This past Friday I flew to North Carolina for a track meet. On our way there the airport lost or "misplaced" our luggage. It is beyond me how 20 bags that say Villanova Track & Field could all have been lost. It was really important that we got our bags that night because our uniforms and spikes were in them, which we needed for the next morning. We attempted to call the airport for over 2 hours after leaving (keep in mind we were at the airport for about 2 hours trying to find them) to try and locate where the bags could have been. Everyone that we would talk to would try and connect us to a different person or different phone number. You would think with the technology that we have today the bags ... read more

I love music. I am totally that annoying girl who walks around listening to her IPOD and doesn't hear when people call her name or when her phone rings. And I like so many different kinds of music. I used to be NSYNC's biggest fan (and I definitely still have some of that in me somewhere :-) ) I love oldies and country and I really like a lot of today's popular music. I love how easy it is to listen to music- CDs are relatively cheap sometimes, and you can always download. Technology has everything to do with the spread of popular music. Of course, as convenient as all of this is, there is nothing like seeing a singer or a band live. I think it is so crazy to be listening to one of ... read more

pencils...PENCILS...wow, they are messy, aren't they? i'm kidding. they come in all shapes, sizes, designs, COLORS. why the pencil? like...just...WHY!? that's just so much to handle at one time. a pencil isn't just a pencil. it's...it's a MANY-thinged THING. wrap your head around that one, america. maybe they're colored so we can make math fun for those who hate it? are they oversized so little kids can hold a giant pencil in their tiny little hands? lead pencils...now THOSE are cool. i use them all the time. they're so much better than using a regular yellow pencil that's going to break. a plus side, lead pencils come with extra lead and erasers. regular number two yellow pencils do not. you use it, you...lose...it? i was trying to think of something witty to say, but it didn't ... read more

I am so excited for spring!! I am so sick of wearing jackets and Uggs and sweaters take up too much room in the tiny closets in the quad. I cant wait to break out the flip flops and skirts! Campus is so much more fun in the spring because everyone is outside either tanning, throwing a football, watching a game outside, or just hanging out in the quad. It makes it seem like this is a more friendly and sociable place to be. I also love Easter. One of my favorite parts about Easter is getting Easter candy. Even though you can buy the same candy all year round, Hershey's chocolate tastes even better when it's wrapped in pastel colors. I think I have already made 3 trips to CVS to buy Easter candy to ... read more

sooo today me and a bunch of my friends had our first softball practice in preparation for our first intramural softabll game. I personally hate softball and only play cause all my friends do. The most important part of softball for me is the outfit i show up in. Since I hate softball I make it fun and wear something completely ridiculous...just like at todays practice. Industry and technology have allowed activites such as intramural softball to take place, and has even allowed for things such as our team tshirts. My roomate from last years mom designed them for us and went to a tshirt place to have them made. technology has helped these activities become fun and more exciting so even people like me who hate softball can enjoy them. Our softball practice went well. ... read more
