Autumn Antics

My competition took place last weekend in Peoria and I receieved first place.  It is my first gold meddle.  It looks different too because it was an artistic program and not a freeskate, so the meddle isn't the traditional round shape.  It's their own design.  I like it....

Academic Update

Remember how I said that I would email thousands of people if I wasn't about to graduate next semester?  Well, that is exactly what I did and I have discovered that every student at ASU will at one point or another face the same exact problem.  I have never heard of this happening to any...

SHOPPING!!
