Sara mae and I a few nights ago....bored. Yup I have a beanie on. It gets cold in our apt!! Actually that was the night before classes started...yeah didnt go to bed too early! The other pic is of kylie, calie, and me. So far everything is going good...Steph stayed last night, but nowhere to be seen tonight. I studied my German tonight.....its pretty interesting, but I think I will like it better than Spanish. But my class are sooooooo boring!!! I have German, finance, and some other class..I dunno. Lets see what else...tomorrow I'm going to talk to someone on campus about John and all that jazz. So I hope it all goes well. Mmk..I'm going to bed!!! Talk to you all later!!!!!! :)

The first of the last

Sooo...today is the first day of school. I'm really not sure how I feel about all of this. I am excited that this is it...that I will be done with school for awhile and finally have a degree. But, I have no idea what I want to do when I'm done!! AHHH!!! It's a scary feeling, no doubt! The good thing is, is that my first and only class for MWF is at 1...yeah I'm cool like that! But its German so its going to kick my butt! Anyways, everyone is all moved in, but has Steph stayed here yet....no...she hasn't. Whatever....I don't care anymore. Calie and I watched United 93 last night. She hadn't seen it yet...such a good movie. So sad, but never should be forgotten. I think that a lot of Americans have forgotten about that gloomy day. The minute we forget is the minute its going to happen again. I can't believe its going on 6 years..crazy!

I have some errands I have to run this morning. I have to print off my internship papers and hand them in!!! YAY!! Then I have to take these paper things to the accounting office for Jon (head soccer coach). And then I have to talk to Bruce, who is the assistant athletic director...I want to see if theres anything I can do in the mornings on MWF because as much as I would love to sleep all day till class......I shouldn't.

Today at practice us coaches are going over who is on varsity and jv. I asked Jon if I can put upperclassmen on my list and he said yes. So there are two girls that are seniors that made my list...that have played varsity all 4 years, but surely don't deserve it....so we will see how that goes today. I'll let you know! But I'm super excited to get my team and get started!!! We will be doing a lot of 2nd grader drills! Drills that I'm sure Miss Annabelle is doing at her practices!! Alright I have to call Jon back...he called when I was sleeping...HELLO!!! I do more than his assistant...no really I do! Okay have a good Monday!!!

Love
Abbie

6am...

Okay....5:20 just comes way too early in the morning for a 6am practice!! We had to practice in the gym because it has been raining so much, and there isn't a place to practice outside that we won't tear up. The girls got lots of conditioning in today...which is always good. We did circuits..mine wasn't too bad. They had to do some sprints on the track...but I let them rest and stretch plenty. I know how they are feeling right now..sore and just can't do much. Not a fun feeling at all!! Well Calie moves in today....actually she should be here in about 45 minutes!! I'm pretty excited!! Our R.A. gave us these signs that say "St. Ambrose University" on them...all the dorms got them. But anyway we are suppose to hang them up in our windows......nah I just put all 6 on her door last night. I thought it was a good welcome gesture and I was extremely bored!! I know she'll get a kick out of it...and I even drew a lil picture....however I'm not artsy like Tracy. So who else watched David Beckam play last night??? He's DAMN cute!! The women's national team will be playing in the World Cup in China...that starts in about 3 weeks. They are such an amazing team!! A group of women that people and young girls can look up to. Okay, I think I need to take a nap.....I have to get ready to direct traffic in this rain that's going on outside! What a horrible day to move in! Talk to you guys soon!! Here's a picture of Calie's door.

Team dinner....the newbies! Kate G, me, and Kait H...cute pic!

So close.....

Well the girls did much better than I anticapted! They played much much better than on Tuesday. We only lost 1-0 against a team that is normally very good. Loras was good, but they were much better and more physical last year! So I think

the girls were pleased with their performance overall. They are something else tho...always make you laugh. However, tomorrow they are not too thrilled about helping other students move in tom during their break between practices. Yup...thats right they have to help lil freshman and transfers move in...but who helped the girls move in?? Ahh, anyways...I will be helping too. But I am hoping that I will just be directing traffic in some chair with some nice cold water! :) That would be great!

I'm not sure what I am going to do the rest of the day. I do need to do laundry and my floor is soooo grassy from practice!! So I will probably get to that sometime. I really needed to get all of my internship stuff in. About the apple Tracy...hmmm...I just don't really like'em. But I will be eating the cafe food...and that always helps!! HAHA!! Alright I think I'm going to lay down for a bit and then getting going on my stuff. Enjoy the pics from our lovely Ambrose soccer team!! They are a bunch of hams!!

Just another Thursday

I'm glad everyone got a kick out of my "damn" statement! HAHA! Today we scrimmage Loras...they are out of Dubuque, IA (did I spell that right???). Anyways, they are very good, and well we are very sore and not in the best shape. So pretty much today is going to suck....but I'm gonna act like nothing's wrong and hopefully they will carry that attitude too! It's good to see that Karyn is back.... :) Last night we had a team dinner...and that was amazing cause it was pasta and it was FREE!!! I love free food...well free anything!!! But the best part was the newbies had to do a skit of the team....they did pretty good...but I've seen better! Alright I have to eat some raisin bran because we all know that I have difficulties....so yeah.... Then I'm off to the field.....hopefully its not tooo bad this morning!! Glad I'm not playing!!!!!! Okay later gators!

P.S.
The pic is of me, Steph, and Sara Mae....they will be moving in Saturday!!! Can't wait!!

Here's Paul!!!....

Haha..I thought you guys would get a kick out of my link. It was really the only thing that came to mind. So....of course I had to do this because...well everyone else in the family has one!!! However mine will just be about soccer and how my girls are probably driving me crazy...but I hope they won't! Anyways, we didn't have our morning practice for two a days...which was soooo awesome! I might not be playing...but I'm still tired! The girls really really needed some time to rest. Their legs are very sore and they had a 3 hour scrimmage yesterday. So yeah! Hmmm...what else to write about. I don't have to clean Kate's room cause Tracy already took care of that. And I'm not sure if Karyn still exists...and Jayne is surely taking over Ebay. Hahahaha! I'm funny I know! Okay, I have to get some stuff for school...and then 3pm practice. So have a great day...stay cool...drink lots of water....do your damn yoga.....and smile! :) Yes mom...I said damn!
