Fall quarter is well under way and I'm really feeling it ever day... and I had no intention in making that rhyme. I think I can officially say that Organic Chemistry is running my life. I have yet to decide if that is a good thing or not. If anything I can honestly say that this year is at least five times more challenging academically. I'm actually happy about that. Last year I got bored with school a lot... this year there is no time to get bored. :)
Even with all my classes I have still found time to play soccer. Mostly when I get a forfeit while I'm reffing. I spend the hour playing instead of going home. Sorta neat to think that I'm essentially getting paid to play. This year I'm a "senior ref" because I have been there for a year. I still remember last year when the older refs would take all the good shifts because of seniority so naturally I have pulled that card with the freshmen a few times. One of the guys said he's going to keep tabs every time I call a "senior ref" forfeit. haha.
I tried out for the club soccer team this fall as a goal keeper. It was three days of intense soccer but I didn't make it. I wasn't that upset about it. The try-out kicked jumped
my need for some serious soccer time and the girls are all really nice so I have become a big fan. I have gone to several of their games. They are a great team and fun to watch! My friend from high school is on the team and I get to cheer her on for another four years.Over the last month I have made a big decision about next year. If all things go as I want them to, which does not happen as much as I would like, I will be studying at the University of Edinburgh all of next school year. A year in Scotland is exactly what I think I need. Actually I have no idea what I need but the idea of being in the UK for the premiership league play has me absolutely giddy over the prospects of studying abroad. Why Scotland you may ask? Well they have really amazing chemistry programs and I picked Edinburgh just because of that. Amazing chemistry.
That's really what's new right now. I'm sure in a months time or so I will have more to tell.
