This last week I managed to do two things:

1. Competing at the North Atlantic Regional Figure Skating Championships

and...

2. Returning to a lovely amount of school work that sat vacant in my hotel room

 Since
I was 8 years old, I have spent my life in an ice rink.  Now, as a
Columbia student I spend my life in the ice rink (Chelsea Piers Sky
Rink) and the Butler Library.  Figure skating is a year round
spirt that requires a ridiculous amount of commitment, but what can I
say?  I love it!  Of course I did all the little routines
where I had to wear the huge pink tu-tu or the over-sized poodle skirt
waddling arond the ice amongst the adoring fans (aka my parents). 
But when I was 15 years old I moved away from my family in Virginia to
skate in New Jersey with a new skating partner.  In July (yes
July) I sent in my application to Columbia (GS) because the partner
didn't work out.  I decided to keep skating, and now I'm here and
loving every minute!.....even the 6am practices in Chelsea...

New pictures are on their way!
