My first first last week was my first test this semester—eek. I’m always a little nervous for the first test in a class because most of the time I don’t know what test style to expect from the professor. But this semester I have two professors that I have had previously so this test wasn’t much of a surprise, plus I studied, so I felt pretty prepared. I got the test back yesterday and I’m off to a good start for the semester!

I hope my first project grade is just as good, because my first pop quiz grade wasn’t so hot. I turned in my first Media Design project last Thursday. The finished product was better than I thought it would be since I really struggled with creating it. One might assume that because I’m a blogger I am also good with computers, and that assumption couldn’t be further from the truth. Also I’m not the most artistic person. Needless to say, my media design class is fun but rather challenging.

We had our first win last Friday too! We beat Indiana Wesleyan for the first time while I’ve been here—that was a great feeling. Tricia, my fellow blogger and teammate, had the assist for the goal in the game! The ODU football team won too—they have won all of their games so far! And Coach told us we had our first two recruits sign to play with us next year!

I got whacked in the face with the ball over the weekend as well—which certainly wasn’t a first—my nose started turning a little black and blue. I was devising some sweet story about my black and blue face but I iced it and it went away. I was a little disappointed I didn’t get a black eye and get to tell some sweet story…then I remembered I had to get my picture taken on Monday—so I guess things worked out for the best.

Yet another first—this weekend was the first time I saw one of my friends in months because he has been at boot camp. I hung out with him and another one of our friends from school. It was Awesome! We watched the Buckeyes beat Texas! And we stopped at a few of his favorite hangouts since it was his first night back in town. All in all, it was a pretty good week.
