I was inspired/motivated by Doug's year in review blogs to briefly review my last 4 years at Acadia since Graduation is quickly approaching...

STARTING WITH FIRST YEAR:

My dad helped me move all my belongings into a very large double room in Cutten House. All Girls at the time, 24 hour quite and alcohol free! I wasn't coming to university to party, i was here to study...and run!
It was on the first day of cross country practice where I met my very best friend Katie. I've spent a LOT of time with my xc team over the past couple of years and they are fantastic!














Also in Frosh week, I met Keith Budgell, who became my very best friend. If i wasn't running with the XC team I was definately hanging out in Chipman house with Keith and the rest of the boys.



















There were the frosh formals, cutten/chipman formal, drunken nights in residence, xc rookie initiation where I drank cheap beer out of an old running sneaker, all the xc road trips, the visits home to visit Cat at UPEI, my 19th birthday which I don't remember too well, Easter at Katie's Cottage, many many runs with katie, my hair was long, post-xc meal all, drinking with rene & the team in the Kine Lougne before the athletics banquet...it was a fantastic year and i was so sad to leave. Katie, Barteau and Erin helped my dad and me empty out my res room at the end of the year. That summer I lived with Cat for awhile and then with Ryan at the old Water/Prince Apt in Ch'town. There were many Thursday night stumbles to Peaks that summer. I worked a the nursing across the road from out apt and at Cora's Breakfast.
If i left out any important memories from first year at acadia, let me know!!!
