All we do is win

66

This week is feeling like one day should be two. On Tuesday, I kept thinking it was Wednesday, which really isn't convenient when none of your classes are the same on any one day.

Luckily my brain turned on at some point and I didn't miss anything - that was a close call. 

But my Tuesday made me so happy. A lot of good stuff went down, so I couldn't wipe that smile off my face even if I tried.

I'm actually starting to feel somewhat recovered after PDM, which most people say takes a week to recover from. Aside from a few sniffles here and there, I was feeling good.

During the day, this physical exhaustion finally leaving my body kept me going mentally too, so even though I just worked on an assignment all afternoon, I wasn't distracted or even groggy at any point, which I totally would have been if this was Monday we were talking about.

So I felt confident in handing in my paper for my music class, which, when we got there, we watched a very interesting movie on blues singers.

Then, as always, time for cycling! I had my workout gear on and ready to go, but I wasn't sure how good this class would be considering the weekend we went through. But, to my surprise, Mavis and I did so well! Our teacher definitely turned up the intensity on us, but we totally killed it. I don't even know why, but the classes are seeming shorter and shorter every time. 

The best part though, was I was never tired this entire class. Not to be confused with not working hard - no. I worked my body extremely hard. My legs throbbed and my lungs were desperately trying to keep up, and the boob sweat was so so real.

But I was never mentally tired. I wanted to keep going even. When the class ended, I thought, that's it? Is there a part two? 

I never thought to myself that the interval climb was too hard to do, or I can't make it through this next sprint. Like, I pretty much just silenced everything that could have stopped me from going, and I loved it.

Don't ask me how I got to this point, all I know is that I want to keep doing classes like these, even after graduation.

So I got home super proud of Mavis and I, and got ready to head out to the basketball game with Liz! Oakland Zoo here we come!

Liz and I got there right in time for the guys to let us in right away - there were literally like 20 people ahead of us in line. Definitely a slow game day.

But it was cool because we got front row in the Zoo! Our student section has an amazing rep, and I was happy to finally get to be a part of it. Thankfully, Liz knows all the traditions and helped me along the way of what to do and when.

After a while the seats started filling up, and after a bite to eat we were ready for game time. Beat Boston College!

I swear, there's gotta be invisible trampolines under these nets. 

Also, Roc paid us a little visit - er, serenade.

During the game, I caught on quick of when to cheer what, how to distract the other team, and that you cannot, I mean literally cannot sit down.

Which is good, because that got us on ESPN.

Oh heyyy!

Thanks to Matt, Liz's boyf for snapping this candid of us on the big screen. I'll be signing autographs all week ;)

Such an exciting game too! I mean, for someone who hasn't been to any Syracuse or Notre Dame games. But hey, I had a good time.

And we wonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!! 71-65

Couple close calls there, but we managed to stay ahead or tied the whole way through. Our boys were playing more than well, so we had a lot to cheer for!

So I'm so excited that I made it into the zoo! Hey, it may not have been the biggest game, but I did it. So it counts.

Thanks for reading! Sorry it's a long one. I'll try to keep the blogs easy and fun =)

Hail to Pitt!
