LOL, I'm finally 21. Who let me get this old? :-D

A quote from my West. Civ. history book I had to pass on...

"Don't let a woman, wiggling her behind, and fluttering and coaxing take you in; she wants your barn: woman is just a cheat."
- Hesiod (8th Century BC)

Camp this summer was amazing... I worked with the most open, most comfortable, and tightest group of 30+ staff that I have ever been blessed to work with in some of the prettiest places I have ever been and lived in a platform tent for 3 1/2 months on a mountain. Adventure Links was unique in that they ran day camps and overnight camps at the ( Read more... )

I haven't updated in a while. I feel lazy. Not much has happened since the semester ended. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding and wore a beautiful strapless (yes, you did hear me correctly, strapless) sapphire blue dress and had my hair all done up in some fancy, curly up-do. LOL, I had never been to a hair salon before and felt so tense the whole ( Read more... )

LOL, this definition of crew cracks me up ( Read more... )

I had an interview for a summer camp job today. One of the questions Elena, the interviewer, asked me was, "If I had a full day to do whatever I wanted, what would I do?" Dorky, bio. major me told her that I'd spend it hiking around in the woods exploring, searching for salamanders and frogs in creeks, and watching wildlife in the trees and on ( Read more... )

Saturday was the Row Tide Regatta. We invited about 9 other teams to come compete with us, but only 4 made it: Vanderbilt, Tulane, Auburn, and Rhodes. My team had to arrive at the boathouse at 8am to finish setting up our grounds with bleachers, put the launches in the river, and other little final touches before the other teams started arriving ( Read more... )

Spring break is over without it ever feeling like it really began. :( After a 17 hour drive home to Virginia with my younger brother and 3 days home, I flew back down to Bama for crew spring break training. Because of the number of "crews" that we have, and so few boats, coach has us divided into 2 shifts. Tuesday, I was on the early shift, so ( Read more... )

We did it! The women's varsity lightweight 4 won gold! We raced at the Augusta Invitational in Aiken, SC against Georgia St., Skidmore College, Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), the University of Tampa, and Johns Hopkins University. It was a tough race. Tampa was our closest competitor, but we managed to hold first the whole race. We ( Read more... )

This past Friday the crew team travelled down to New Orleans for a one-on-one regatta with Tulane, and then the LSU crew joined up with us too. Tulane has a pretty sad looking setup for their boathouse- basically a wooden fence set up into a square with the boats inside. They row in a canal, so it's really narrow, not too deep, and you can't see ( Read more... )
