Ducks

Today I got out of class early. That means I was done with classes by 9:00 AM. Thursdays are definitely my favorite for that reason. So I came back to my dorm and did some required reading lying in my bed and eventually ended up taking an hour long nap until my alarm went off playing "Wonderful Cross" which I've set as an attempt to give me a reason not to hit snooze in the morning. I did some more homework then went and grabbed a smoothie with Sarah and watched her carry a huge care package all the way back to her room. Her mom basically sent her a box full of cans. hahaha. So then I made some microwave pasta and finished up a bit more homework. Then came the fun part of my day. I grabbed the ends (and one good piece) of my new loaf of bread and headed over to Lake Mary Nell again. I wrote Michaela a letter (which I know I'm going to forget to mail for a couple days) and just sat on one of the swings for awhile. Finally I decided to pull out the bread and wake up the ducks who had been sleeping under one of the trees. I easily lured them back to the swing. They were so excited I almost stepped on a couple of them. They still make me laugh at how excited and friendly they are. They were very curious about my camera too. A couple even bit it trying to figure out what it was. I kind of got stuck behind my camera for a few minutes and when I finally looked up I realized one of the swans had come over to check things out. That's the closest I'd ever seen any of the swans to a human before. It was pretty cool. He wasn't even excited about the bread, he just wanted to check things out. So I spent WAY too much time playing with these ducks and taking pictures of them. But it was definitely worth it. After that I had practice which was really frustrating because we still haven't gotten lib down. It's mostly my fault, so it's extra frustrating. We should definitely be able to hit it. Oh I should probably explain that I'm a cheerleader on the coed team at Elon University for all of you who don't know me too well.  I'm a new flyer though -- I was always a base. Anyway, we should totally be able to hit lib by now. Matt's strong enough and I've done them with Hampton before.  Hopefully we'll get it soon though.

I have so many of these pictures, but I won't bore you guys right now.
