Success!

What a great feeling! You know, when you were anticipating something, hoping it would go well, and then afterward you are happy, relieved, excited? Yeah, that feeling of accomplishment and success. That's what I'm feeling right now as I look back on what I've done this week:

Our Norse Relays that were supposed to be last Saturday got snowed out (flurries in April, can you believe it!?) so we turned Monday's practice into our own Norse Relays. So I did get to run the steeplechase and the weather was much nicer. I loved it! The water pit was pretty fun, especially once I got over the initial shock of how chilly the water was. I felt comfortable hurdling the other barriers, and didn't fall or clip them as I went over. Success! Now I'm excited to give it another try and see how I can improve.


This week was also the time to register for classes that we are going to be taking in the fall. It's amazing to me that we have less than a month left of school! This year just flew by. Anyways, I had all of my classes picked out ahead of time and there was really only one way that my schedule would work. So I had to get into specific time slots and certain labs, there weren't any alternatives. When I logged onto the computer, I saw that in the Human Physiology lecture only 3 spots were still available until the class was full, and only 1 spot available in the Human Physiology lab that I needed so my adrenaline was rushing. So at 7:28 Tuesday night I anxiously awaited for the minutes to tick by until 7:30 when I could push "submit" on the registering website. The thought kept crossing my mind, "what if someone else pushes submit 2 seconds before I do and gets those spots, then what am I supposed to do?" But thankfully, I got in. That was a big relief.

Next on my list of things to accomplish successfully is this biology test tomorrow, my 5k race tomorrow night at Augustana, and finalizing my rooming situation for next year. I can't wait to be able to check them off and know that I succeeded-doing the best that I could under the circumstances.
