Update

I went home to phoenix last week to visit my family and friends. My dad plays Ultimate Frisbee and has been dying to get me to start playing. My mom used to play and she was amazing. She won a lot of titles including a national championship title. She stopped playing after she had my brother and me. My dad still plays and never ceases to amaze me at his skill. 50 years old and still going strong. He throws incredibly well and has amazing disc talent. I was glad I was able to see him play at New Year's Fest in Phoenix and wish I had stayed for the finals since his team went undefeated and won!

I got back to Tucson, and emailed one of the coaches of the U of A woman's team. She has played ultimate for a while with my dad and was happy to hear I was interested in playing with the team. Hopefully I start playing soon. I know my parents will be pretty psyched to hear that I finally gave in and decided to play Ultimate Frisbee. Plus I forgot how many hot guys there are playing Ultimate Frisbee!

Any ways, here is a bit of an update for what I have been doing. I am currently studying my ass off for two major exams next week (Organic Chemistry and Genetics) so if my mother is reading this she should know that am not procrastinating by writing this post. Ochem lab is alright pretty boring just working on the building of benzene rings by nitration and oxidation. Plus I learned how to perform a benzene reaction that ends with it being Tylenol!! My classics classes are really fun and not so hard so its a great break from science. Since I got bull horns on my road bike I have been riding a lot more and I hope someday I could compete in a triathlon or maybe just ride around for fun. I am starting a running program to train for a 10K and then a half marathon in the fall (at least that's my goal).

I am an officer for one of the clubs on campus called the Cardiovascular Outreach Organization and am working with my friend and fellow officer Jamie, in hopes of coming up with a system and trying it out on elementary school kids to teach them how to be more heart healthy. Also through the club I do lots of volunteer at the Sarvar Heart Center at the UMC, and hopefully will be shadowing a Cardiothoracic Surgeon with in the next couple of weeks. My goal is still go to Medical School and I think with all the work I am doing I will definitely be able to tell if that's what I want to do with my life.

My night will consist of watching lots of TV and finishing up my Diels-Alder Reaction Lab report which I am dreading.
