New Semester

Hi All,

I started a new semester here at Penn State last Monday and am looking forward to a great few months! It was absolutely freezing in Happy Valley last week with the temperatures not making it out of single digits, but the cold did not seem to get to me as much as it got to my friends (I say it is all the skiing I do)!

This past weekend, I went back home to enjoy the three day weekend and go skiing. I had a really nice time and was able to work out some issues I had with getting off of C-Lift. The skiing was phenomenal, too, and we even got to go down the NASTAR race course a few times. The worst part about the weekend was the subzero temperatures (at one point it was -13)!

Our Wheelchair Basketball team is playing at halftime of this Thursday's Woman's Basketball game, so I am definately looking forward to that. We also are playing a double header on Saturday against the Allied Forces of Scranton - this will be our first game against a real Wheelchair Basketball team (not just the All Star team of Penn State coaches).

I am planning on heading home in two weeks to race in the Diana Golden Race at Windham Mountain on Sunday, February 1 (yes, that is Super Bowl Sunday)!

I will be sure to post sometime next week and let you know how the Wheelchair Basketball games go!
