gettin' started

i have a few exciting announcements to make.

1) we have our first ultimate frisbee tournament this saturday in albion, MI (eastern side of michigan). super excited for it!!! it has been so much fun, and i can't wait to see what this whole ultimate tournament scene has in store. hopefully cool t-shirts (cause y'all know that i love my event tshirts... but i hate when they're awful... *cough* anaheim tennis tourney *cough*). plus the following weekend (parents' weekend) we'll be having a game at home, however it won't be against hope anymore... we may play kalamazoo (which some people call k-zoo, but i don't think i could ever do that... it's too much fun saying "kalamazoo", and i still can't help but smile when i say it). so that's what's up on the ultimate front.

2) the tennis off-season is officially on. hee hee. anyway, right now it's two non-mandatory practices a week, and unfortunately i can only make one a week at this point due to ultimate. and nov 26 is when tryouts are. i am a bit nervous. the math scares me a bit... there are 16 trying out, 10 can make it, and 6, maybe 7, are returning. we'll see!

3) midterms are already next week!!! crazy... halfway through the first semester. so some hard core studying will be done... that's not all the hard core that'll be happening... that brings me to number 4...

4) i have a new hobby... one i have attempted at 2 or 3 times. it has finally stuck, and i am addicted.
knitting!
my suite mate knits, and so she casted on the yarn for a scarf, showed me how to knit, and i took of running. after one day of knitting, i had a 1 foot by 1.5 foot square of knitted material. i am going to make it in to a hat. how do i plan on making a hat out of a square... oh trust me, you'll see, and it's going to be AWESOME.
so then shiloh wanted to learn to knit, but i didn't know how to cast on, and my suite mate wasn't around. so i found a website and figured out how to cast on. for those of you who need a refresher or want to learn how to cast on, i highly recommend:
http://www.bloglander.com/knitting/article/how-to-cast-on
it's pretty good. i had to mess around and figure out a little bit, but the site does a good job for the most part.
so i am now becoming a knitting machine.

don't be surprised if y'all get scarves for the holidays... haha i'm just joking... you californians wouldn't need em' anyway :)

speaking of the weather... it was over 87 degrees today!!! shorts, tshirt, flip flops... feels good!
however... tomorrow is going to be 67 degrees. haha, how awesome is that! i love weather. and then the next day... 51 degrees. from then on, it's gonna hover in the 50s, and then after that...
SNOW!

well, tis all for now.
til we meet again.

:)
