Friday

7:20 a.m.: Wake up and get dressed in my dorm, have coffee #1 of the day in my dorm then leave to go to commons and get something light before class. 

8:00 a.m.: Physics lab. My lab partners and I added timed oscillations of a pendulum using different lengths. 

9:30 a.m.: Walk back to the commons to socialize. Had coffee #2 and some oatmeal with friends. 

10:30 a.m.: Walk over to sports med to get treated before practice later that night, heated, rolled and stretched. 

11:00 a.m.: Went to sign the lease for my housing senior year with three other girls, then we had to grab some Starbucks while we were out. I can never resist a pumpkin spice latte in the fall so that was my coffee #3 of the day

11:40 a.m.: Done with classes for the day and didn’t have the focus to start Monday’s work so I watched Dune with a friend. Excellent movie, definitely worth a watch in my opinion. 

3:00 p.m.: Walked over to practice a little early to help get the pre-practice vibes going in the locker room. The practice night before a game dictates the way we start on game day so it’s important to have a good practice. 

5:30 p.m.: Practice went well, energy and workrate was great under the lights on Garc. We’re all ready for tomorrow. 

6:15 p.m.: Team dinner in commons, everyone is feeling good and we’re ready for tomorrow. 

9:30 p.m.: Watched some Great British Baking Show before hitting the hay early to make sure I’m well rested for game day. 

Saturday

7:30 a.m.: Wake up and listen to some James Taylor in my dorm. I always like to start the morning with some music on a game day. 

8:00 a.m.: Breakfast with the team, everyone is getting excited, but nervous for the game. 

8:30 a.m.: Help get the locker room decorations finalized before the seniors arrive. All the upperclassmen had different jobs in making senior day festivities happen. 

9:30 a.m.: Good vibes in the locker room, energy is high and everyone is ready to do their part in helping the team get a result. 

9:45 a.m.: Pre-game talk with the coach upstairs. 

10:00 a.m.: Line up and walk out to warm up. 

11:00 a.m.: KICKOFF
