It is now the home stretch of the semester with one month left of school until the Winter Break. There was no meet for our team this weekend as we continue to prepare for the Regional meet this Saturday. Practice has been going well with intense workouts. However, more than a few members of our team have injured themselves over the past week, which is unfortunate. We will have to run extremely well to compete this weekend.
School has been consistent for the most part. Things are starting to get hectic as the semester comes to a conclusion. As for enjoyable matters, there was a movie night this past Wednesday at 8:00 PM presented by FAB (Fontbonne Activities Board). We watched Up in the Air. It was a good movie with the theme that people sometimes try to live solo and without the love of others when they truly need others to be happy. On Friday, I met with my advisor to schedule classes for next semester. I have exactly ten classes to take before I graduate.
Saturday night was awesome! I went to Dance Marathon at Washington University with several of my friends to dance for twelve hours while also raising money for Children's Miracle Network. Children's Miracle Network donates money for patients and research at Children's Hospital and Cardinal-Glennon Children's Hospital. Dancing for twelve hours and yelling to show our Fontbonne spirit earned our teams from Fontbonne the Spirit Award. It was the first time we have ever won that honor. The night was just one of those amazing nights.
Yesterday, I attended a Self-Defense program that taught me much valuable information. I learned about ways to stop someone who is choking you, ways to fight intelligently, and techniques to take in order to seriously injure an attacker. It was a wonderful two hours spent with friends while also learning a lot. At any rate, it is a very important week both academically and athletically. I hope we can run well this Saturday!
