Optics exam in 50 minutes. Oh boy. I don't feel like I'm ready enough for this, even though I've been studying for this for the past two days. I want to do well, but then again, I really don't care about this class. I enjoy the material for the most part, but our professor radiates this "I don't really care how well my students do" attitude that ( Read more... )

Travis instituted new conditioning this morning for us land-practice folks. The workout was supposed to be 3x2k (3 sets of 2000 metres) with a two-minute rest in between. We got through two sets and he told us to put up the ergs because he had a new task for us. We got to haul the remains of the trailer-breaking tree behind ARC's boathouse on the ( Read more... )

So I'm slacking about updating. Oops. I spent the duration of the week sick, so I wasn't really in the mood to write. Yeah the cold I didn't want to get I caught. I ended up skipping practice Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday because I felt so bad. Well, no, Friday doesn't count.

What a shock after a few nice weekends of 80 degree temps and sunshine. It didn't take me long to lose feeling in my fingers and toes. Because it wasn't just cold and wet, there was also wind. I ( Read more... )

Things have finally improved with crew. Last Thursday was a good practice, though Travis did threaten us. He said that if our boat didn't improve, that the race at Lake Lanier would be our first and last race of the season. The regatta itself this past weekend went well. It was beautiful weather, perfect for rowing. Unfortunately, all the morning ( Read more... )
