Hey guys! Its been two weeks since I left to start my college life. Since then, I have trained every day and I even ran my first college cross country meet (which, in all honesty, wasnt so great; but hey - Im not there yet). Its been tough getting used to the miles and the intensity; I feel challenged yet satisfied. Although I havent made any noticeable progress, Im feeling more confident about my running. Life at Redlands is very different than life back home. I have to motivate myself to attend orientation events and practices. My schedule was my only reminder. Ive met a variety of people - I know somebody from Massachusetts, Nevada, and Oregon. People Ive never met before start conversations with me simply by passing by. The environment here is always full of motion and noise. Its gonna take a while to get used to all of it, but Im working on it. In terms of classes, I got everything I wanted. In addition to French 1, Calculus III, and Computer Science, I have a First Year Seminar, which is basically an introductory course to the university (with a specific flavor). My First Year Seminar is based on Authentic Leadership, which basically goes over what it means to be a leader and how to step up when one is needed. The professor is really nice (she bought us pizza!) and Im looking forward to starting class tomorrow. Anyways, Ive rambled enough about myself. My point is that the student-athlete life is a busy one. I hope everyone is having a great school year so far! Remember to work hard, get sleep, and fight procrastination! Feel free to message me through Facebook if you need anything. Also, here are some bonus pics from the meet. Enjoy my suffering!!!
