Studying Habits

Okay so finals are right around the corner and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for good studying strategies???

Thanksgiving Break

So I'm sitting in my dorm right now and I'm pretty sure I am the ONLY person in my hallway right now! Everyone has gone home for Thanksgiving! I couldn't go home because I have my last volleyball game tomorrow and my parents think it would be pointless for me to fly home for a couple of days and then fly me back home again just a weeks later for Christmas break. So instead of going home I will be going with A.J., one of my teammates to her house in Richmond for Thanksgiving. A.J.'s mom was nice enough to have me and a few of my other teammates who aren't going home over to share Thanksgiving with them. Also it's weird thinking about how tomorrow is my last game of the season! I can't wait to dominate Virginia Tech!

Last Game of the Season

On Wednesday it is the last game of the season. So after that I can say I survived my freshman year of college volleyball! It has been a great experience and I can't wait for my next three seasons to come. For the fourth years on the team, it will be the last volleyball match of their career. We will be playing Virginia Tech at Tech on their senior night so it will be a great match. I know that all of us including the fourth years will be playing our hearts out because we would like to end the season with a win. I hope we play our hardest and make the best of the rest of our season!

On the Road

We leave early tomorrow morning for two of our last away games this season. We are first going to Georgia to play Georgia Tech and then South Carolina to play Clemson. The bus ride to Georgia will be about 8 and a half hours! So we will be spending lots of quality time together! It will give me a chance to catch up on a lot of homework as well. Hopefully we come home with two more wins this weekend! Go Hoos!

Game tonight

Tonight we play Wake Forest at home at 7pm so be there if you can! It's a really big match because right now there is a three way tie in our conference and if we win we will move up in places. I know we are fully prepared because we have prepped all week for the games this weekend! I'm really excited and can't wait to get another win tonight! GO HOOS!

Last Home Games This Weekend.

This weekend will be our last home games for the season. Saturday night is our senior night and that is the last time our seniors will play at home. Thinking about that really makes me realize that these four years of college athletics fly by quickly and you should really treasure every moment. Sure there are days when you may not want to go to practice or things just aren't going right but think about all the great memories and experiences that you will take away from it when it's all said and done. Getting to play a college sport is something that not everyone gets to do so I am going to make sure that I make the best of it and enjoy the experience. That's all I have to say about that! And come to our senior night game on Saturday at 7pm!

Teammates

Some days I don't know what I would do without my teammates! They are my second family; I'm with them everyday and I love it. Yea we get on each other's nerves every once in a while but at the end of the day they are always there for you. Coming to a school so far away from home was a bit scary for me at first because I literally didn't know anyone except for my teammates and coaches. And even then I didn't know my teammates all that well yet. But right from the beginning they were very welcoming and I am very grateful that the upperclassmen have taken us first years under their wing. It's nice to have people that you can go to for advice or help on anything you need. It has definitely made the transition from being so far away from home a lot easier.

Halloween!

This weekend we had two home matches. We played Friday night and had a tough loss against FSU. Then we had practice saturday and went to the football game. Then on Sunday we played Miami and won in 5 games! It was a great win for us this weekend! Now I have a full week of homework ahead of me and we leave for North Carolina this weekend to play NC State and UNC.
