Simple Update

Well, my mom complained that I didn't write enough, so I thought I'd give a simple update. I'm actually in the library right now, finally about to go back to the dorm. I've been here for several hours, and can't say that I accomplished too terribly much.
Don't get me wrong, I did some reading, but nothing extravagant.
For those who didn't know, I'm trying out for crew, which is rowing. Yes me, Meredith Armstrong, is trying out for an NCAA sport that she has never even attempted before. I had orientation a few days ago. I went in jeans, a cute tank top, and flip-flops. I hadn't had a chance to change out of those clothes. Well, little to my knowledge, orientation was a mini-workout. So, there I was working out in those clothes. It was a sight to see.
Yesterday was the first official day, and I couldn't even go. I had a class during the workout times, so the coach emailed me an alternate workout. Funnnnn! Not!
So today was MY first official day of tryouts. I showed up, appropriately clothed this time, scared as can be. I was so worried about my physical condition that I felt sick to my stomach. I won't go into the details, but it wasn't too bad (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are the main conditioning days...today is Thursday). I'm sure that tomorrow will be a little more difficult, but I'm actually ready for the challenge.
Pretty excited. I think this will get me into the habbit of working out on a regular basis whether I make the team or not.

OK, well, it's getting late, and I still haven't even showered. Gross, I know.
I'm heading back to the dorm now!
