I'm cold
I'm cold today. It's only 6 degrees out, and is only supposed to get to 2 degrees tomorrow. We have the Panther open tomorrow. I run the mile at 12:10. I hope to run as fast as I did last year or faster. I ran a 5:20 last year, and this meet was the 3rd meet of the year.

Homesickness
Hey all,
It is the 2nd day of spring semester classes. I am feeling pretty homesick. I can't believe it, because it is my fourth semester in college and I haven't ever feel like this before. I think it is because I was with my family so much during the month long winter break. I have been praying that I feel better and hopefully it happens soon. I guess we have next Monday off so I am going home after Saturday's meet. Yes, we have a meet on the first Saturday after we get back. I think I'll be running the mile and I am praying that the race goes well. I don't think, well I know that I didn't do as much running as I should have over the break. I did about as much as I did during cross season and that isn't saying much. I just want to stay positive and run faster than I did last year.
I have been having a little class crisis. I am signed up for organic II, organic lab, anatomy and physiology I, honors Men, Women, and society, and Advanced writing (spanish). I think I am going to drop Spanish because it would be really hard to get a minor with the time I have left. And I don't remember any Spanish. Organic II and lab are supposed to be really time consuming. Also, A and P is supposed to take a lot of time. And Men, Women, and Society sounds like it will be a lot of work. I also have my honor's service learning project (we find a problem in the community and try to solve it) and that I think will take a lot of time. I am trying to justify only taking 13 hours this semester. I think I have my hands full though.
I've also been having a crisis with the summer research idea. I have found a position at ISU (2 hours away from home) and I could sign up for a position at Iowa (30 min from home). I am already guaranteed a postition at ISU and it is with an amazing researcher, but I don't know if I want to be so far from home. Maybe I need to just suck it up, but it seems like I'd lose my summer break (when you're supposed to spend time with your family). I need to pray about that too.
Anyways, I needed to tell someone all this before I have a nervous breakdown. Off to do some organic,
Andrea
