So I'm sitting in Panera Bread, the only cafe I really like here, and while waiting for photos and videos to load I shall expand on my American adventure!!!

It's Sunday at the moment, and I'm preparing for week three of College. I've been studying hard today, trying to get half of my 10 page paper for sociology due Thursday done. I'm lucky its an interesting topic. Even though dad cut me short on the phone the other day when I was explaining my love for the subject, he reacted with "isn't that what w***ers study," I am still very much involved with it. It's opening up my mine, my views, and taking me a step closer to discovering what is my passion and what I want to do with my life, so in general it is making me think outside societies barriers, thus maybe I am a w***er. Whatever the case, I am a happy w***er!

I attended my first football match as you will hopefully see, the video is so slow at loading here. It was very interesting. Didn't understand one bit, but figured as long as everyone was cheering and jumping off the walls we were winning and it was a great atmosphere. Before I could watch though, the team and I had to do 2 hours of work, to help raise extra money for our spring break trip to New Orleans (who knows why coach decided to go there when its ravaged year after year by cyclones and such.) Working involved selling programs to my fellow Iowans and South Dakotians.

BY THE WAY. A new acronym for I.O.W.A is as follows. I Owe the World an Apology! Oh it fits so well. A wonderful subject to discuss in sociology it was ;) Anyway, we had to sell programs, which was fun. Talia and I got tipped! My first tip, it may have only been $2 but it was a wondeful $2. Turns out we overcharged anyway. We were $20 over what we should have reached. So we watched the game for a bit after and then I got bored because I didn't understand it. So i bought a football tshirt thats way to big for me, so naturally I love it!

Besides the football game this week we had morning fitness for the first time. It was pretty laidback because it was just tests, so tomorrow morning will probably be my first intense morning. Nervous but very excited to get fit again! The hits this week have been okay. Would like them to be longer and way more intense and strict, but hey you can't have everything.

I got a new piercing. The one piercing I was very scared about getting. But it didn't hurt at all. It was sore, but painless. I don't know if I was just delerious with nerves, but it was nothing. Nothing compared to my surface peircing, the one lic and alex were with me for. UGH.

This Thursday I'm heading to Minneapolis for a tournament for 4 days. Will be a fun road trip, but apparantly there is one of the biggest shopping centers there, so I'll be on the look out for anything cool to send back home.

Anyways I am hungry so I am off to get a bowl of Black Bean soup, with a side wheat baguette ;)

I am still very tired but my phone will be fixed soon. I'll get a few new phone cards and try and call people very soon :(

Lots of love xxxx
