Fall break means many things to different people. The one main thing it means is the semester is halfway over. It means its time for midterms in some classes, midterm grades come out and you are either happy with them or realize you may need to step up your studying. For some, it means time to go home and see your family and spend time with friends you haven’t seen. However, for me, it means the last golf tournament of the season and a long weekend I get to spend with my family.

This year, fall break also meant time for a new routine. On top of fall break being our last golf tournament, it also means my roommate/best friend/teammate, Nikki, is leaving for Rome soon. Another group of students is leaving for the Rome Experience Study Abroad program this Saturday. I am so happy for her to be going on such a wonderful opportunity, but for me it means time to get settled down into staying on top of my schoolwork, working out, seeing other friends, and such. It’ll be strange at first having her leaving and having no golf practice, but I am sure I will be able to fill my time.

As for an update now on how the golf season ended….. We came in 2nd at Allegheny, last Thursday, and 2nd at Wittenberg, which was this last weekend. We have improved so much since last year that it is truly remarkable. Many of us dropped our averages by at least 5 strokes, and the team dropped its average by at least 20 if not more. Our spring season should definitely hold some more great golf and surprises!

Well, thats it for now. Keep warm!!!
