Plans

On a more serious note, from the previous post, I have firmed up my summer plans. After getting some helpful advice from a couple other student athletes and discussing finances with my ever supportive parents, these are the plans I have decided on for the next several months. UVic Spring classes end April 1st, then exams are the following : April 8th- Chemistry, April 8th Philosophy, April 21st Physics. I will then enroll in summer classes from May through July. I will be in and out of Victoria throughout the summer, but luckily it just so happens I will be in town for all the summer exams. I have made the decision to NOT have a job during the summer. I will be applying for bursaries and student loans to help fund this. It was (and still is) slightly daunting to not work for a summer, but I figure short term loss for long term gain in finishing my degree faster... and then I can train and recover more and better!

So that’s it! The plan is pretty simple, not too different from what I have been up to the past 5 months; school and train. That’s all for now... except for this gem my mom sent me in a random email Sunday morning. I was the champ (well me and my dog) in the Ironman 5k fun run 1998 (?)
