"I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. "

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!

It's been quite some time since I last posted which I apologize for; I have been very busy trying to maintain A's in all my classes as well as go to swim practice and try to think about applying to grad schools in the summer.

Luckily, spring break came at just the right time! I got to go home for a week and see my family and spend some time with my friends from home. It was great to get away from all of this cold and snowy weather we had the past few weeks!

Right before spring break, we had "the heaviest snowfall in 10 years." About 11-12 inches of snow...school even got cancelled!!
*I took this around 10pm on Sunday night it read about 8inches!!!*

I drove home to some awesome weather, it was in the 70s the entire time I was home. Had a few days where it was cloudy but it was great anyway.
*My friends and I went to the creek side of Pawleys Island*


*My two friends Mary Ashley and Laura and I at the beach house*

It was a great break just to relax and have some fun with my friends and celebrate my dad's birthday. But now that I'm back at school, I have come to realize that from here until May I am going to be very busy every week. With the first half of the semester over, the exams and projects are going to be in full gear. I've also got three swim meets in the next three weeks. The first will be at UNC Chapel Hill, then Georgia Tech, then NCState. Hopefully I'll get some great pictures and keep everyone updated with them.

It's a stressful time but the sun is out and the snow is melting, which couldn't make me happier!


Until next time,

-Abbie
