Hello! Spring quarter is more than half way through and summer is looking nicer and nicer. I finished up my midterms on Wednesday. Chemistry is giving me a hard time this quarter, I didn't do well on our last test, but according to everyone I've talked to and our professor class gets considerably easier from here on out. Hopefully I can get my grade above the D+ (approximately) that it is right now. I believe I'm doing well in all my other classes, though I have no way of knowing for sure right now.
The rugby team voted on officers for next year, and I was nominated and voted in as fundraising officer. With judo, one of our team captains is spending a year abroad so I am now a team captain/ co-president. We don't really have an official name. Luckily, a lot of the responsibilities of both overlap, I have to go to the same meetings for both and they happen at the same time, so I just go in a dual capacity.
Last Saturday I participated in my first Judo tournament. It took place in Bellevue and was a lot of fun!! I lost all four matches, but I learned a lot and made a good showing especially considering I was the least experienced of the four of us in the division. This tournament is odd in the fact that it gives away two third places and because there was four of us I got a trophy! It only says "third place" so no one but me (and now you) knows that it was actually "second third place" and it was out of four. It loks prestigious: Third Place at the Seattle Dojo Tournament :)
I got an internship this summer! One of the members of the Club Judo team is an environmental science and oceanography professor so I asked him if he could ask around for a job and he offered me a place in his lab! I will be able to get internship credit, and all it takes is a little paperwork. I'll be living and working at WWU for the second half of the summer.
