It is amazing how quickly time has been passing. It comes as a double edged sword sometimes because I don't know what I am doing after college, but I live for time off to explore and spend time with loved ones. Oh well, I still have time to freak out, I am just going to enjoy time as it comes and goes.

This past weekend was the College Bowl regionals in Jacksonville. Our team came in tied for fourth place, but we were edged out of the finals slightly by 10 points. But, the great thing about the weekend was everyone had a great time. The people on the team are amazing, and I am so glad I was able to spend a weekend together doing something we love and having an amazing time. Here is a picture of the team in front of the Jacksonville fountain:

Today, I participated in an event sponsored by Saint Leo called X-Treme Air. Oh man it was amazing! The event was a wind tunnel that pumped out 120 mph winds that made you feel like you were sky diving. Even though it only lasted about a minute, it was awesome. Now, I don't have to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!!!!

Now, I am looking forward to a very relaxing spring break. Well, I guess not too relaxing because I know I will have a paper to work on. Oh well- at least I can sleep in!!

Until next time,
Colleen

So, February has been a blur. Formal recruitment went well, and Tri Sigma welcomed in a new sister. Class work has been alright, but there are some times I just want to scream! I am sure others will agree! I am getting very excited for the Quiz Bowl competition up in Jacksonville Feb. 22-24. This is my favorite extracurricular here at Saint Leo. I have always loved trivia, and this is the place to let everything out! We had a blast last year, and it can only get better.

Currently, I am looking for an internship for the Fall of '09. Before, I thought I wanted to be a high school English teacher and possibly move up to professor, but after a rude awakening I realized teaching is not for me. Now, I am thinking about being an editor of some sort. But, we'll see where the future takes me.

For Valentine's day, Josh bought me a Sweeney Todd soundtrack (I loved the movie!), and I got him a Batman comic book he had his eye on. We are not too big on Valentine's day, but we always get each other a little gift, candy, or flowers.

Well, now I am just researching for a paper that is not due until April. I figure if I start now, I won't procrastinate too much. Maybe I can try tomorrow =) ha ha.
