I'm Back!

I thought that was an interesting view of the arch.

Anyway I'm back! The competition was pretty uneventful. We came in 29th place. There were 32 teams competing, so at least we didn't come in last. But it was still a fun trip. But I'm glad to be home and ready to start back with training.

While in St. Louis, we did lots of walking, but dieting sucked. One night we all went to this fancy restaurant and got steak. I had a 14 ounce NY strip with salad and risotto with crème brûlée for dessert. I ate every bit of it (oink oink!) seeing that it cost me $44!!! But that was probably the best meal I've had in years!

On airport days, my team advisor and I did a "Deb Walk" around the terminal until our plane was boarding. And with a 4 hour delayed layover in Houston, that was a pretty long walk!

Past couple of days have been pretty unproductive. No training or anything. Back to eating the wrong things again. Bad me. Back on the ball tomorrow (I've said that alot recently!).

What's happened while I was gone? Everyone doing ok?

See you guys later!!!

The Week From Hell.

This has and is going to continue to be a very chaotic week. I am up to my ears with things I've got to do. Two Speeches, a presentation, four exams, three 3-hour band rehersals, a band concert, and a breakfast with the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court (I promise I'm not making that up!), I think I'm going to scream! To top it all off, I have to be at the airport at 4 am on Friday to catch a plane to St. Louis for the Scholar's Bowl Competion (more on that later). So it's safe to say that I haven't gotten any training in so far this week. I have walked around the campus a few times to try to get something in, although I haven't counted it toward my mileage. No situps or pushups either. Diet has been ok seeing that I really haven't had time to eat!

Now that I'm through venting... I thought I would share with you the list teams that my little team is going to be competing against during this competition. Here's a link if your interested:

Division I http://www.naqt.com/ict/2008/invitations-di.html
Division II http://www.naqt.com/ict/2008/invitations-dii.html

We are Copiah-Lincoln CC- Wesson under Division II. We all think that it's hillarious that a little hick community college is going to have to compete against Ivy League schools like Harvard and Princeton. We've all been practicing our "Haaavaad" accents, lol!

Oh by the way, Jeff from MO- If you see a bunch of redneck college kids stranded on the side of the road, it's probably us. Don't be afraid to stop by and say hello!

Don't for get to answer the Trivia Question. I'm going to be changing it when I get home Sunday night!

See you guys then!!!
