Drowning in New Haven

I have been exceedingly neglent in my blogging lately due to massive amounts of schoolwork and polo duties so I thought I'd use a procrastination break to catch up. It was really nice to have Mom and Dad both here for Parent's Weekend, even if it did rain the whole time. It hasn't really stopped raining since they left and we're having all sorts of flooding issues up here. It makes getting around to my classes rather unpleasant. I am taking some good classes this semester (even though they're keeping me rather busy): physiological systems, basic concepts of genetic analysis, early modern England (England under the Tudors and Stuarts), and, of course, reasearch.
In addition to classes, polo also takes up an extraordinary amount of time. I'm busy organizing beginners, teaching beginners, exercising horses that have just come back, organizing practices for the varsity and JV, and making sure things generally don't fall apart, all in addition to my own practices! The women's team looks really good this year and our coach is planning on how to get us to national's in the spring. Our first game is Oct 30th against UConn (the current nat'l champs), which will be a tough entry to the season, but should be an exciting game. Our only home game for this semester is in December (I heard that Missy is perhaps looking to come visit... that would be an ideal weekend). We won't be headed down to UVa until next semester, but I would love to see Keith and Kirsty again while I'm down there.
I hope everyone is doing well and that I'll see some of you this year, and maybe a few of you will make it up here for my graduation (how frightening! I'm not ready to leave here...)
