Tests and more Tests! Stoked!

Hi All!

I write this in between procrastinating studying for all the tests that are coming my way. Great way to relax right? The team is preparing for the final few weeks of our year by trying to keep our stress down (insert extra gym time here =]) and forming study groups.

I have only one test this week but one on Tuesday next week, and fingers crossed, they will go

excellently. On the flip side SPRING IS HERE! The weather is getting warmer and the sun is coming our more often, which is wonderful for our pale little bodies. Campus is coming out of hibernation and students can be seen playing frisbee, softball and even sword fighting, though not with real swords.

Lessons are still continuing and the kids are improving, though who wouldn't with such wonderful coaches. They are almost over, two more weeks and then we are officially home free in terms of pool time, but we are all going through withdrawals as it is.

Our End of the Year banquet is this Sunday and then the Athletics banquet is the 27, where we get to mingle with all of the other athletes and see what everyone has accomplished throughout their seasons. We are almost as excited to dress up as we are to get our awards.

Alright all, Ive included some stress busting tips... here they are =]

1. Take deep breaths and think calming thoughts.

2. Listen to classical music (I prefer acoustic guitar).

3. Listen to your favorite music.

4. Exercise -- in our case practice is perfect for this!

5. Get a lot of sleep.

6. Hug someone!

Hugs (virtually, hopefully stress relieving.)
