It's almost April and yet there was snow falling from the sky earlier today. I had the joy of getting to run in it during track practice. It wasn't a very fun practice to say the least.
The end of the school year is coming up quickly and I am as busy as ever. Civic engagement day is next Wednesday, and I have to get a poster ready to present for it for my Issues of Modern America class. I've been working on getting things ready for it slowly, but have been very productive tonight on finding some graphs to put on it, and reading books to have background information on it.
Even though I have been busy and stressed out this week, I have still managed to have some fun here on campus. One of my best friends and her boyfriend had their one year anniversary of dating yesterday. Her boyfriend had her get notes from her closest friends here on campus throughout the day, which just made her more anxious on what she was going to get at the end of the day. It was fun seeing her all excited and annoyed throughout the day as she just had to keep waiting for her surprise. Finally, at like 11:30 last night she got her gift from him, which was a diamond necklace. She couldn't stop smiling, and it was just awesome that I got to be part of that moment.
Hopefully the weather around here starts to get warmer because I want it to feel like spring and not for it just to be spring!

First outdoor track meet of the season was today and it went pretty well. The girls track team got 3rd out of 6 teams at the meet held at Defiance. I ran the 5000 meter and finished 30 seconds faster than what I did last year at this point, so I am pretty happy with how it went.
I've been busy every since getting back on campus after spring break. I have had a lot of homework to do for my classes, and I know I will be busy the rest of the semester with stuff. I have a research paper coming up that's due in April, and I have a presentation to put together for civic engagement day the first week of April for my Issues of Modern America class. I also have a paper due for my Humanities class coming up this Tuesday that I need to finish up. Needless to say, I have been a very busy college student and will continue to be.

Spring Break '11 has been a good one so far. Last week was another stressful week of school, so now that spring break is finally here and been going on now for a little bit, I have been able to relax some.
My boyfriend came home with me Friday and spent the weekend with me. We went to Target on Saturday, which is my favorite store, and I got the 7th season of "One Tree Hill" which is one of my favorite shows. Needless to say it was a win-win for me :) haha Then Sunday, we went to Columbus to watch the OSU vs. Wisconsin men's basketball game. Best basketball game I have been to probably in my life. The crowd was full of energy and loud the entire game. OSU won in impressive fashion and won the Big Ten Regular Season Championship. And before the game, Michael and I met up with my friend Matt from high school and ate lunch with him at Sloopy's in the Ohio State Student Union Center. It was great catching up with him and seeing him again.
Monday, Tuesday, and today I was at Michael's house had a great time with him, his family, and some of his friends that I met while bowling Monday night. As I said, break has been great so far, but I do kind of miss my Bluffton friends.
I do need to work on some papers and a presentation, so hopefully I will start getting on that tomorrow.
Today also was a sad day for the Bluffton University community, as one of the members of the senior class, Jacob Graham, was killed in a car accident. I know Jacob brought a lot of smiles to many people on campus. It's going to be hard not seeing him around campus anymore. Prayers go out to his family.
