First of all, I hope everyone had a restful break and a fun-filled holiday season! I surely did. I got to go home to visit my friends and family. I got to take several road trips to Tulsa to hang out with friends there. I got 3 credit hours out of the way by taking an online intersession class. And I went to a tournament at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, CO to and got qualified for the US National Taekwondo Team Trials in April! I had a blast and got productive! Not gonna lie… I’m pretty proud of myself!

At a friend’s house in Arkansas with all of my friends from high school.

At the Athlete’s Village at the Olympic Training Center before my tournament.

But now it’s back to school and I’m actually really excited about it! This semester is going to be great. I can already feel it. I love my classes. My teachers are great. I’ve got all kinds of fun extra curricular things involving clubs and taekwondo going on and I can’t wait to see what this semester holds!

Finally, I just wanted to commend the Cowboys on their post season effort. Sure, they lost the game but thinking back to last year, the team has made such a huge improvement and everyone is saying that next year is going to be even better!

GO POKES!
