Lazy Sunday

I feel like without lazy Sunday's I would never make it through the week.  So I decided to make a blog on my life as a competitive ice dancer and a full-time college student.  Needless to say, my life is not normal at all.  Well no one's is.  I never realized how difficult it would be taking a full course load and training as a senior athlete, while trying to stay slightly sane.  I am a junior at the University of Delaware.  Until just recently I was a biology major with dreams of becoming a pediatric surgeon, a gynecologist, a pediatrician, a dentist, and now I am aspiring to be a lawyer.  Life is funny right?  Every step I took down my figurative success ladder of prospective careers; I asked myself if skating was the reason.  I think that is one of those questions that will never truly have an answer.  I don't live a normal college life at all, which I am content with.  I don't go out and party like everyone else.  I don't go to my 8 am genetics class hungover, telling my friend about my one-night stand and how many shots of jose I did .  I wake up every morning, eat my oatmeal, make some coffee, go to class, go to the rink for 4-5 hours, go to class again, study, and then go to sleep.  So why the change to law?  I think I can honestly say I got lost in the dilemma of an appreciation or respect for a scientific career rather than a passion for it.  I myself have had two major surgeries in my life, and I owe my life to two pediatric surgeons.  Of course, my heart goes out to them and I could never thank them enough.  Everyone told me if you want something bad enough, you can make it happen.  Quote to live by.  I love science and respect it, but it's just not for me.  So now I am a Political Science major, hopefully specializing in foreign affairs.  I am interested in patent law...put all that science to some good use ;)
So on the skating side, my partner and I have a little over a week of skating left before we depart for U.S. Nationals in Greensboro, NC.  I'm so excited.  Truth: It's my first Nationals so I am nervous and excited.  Anxious is a better word.  We're competing senior ice dance.  So I'll certainly write all about it.  It should be exciting. I just have to survive one more week of training...I'm like ready to leave..now! haha.  So life is crazy right now.  Rescheduling classes for a new major in the spring, training and Nationals, and on top of that I am moving into a new apartment right after I get back from nationals...a few days before school starts.  So all I can say to life right now is...bring it. :)
