You Know You're a College Student...

- When there's more than just school work to be responsible for. When you have a room, a job, a GPA to maintain.

- When you're walking around campus like a struggling puppy because you have a book bag, a bag full of groceries, and two packages to carry around.

- When you receive a tax refund form in the mail.

- When you're balancing three bowls, one plate, a bunch of utensils, dish detergent, a sponge, and a dry cloth down the hallway.

-When you're just dying to have a day where you can stay in bed and watch TV all day.

-When you're eating buffalo chicken wings from TGIF...
...literally thanking God it is Friday!!

Goalkeeper's Goal

Tim Howard, goalkeeper, scores for Everton!

In his post-interview he explains why he wasn't exactly thrilled by this accomplishment...
Interviewer: Is there any pleasure when a goalkeeper scores against another goalkeeper?
Howard: Not much, not much. It's hard, it's not a nice place to be... so it's embarrassing. I certainly felt for the boy, but you know, I was happy we were winning the game and I was kinda hoping it would stay that way but...
Interviewer: Has it happened to you before either way; have you ever been beaten by another goalkeeper?
Howard:Yea a long time ago and I remember the feeling. It's not nice, quite awful actually.

Talk about my favorite goalkeeper. Biggest fan right here.

it's that time of the year...

I'm not sure where to start...

Number one, I'm still processing that I've finished one semester of college. It doesn't seem like it's over already. Surreal. It just happened. I survived. I made myself proud. I grew and learned and matured. I did it!

Number two, Christmas is over. Every since I finished the semester on the thirteenth of December and flew down to Maine, time has gone by so fast. I've eaten to the brim, had a good portion of actually playing soccer, and squeezed out all creative juices. When I say that I mean...

this.

and that.

& these.

and village!

Yea, I'm pretty awesome. I know. :3

Number three, Christmas was amazing. Basically it consisted of eating. I am known around the Perreault's house as the one who eats like a football player so if that doesn't give you a good estimate of how much I eat, I don't know what will. There was a feast on Christmas eve and a feast on Christmas day.

Number four, I love these people who have made me feel like I belong. :)

Number five, how can you resist such a face like this?
