What I'm Looking Forward To in the Next Week

1. Getting my nails done for the first time in MONTHS after Finance class (thanks Groupon!), Shellac is the ish. I will post pics when when they're all purtied up.
2. Bikram Yoga on Friday afternoon, Saturday morning, Sunday morning... so nice when there's no school to get in the way of working out.
3. Football game vs. USC this weekend. Not only will it be a great game and AWESOME if the Ducks win, but there are some big tailgates going on and let's face it that's really what college football is all about right? lol Hoping to do some work in the kitchen Friday night and have some tasty-ness to contribute.
4. Being done with our Marketing/Management paper for Ninkasi, and then enjoying some Ninkasi.
5. Being done with Accounting Rite-Aid case.
6. Getting my hair cut for the first time in almost a year (nothing crazy, just cleaning up the ends and layers)
7. Spending time in Portland with my family and DJ's family for Thanksgiving, eating lots of tasty food!

Home Stretch

Midterms went much better than expected. So glad that they did because I was stressing and I studied really hard! I actually got the highest score in my class on my management midterm, 51/50 woot! I got an almost perfect score on Accounting (yea, I was surprised too) I only missed 1 multiple choice question. Marketing got an A. And surprisingly in Finance I got an 83%, that was the hardest test and my worst subject.

Things are really ramping up for the end of the term, we are in week 8 of a 10 week term plus finals. Week 9 is pretty much non-existent because of Thanksgiving break, no class Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I hope our professors give us practice problems or study guides before the break so that I can start gearing up for finals. We have a HUGE paper due for our Ninkasi project Monday and our group is no where near finished... then we have to be prepared to present on the 30th, yikes! Gonna be focused on that for a while.

I got the opportunity to cheer again at an Oregon game during homecoming week. I was surprised that I could still do all the stunts! Me and Amanda practiced the dances ahead of time and it was a great refresher. It was so fun to be back out there again and shakin it! Needless to say I went a little hard and couldn't walk the next day lol guess I'm not as young as I used to be. All the soreness and torn rib muscles were totally worth it, so great to see old friends and be back out on the field. Wouldn't trade it for the world :)

With my former rookie buddy Amanda Pflugrad. The only 2 stunters from tryouts 2006 that made it through tryouts 2007. So many good memories practicing dances and learning all the ins and outs of Oregon Cheerleading together.

My new biggest fan DJ. I think he was impressed!

With my dad, always supportive!

Former stunt partner Nick Brown, he saved my life many times. Lots of good memories traveling together.

Stunt partners for the day, we did very well for the first time meeting each other.

Action shot taken by one of my MBA classmates, love the big hair.

Ok and now back to the reality of the paper due in 6 days... ughhhh.
