After a much anticipated trek back to Cleveland for the weekend…I find myself sitting here feeling like a crucial part of my life is rapidly approaching.  As opposed to summers past, (yes thinking ahead) this summer will be filled with internships and working 24-7…in addition to training for a half marathon and mentally training for an entire new role on the Wittenberg soccer team.

These next few months are going to bring about twists and turns in my life that will greatly impact the future in store for me. With these obstacles I see approaching,  I have to wonder: am I ready? will I succeed? am I making the right choices? The answers to these questions are much harder than they may appear.

Despite this, I still have to focus on schoolwork and not let the hard work I put in at the beginning of the semester become overshadowed by the “almost a senior” anxiety that will come with the end of the semester.  What a job in itself. 

Spring soccer is also something on my mind because our first practice is Tuesday.  I think I may have more thoughts regarding that than this page can hold so I will stick to the basics: I am so excited. I am so nervous. But, I am so happy to be back on the field.

This week is one of the few where I don’t have 203989875392878 tests in 2 days so hopefully I will be able to sit back, relax, and collect my thoughts.

Cheers to over analyzation.

As many students fret for this last week before spring break, my concern remains focused on the week that we return.

I don’t think I have ever thought about academics in the sunny Florida state…and now I will be lugging along notes, notecards and a few books to add extra weight in my suitcase.  However, I am NOT complaining because the simple thought of getting out of the snow, slush, and dismal weather that is Ohio, currently makes me extremely happy.

Ft. Lauderdale, Florida here I come.

Aside from my excitement about Spring break, I must say that I recently encountered some of the most horrible luck with cell phones which to me (now that I have a working phone) was pretty comical:

Broke my phone last saturday (we had a good run, 1 1/2 years)

Got a new phone last sunday (happy)

Dropped new phone in water cup on monday (scary)

New phone got stepped on @ indoor soccer game on tuesday (mad)

Just got new NEW phone yesterday after 23987098 faxes, phone calls, and claim ID numbers later (happy)

It is quite sad how much we rely on technology today, yet,  being the text-message addict that I am I won’t deny that I am probably right up there with the rest of society.

Thats all I have for now. Wishing everyone a safe, warm and splendid SB-08…

and when I return, spring soccer begins so that should leave me with plenty to talk about
