The school year is rapidly coming to a close. With only a couple weeks left of classes the professors are laying off some of the homework as we begin to prepare for our finals. Avila is also trying to do activities that will ease some of our stress. Last night there was a late night breakfast in the dining hall with games, make your own stress balls, and lots of great food. Friday night, Avila hosted a karaoke night in Marian Lounge. Lots of my friends participated, but let me tell you, they are not music majors, for good reason.

Spring football is over now, meaning no more six thirty a.m. weights! Each football player will get a copy of the workout he wants us to do for the summer, including lifting and running. All of the football players are excited about not having to get up early, however we haven't really been able to do much outside, because the weather has been very rainy. However, we found a way to make the rain fun. About twenty of my friends found a muddy hill to play on. We would get a running head start and dive and/or slide down it. When we went back to our residence halls we had difficulty keeping the mud out of the rooms! It was a lot of fun, especially since most of us will be parting ways for the summer.

It will be sad not to see my friends for most of the summer as I have gotten so used to seeing them every day. I am sure summer will fly by and we will all be back on campus before I know it. I have got to get going as there are free massages again today and student life is giving out free Royals tickets!

Have a great summer!
