Wow, finally a second to breathe after all of this excitement! We won both games this weekend. This puts us in a great position for our conference rankings. The information on the horizon League page isn't updated yet, but I want to say these two wins puts us in 5th place! Friday's game was a really big deal because it was out "volley for the cure game." It's a game that we use to raise *** cancer awareness.

This is a really special cause to me because one of my volleyball coaches in high school is a survivor of *** cancer. During the month of October I really think about her. It's a big deal for the team also because one of our recent alumna's mom is a survivor as well. She's actually the mom of the player who sent me close after Hurricane Katrina happened. Her and her daughter have always been part of my support system here at Butler, and I've always been really grateful for them being here for me. The feminist group on campus D.E.M.I.A even decorated Hinkle in pink awareness decor.

The night was even better after we beat UIC in 3 games, and after we beat Loyola today this weekend could really one get better if my projects would disappear! Oh....that reminds me I better try to finish up my accounting project due next week. I need to finish up a group project for my Electronic Journalism class. We need to cut some tape together in the edit bays in Fairbanks tomorrow. I better finish up this script so we can match it with the scenes we want.

Don't forget we can support the fight against *** cancer all year long by going to The *** Cancer Site. The sites very useful in helping other important charities that need your support as well. Happy clicking, and hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

This week was really crazy! It's kind of funny to me how the only schools that we fly to in the Horizon League are UIC and Loyola in Chicago. It's actually cheaper to fly there than to rent a bus, and I can't stop laughing at that. Well this year we had to play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and then we're playing against Wright State on Saturday. It was exciting but a little hectic at same time.

We left after practice Monday night for Chicago. It was an amazing feeling when we beat one of our biggest rivals in the conference, Loyola! It was a really energetic game for us and I was happy that our preparation payed off with a victory. Wednesday's game against University of Chicago was just as intense, but we didn't execute a victory. We're just concentrating on the good right now, and getting ready to beat Wright State on Saturday!

We're 6th in the conference right now, but this win on Saturday can really move us up in the ranking. Well, I just finished proofing an article I might submit to The Collegian and pretty worn out from the past few days. I better get my rest in because I'll need it for practice tomorrow.

GO DAWGS!! BARK BARK!!
