The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hi everyone! Hope you girls are doing great and school is treating you well so far! I gave an interesting title to my post because I have 2 weeks until my CAA Conference Championship meet, the meet I've been training for ALL year! We just started this thing called "tapering" which is one of the most crucial things in the whole season. This is when we take off a lot of work load and now we only swim 3-4000 yards a practice instead of 6000. BIG difference, trust me. We love this time and we're all getting super excited for the meet itself. But enough swimming for now. School has been pretty difficult, I'm about to take my first German exam in an hour and I'm ready! I still have a lot of work to do for all of my classes, but so far I have been able to manage it all (knock on wood). I believe the second part of the semester (after spring break) will be a lot different as I have to go to companies to interview them (yes, I'm doing the interview with them). As of now, I'm still doing my breathing meditations a couple times a week before I go to bed and I do find them helpful. It lets me relax and reflect on myself for a few minutes, and then I'm ready to go to bed. I wish I randomly ran into you guys on campus, but I guess we have different schedules. Keep up the good work, and it will be spring break before you know it!
