Getting underway
Last night we had a meeting with two stick reps for hockey, Easton and Sherwood. This year we are doing something differently where we get a budget to buy as many sticks as we can get. I was unhappy when i found out that Bauer wasn't going to send a stick rep, because last year the we use Bauer Vapor XXX sticks and they were my absolute favorite. Lucky for me I talked to my coach into letting me use up the rest of the Bauer shafts until they're gone then I can work on the Easton Z-Bubble that I picked out last night. I'm not happy with the Z-Bubble because they're orange. However, it is the closet stick to what I had last year that Easton sells. Now that we've had the team meeting and now the stick rep meeting I am getting very excited, however, nervous at the same time. I'm skating today with most of my team, which is really exciting especially cause I haven't skated with any of them since last season. However, I am beginning to be become very scared about pre-season starting, because I am not in as good of shape as I was in last year. I'm trying to get back to that point but it's just not so easy in so short of time. On next Tuesday, we have 6am testing. I am not looking forward to that because of waking up that early and also being physically tested on my fitness ability. The rest of this week I'm going to be training really hard and trying my best to get in the best shape as I can.

Day 2
Today started off well, I didn't have a class until 10:05. Because of this I was able to sleep in and be well rested for a long day. My first class was only 20 minutes long which was really nice, especially since it was politics, which is not my strongest class. The professor seemed pretty cool. I went back to my room to start reading already unfournataly. My friend Meaghan asked me to go to lunch with her so, I met her outside of my dorm and we walked to Dragon to get lunch. We both had turkey wraps, although she had something nasty on it, but mine was just cheese, lettuce, turkey and the wrap. After lunch I made my way up the hill to Moffet, to find my friend Pat sitting in the class I was heading to. It was exciting cause I can already tell that this semester is going to fly by, with him in my class. Next who walked in was our friend Heinz. We all play hockey, although they play for the Men's team and I play for the Women's team, but we are pretty good friends. Now I'm sitting here writing this blog, wondering what to write, and if this is going to be 300 words or not. After class I'm going to workout with my friend/ future teammate, Hakes. I've known her since I was basically 12 or so. We've played hockey together every year since, except last year seeing as i was here and she was still in high school. After working out I'm planning on going to eat dinner with my friend Emily, after she gets out of her class. Then at 7pm tonight I have a hockey meeting with our new coach. I am scared to meet him and to get things underway seeing as I didn't train as well as I should've this summer.
