I can't believe how quickly the last week has gone! I always look forward to starting school because it puts me back into a good routine. Even though homework and tests are not always so fun, it keeps me busy and on a set schedule. I am enjoying my classes so far, but I know it will become stressful. The courses I am taking this semester are Human Communication Disorders, Language Acquisition, Transcription phonetics, Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing, and Developmental Psychology. So basically a lot of CSD (Communciaton Sciences and Disorders) classes! Because of the fact that I just changed my major from Pre-Physical Therapy to Pre-Speech Pathology last semester, I am a little behind but should be able to squeeze all the necessary classes in to graduate on time!


My soccer team played two games this past week, in which we went 1-1. Those games were only exhibition games so they don't count in our conference record. Our first season game is this Friday night at 7 pm vs Emporia St. I am so excited because my niece, who is 5 months old, is coming down for the game and I can't wait to see her! I spent all summer with her and it is so hard being away. So she will be there cheering us on if she can stay awake that late!


Other than that, the weekend went by pretty quickly. I feel like that is always the case though! On Friday night, we went out to dinner at Baja 600 for my roommate Amanda's birthday. That restaurant has such a fun atmosphere and great food as well!

Have a great rest of the week!

Getting Settled In!

Hello,

My name is Abby and I am a new blogger this year! I am so excited to get my blogs up and running. I have been so busy this first week and a half of school, with getting settled into my new townhouse, having soccer practice, and starting school. But finally things are coming together and I feel a little more at ease. My roommate Lauren and I were the first ones out of 6 girls to move in to our townhouse here on campus. We are both on the soccer team and had 2-3 practices a day for the first week! We have a big game tomorrow night against UMKC here at Rockhurst at 7 pm. Everyone should come if they can :)
You can view our schedule here www.rockhurst.edu/ru_athletics/w_varsity/soccer/schedule/2009schedule.asp

My classes have been off to a great start as well. Last semester I switched majors from Pre-Physical Therapy to Pre-Speech Pathology. I am so happy with my decision and can already tell I am going to enjoy my classes this semester. I am taking 18 credit hours this semester, which is the most I have taken so far. But I am excited that I am finally getting into the classes pertaining to my major! I can tell it is going to be a busy semester already! I am sure you all will be hearing more about it.

Until next time,
-Abby
