Craziest week so far this year, but I'm still alive! Quick rundown:
Home rifle match versus OSU last Saturday. (All the schools we shoot against are D1, because the NCAA hates us.) Did really well personally; brought my small bore standing (worst position) up to the 90s from the 60s, which was awesome, and matched the scoring team's scores for air rifle. Of course, one of the OSU girls is currently third in line for the Olympic team, so. At least it went better than we expected!
Was also the range officer at 7:30am, so I had a full twelve-hour day at the range. I jokingly complained about it to my coach, and he told me he wanted me to RO now so he has the option of putting me on the scoring team for air rifle when matches resume in January. WTF SERIOUSLY. My coach told me this in earshot of the senior I would be replacing, though, so he's going to step it up. We'll see how this plays out; the competition should definitely be fun. :)
And then FINALS FINAL FINALS Monday Tuesday Wednesday. I survived my first quarter at Rose, although we'll see if I need to retake calculus III next quarter to grade-replace and save my GPA. UGH DNW. It's ironic that I'm doing so terribly in math at an engineering school.
My flight home to DC doesn't leave until Saturday, so now I'm staying in Indianapolis with a friend. I have a non-twin-sized bed and homemade dinner and absolutely no work to do for another full week. Life is good. Now to actually sleep.
