Ready, Set, Run!!!

Where to begin...School is crazy busy and it seems that when one thing get crossed off my mental and actual to do list, at least two more are added on! But that is life isn't it? Well as for my title, I will be running (hopefully :) ) a 5k with my friend Kellianne. We have both be trying to train in some sense, but it is harding than you think to find 30 minutes to go to the gym, workout with so much on your mind, then go home and shower and begin to climb Mt. Homework. And I really only like to workout in the evening because attempting to redo my hair halfway through the day seems like a waste. But evenings are when all the fun activities are! But life is life and I am trying my hardest to enjoy every minute of it because I will only have that day once. Today I was happy to see Canada Geese flying and honking! It amazes me how they know the formation to fly in, even though the ones I saw were slightly off. :) And yes, I learned today that they are not Canadian Geese but Canada Geese, not sure why but my friends were very insistent of this in our chemistry lab so I will accept it. I need sleep so toodaloo!

October

So a month has gone by of school already and I can't believe how much stuff I have to do! Things just keep adding on to my list and I have tried to promise myself that I wouldn't say yes to anything anybody wanted me to do....but, that hasn't been going to well :) But anyway, I am way excited for tomorrow because at 2pm, I am going to Empty Bowls! If you don't know what that is, basically artists from all over donate bowls they made and people can go in, pick out a sweet homemade bowl for only $10 and then you get a bowl of soup! The money goes to support food banks and food assistance. It is an awesome program and you should totally support it!!! So, my next goal is to train for the 5k that I am doing in November with my friend Kellianne. I keep thinking that if I force myself to run in an organized running program, then maybe I will grow to love running because that would be awesome!!! Alright, well over and out, gonna work on my to do list :)

Finally

Okay, so it has been so long since I have blogged but I have some new info to share with the few who read my blog. I get to go to Argentina and Antarctica next January for a study abroad! I get to tango and see penguins! I am also looking at new cameras, an canon slr to capturer my wild adventures :) Oh and since it is Father's Day I will shout out to my dad!

Italia...The Countdown has begun...

Well, it is Tuesday night and we are now T minus 5 days until I will be leaving for Italy! It has been difficult to squish a month's worth of stuff into one bag but hey, I am making it work. I am now going to make this blog into my Italy blog and will try to post new things about my trip a few times a week... depending on internet availability and time!

Ciao!

Guess Who...?

Do you want to know who has the greatest 22 year old sister ever??????? I am that's who! Not only is Gretchen an awesome role model and an inspiration to everyone she meets, but she sends the best packages one a month to her little sister in college even though she is soooo busy rockin the world! I don't know how she finds the time! I try and send stuff but never seem to find anything cool! How does she do it all! It just blows my mind and when I tell anyone about my older sister, she they are just kind of awed by all that she has done and is doing. So Gretchen, since you are mostly the only one who reads my blogs, This is totally a thank you for the package and you just being you!!!

Pacific Lutheran University!

Well, I have now been a Lute for about a week so far! I moved in last thursday with my roommate Kelsey and our room is pretty much the best on the hall even though we got jipped with one of the smallest rooms in Harstad! Here are a few pictures of my dorm room! I love it, it is awesome just chilling in the room, put-zing on homework and watching tv. 

Tuesday was awesome because I played in a pickup of Ultimate Frisbee!!! There were a bunch of guys and a few girls and we rotated in and out after a few points. All of them were really nice and taught me the rules of the game which isn't to complicated but there is a lot of running, which I haven't done since tennis last spring!

Classes are going pretty good, there is a lot of reading so far though. Religion, Ecology,and Women's and Genders Studies are going to be a bit of work but my National Parks class isn't going to be to hard because it is my freshman class and the teacher is pretty fun.

I am so excited for Italy, though of course kind of nervouse but since I haven't really traveled anywhere this will be my first real trip so it will be cool. Plus I don't really have to worry about food because I love pasta, bread, and pizza which Italy is in no shortage of! I am going to find out what the trip plan is today so I will deep you updated!

My On the Road trip last Saturday was great! We went Rockclimbing at Exit 38. Here are some more pics! I climbed a 5.10B Which is my personal best so far. There was another rock that I tried but I couldn't finish it because I was tired, it was the last one I tried, and because I don't have as much upper body strength as some of the other guys. So I banged up my knee with some bruises and scapes but it looks pretty cool!

So sorry about the pics not being in the right place, they won't go where I want them to!:(

Enjoy and there should be more to come if I find the time!

Italy!!!!

Guess who just got accepted to be in the PLU's J term travel abroad program to ITALY!!! Yeah you guessed it, Katie Robertson is going to Italy in January! How much fun, I am so excited! I guess I should take Italian fall semester so I can get around okay. Well I still have to do homework, but I just wanted everyone to know where I will be in January!
