Hello everyone! So tomorrow we have our final day of boot camp! It’s known as the gauntlet but meg, jess, larry and I just like to call it 1, 2, 3, 12! On Sunday we all had the privilege to run 20 suicides and everyone danced their way through it. (Literally) Besides our awesome conditioning my classes have been really busy. I’m taking all major courses so I can’t slack on any of them. I’m trying to fit in important X-Box time with Janaya but haven’t been able to yet. Clearly she is getting mad at me because she denominated me for love last week. Ouch. Other than that I love my team! We are a whole different group with a lot of new faces but they all fit right in. Practice starts Sunday at midnight and our first game is in just over a month. I cannnn’t wait!!! Alright well time for bed so I can be in the gym by six!!
Awwww jackets!!

HEYYOOO seasons almost here
I would like to start this blog by apologizing, because pup and I were going to do a rap about our team but then ran out of time, so instead we had to write separate blogs. The rap will come at some point, but not during midterms. To all of our fans, we are very sorry.
So I just finished my second midterm of the year, and I am a much happier camper! Speaking of camp, we are almost done with BOOT CAMP!!! Which makes me a very happy camper. Everyone has been doing an unbelievable job so far this season, and it is very exciting to see the level of commitment to the program from returners and newcomers alike. We only have one more day of running, which will be nothing compared to the 20 suicides that we did on Sunday night. No, that was not a typo, we did 20 you guys!! Pretty awesome, but I am super glad that it's over.
In other jacket news, Homecoming is this weekend. I'm gonna plug my roommate here, JoBeth Roll (YJ4L), because she is up for queen so everyone vote for her!!! Jess, Larry, Rachel and I will be holding it down on the field as we try to live up to our title as "best ball crew in the OAC" which won't be hard since we were told that the John Carroll ball crew texted the entire game. Get it together, Blue Streaks. Other than that, not much is going on in the hive. We are just getting ready for our first practice this Sunday (at midnight, yikes) and are looking forward to the craziness that will follow. I gotta go meet Coach Campbell at the Colony Room now, one of the best kept secrets at BW.
GET EXCITEEDDDDDD!!!!!!!

They call me Pup
Well hello there, everyone! I am now blogging as an official Baldwin-Wallace student-athlete which is very exciting! I've loved my time here so far and am very excited to see what the future holds! I've been blessed with two awesome roommates and an awesome basketball team which has been so nice to have! My roommates so kindly gave me the nick-name of "Pup" during the first week of school because they say I'm kind of like a lost puppy.... which I really can't disagree with. The name seems to be catching on too....
BUT, as others have said before me, we are just about done with conditioning *insert angels singing 'Hallelujah' here* ha just kidding.... kind of. After the first day, which was supposed to be the easiest, I didn't think I would ever make it through conditioning. But much to my surprise, we finished 20 suicides last night and I think we can all say it was definitely somewhat easier than expected. The support of the entire team is certainly helpful and encouraging though!
I'm really looking forward to the rest of my time here, both with basketball and the rest of school in general. To any possible future freshman reading this... YOU SHOULD COME HERE!!!! We have fun :] I love all of these girls already and can't wait to see what fun this year brings! But that is all for now!
Peace outttttt!

1 MORE TO GO!
Hey everyone, as most of you know/have heard we have had the pleasure of participating in boot camp, otherwise known as conidtioning, for the past two and a half weeks so far. We started off having 10 boot camp sessions and now are down to our final one coming up on Wednesday-The Guantlet, sounds fun right? Although it has been very tough (especially day 1, aka: death), I would definitely say it has been the best thing this team has gone through in the last couple years. The struggle we have endured over the last 9 boot camp sessions has definitely made us stronger, not only physcially, but as a team. We have became such a close group that I can honestly say already I love each and every single one of my teammates. Enough of the sappy talk though... More importantly, last night- EVERY SINGLE PLAYER finished our conditioning session last night running 20 suicides & I am so proud of everyone! What an accomplishment for this team already. With boot camp coming to an end, I cannot wait for season to start and to see our team in action on the court. I speak for everyone on this team when I say that there is no doubt in our minds we are going to kick butt this year!
