jsut gets along! it took voer 12 hours to complete the day but now im in my and showered. im exhausted but it was so much fun!

flip-flop season again

the snow is gone, the snow has melted, i could do a sing and dance. its a sunny 47degrees! im really happy! school is almost over and there is a lot to do, roughly 4 papers, 3 finals, a forensics tournament, an expo and packing! its been a great year!
today we are catching up on some gilmore girls and enjoying being comfy in our chairs, i think i shall go outside for a while and maybe hit up the gym!

i love the sunshine! but i miss ripon. life at home is rather dull compared to ripon.
we went hiking this morning because it supposed to rain tommorrow! it was really pretty today but there were snakes so we had to turn around. the joys of living by the beach but also in a desert! cant wait to see my roommates on sunday
