It's that time of year again. The weather is starting to get a little warmer (well it's supposed to be; today we had snow flurries!), classes are beginning to wind down a bit, and my brain is starting to revolt against anything academic-related. The past few days have been a struggle for me to sit down and do homework. Despite having spring break a week ago which should have recharged my tired brain cells, I find myself with little motivation to do school work. It's that time of year when the bigger projects get assigned and tests are popping up all over the place. If I just had a couple little assignments to do I wouldn't have a problem getting them done. But since it's tests and group projects that I'm dealing with, I really dread the idea of sitting down for a few hours and studying. I long to be free to run around, hang out with friends, and have fun without knowing in the back of my head that I should be studying!
Speaking of running around, yesterday we had our first outdoor track meet of the season. We ventured 3.5 hours away to Central College where 18 men's teams and 15 women's teams participated in the meet. It was my first time actually racing the steeplechase at a meet and it was awesome! Thankfully we raced before noon when the sun was shining, it was a perfect 53 degrees, and the wind wasn't too strong. Splashing around in the water pit each lap didn't even feel cold; in fact I would say that I actually looked forward to the water pit! After the Luther women finished 1st, 5th, 6th, and 7th in that race, we had the rest of the day to cheer on our teammates and enjoy the sunshine. Many of us returned with very rosy, slightly sun burnt faces. What a great day to be outside and enjoy spring.
