I am so Not feeling Global Warming Right Now!

I was so excited about getting to go back home for break. You know the usual is always great seeing my family, friends, and most importantly the 80 degree temperatures! Unfortunately only two out of three of those were very consistent this Thanksgiving break. It was warm for two days, and then it was cold. Maybe not Indianapolis cold but 59 degrees on Thanksgiving is cold on the Gulf Coast!

Other than the weather, it was great to be home and see my family and friends! Thanksgiving really spoiled me for my dad's home cooking. It's just not the same eating at Atherton these past few days. Good thing I have training to keep me focused for these next few weeks. Just because season is over doesn't mean that it's over for us. It just means we don't get to play volleyball that much, now we get to run, lift, run, jump train, and oh did I mention run? Ha ha ha

Oh well, like I said, it keeps me focused. After this week I can work out on my own until January so that will be nice. Our team, both tennis, and golf teams have teamed up to adopt a family for Christmas this year. It's one of the big community service projects the whole athletic department does. We're supposed to go shopping for the family next week so that should be exciting! Service is a big part of the values Butler stands for. What are some community service projects ya'll do?

Go Dawgs!! Bark!! Bark!!

Well with the semester and volleyball season coming to a close end I've been finding myself a bit more stressed than the norm. I remembered last semester's stress week events that the health and counseling center put on. One of their tips to keep stress from building up is to find a hobby for enjoyment that you can do often. That gave me an idea to find a new love in my life.

Now there will always be a place in my heart for the usually, family, God, friends, and of course volleyball. Recently I've decided to take my love of music a little deeper. I've decided that I'm going to learn how to play the guitar and the piano. I know that sounds a little ambitious, but I think it will be fun to have something to work on in my free time. I'm permanently attached to my headphones, and always have a good song stuck in my head it makes perfect sense.

I got it at the guitar center for a pretty decent price and then I went over to Seitu's room so he could tune it for me. He might have written something about it on his blog. You should go check it out. He's always up to something crazy and always tells me about how he likes blogging all of his adventures.

Great ideas like this one make me want to reward myself. I think I'll go and get a chai tea egg nog latte from Starbucks. I'll make sure to keep everyone posted on my musical progress. I mean it shouldn't be too hard. There is a reason my name is Melody!! lol

Go DAWGS!! BARK BARK!!
