More golf...

So The Country Club is definitely one of my favorite courses of all time, even though it was not an easy one! I can absolutely see how it was a perfect course for some of the biggest tournaments in the golf world, the Ryder Cup, US Open, and the US Amateur.

The only strange thing about TCC is their cell phone policy: you may only use your cellular device inside your vehicle with the windows up and the doors closed. Overkill? I think so.

My high school golf team is headed back to states to defend the 8 straight state championship run this week at River Bend.... Good luck!!!!!!! I'll be there as a spectator this year, such a strange feeling!

Graduations and Golf

Congratulations NDA class of 2010!

I got the opportunity over the last few days to be the alumni sponsor of one of the graduating seniors! To think that it has been a whole year since I donned the white graduation gown and recieved my medallion from CL is absolutely crazy!

I also got the opportunity to play The Country Club this coming week and I am beyond excited to pay what is arguably the most famous golf course in the country and one of the most elite clubs in the world! Now I just have to get my game in shape!!!

3 Years!

So just a really quick post today, but probably my favorite anniversary of all time.... BM has been cancer free for exactly 3 years today!!!!!!!!!

Summer 2010

So summer 2010 has officially begun! My first day home was the junior prom in my town and I got to see BM's younger sister (whom I cannot believe is actually old enough to be going to prom in the first place...) get dressed and take pictures with her date and friends before they boarded an absurdly large party bus and drove off to her first ever prom in her pink princess dress!

Saturday I was reunited with CC and MEC and we decided that if we wanted ice cream from the local farm stand then we would have to ride bikes the 3 or so miles each way to earn it! Let me just say that the ice cream was completely worth the workout!! We also stopped by the new girls softball fields on our way home, and we decided that we were born a few years too early... The fields are gorgeous!

Although I am thoroughly enjoying my return home, I do miss the Stonehill bubble! One great thing about being home is being able to see my puppies and my cat as much as I want though! And to make it even more of a bonding experience, I have been sleeping on the couch with Newman every night because he cannot go upstairs after his knee surgery (torn ACL and meniscus...poor boy!!) so we have spent some quality time together since I have been home.

Now I get to get back to playing some tournament golf, and I have my first tournament of the summer on Thursday, and I really need to get my game in shape! I can't wait to get back to being on the golf course every day!

Happy summer 2010!!!!!

Its Not Goodbye, Its See You Later!

So I have one more final to go, SM is all moved out of her half of the room, JL and MK have packed up and left, and campus is getting less crowded by the minute.

Goodbyes are not my favorite thing in the world, but I am looking at the end of the school year as a "see you later" and I am looking forward to seeing all my friends as they return home from colleges across the country.

Oh, College

So in these last few days of studying (2 finals down thank you very much!) and slowly tearing apart my home away from home, I have realized that I'm going to miss Stonehill over the summer.

Case and point: Where else can you get up at 4:40 AM (because you have to go to work) and while walking across campus to your car, see a guy wrapped in a comforter drunk dialing someone as he does the walk of shame across campus as the sun comes up?!?

The summer plans have already begun: beach days, trips to the Vineyard, aimlessly wandering around Boston, and days spent lounging by the pool have already started to take form. Of course the most important part of the beginning of summer is re-uniting with everyone (MEC, CC, BM, MO, LB, and LM!). MEC lands in Boston in just over 24 hours and I CAN'T WAIT!

Oh, by the way... Happy Mother's Day!

Let the studying begin...

Classes are over, 24 hour quiet hours are just a few short hours away, the meal plan is gone, and my crazy habit of making absurdly long study guides has begun. Ohhh finals, how I despise you.

Normally, I would think that the onset of finals would mean that I would go on a bit of a blogging hiatus, but I have a strange feeling that this site will become one of my favorite little distractions.

Happy Last Day of Classes Stonehill!!

Almost There

So I am sitting here on my computer, putting the final touches on my two papers that are due tomorrow....and tomorrow is the last day of classes. 3 classes and 5 finals stand between me and summer 2010, and I can't wait.

Today I indulged in a bit of retail therapy, but it was for a good cause. I bought a dress at j.crew that was normally priced at $118. I paid $39.99. I'm so proud of my shopping skills. I actually needed the dress for a few upcoming events anyways, and I can't pass up a deal.

Mine is pink.

Happy almost end of the school year!

The Packing Has Commenced!

I'm not sure if I should be happy or sad about this. I have begun to pack up my clothes so that they can be brought home for the summer.

One thing that I noticed as I piled clothes into my big green plastic bins is this: I have SO MANY CLOTHES! Seriously, After I packed 2 bins to the brim and a duffel bag that was big enough to use for a week in Florida, my closet still doesn't look like I did a thing.

There are 3 more days of classes and then finals start... and I still have so much work left to do.

Happy Monday!

Summer?

So apparently we have jumped right into summer. Today the thermometer hit 90 in my car and its May 2nd!

I have also reaffirmed my position saying that the one thing that is not fun about life in a dorm is the heat, it is over 90 in my room at the moment, and it does not seem to be improving despite my best efforts... time to go home for summer and bask in the wonders of A/C.

The last week of classes is here, and I cant believe that I have 2 finals at the end of this week. Its all ending so fast!
