The rugby team is preparing to participate in a national tournament, often just being referred to as “Championships” so there are more practices to attend (as you are able) and practices are getting more and more specific. It is both difficult and very enjoyable! I have been getting closer with our rugby mates. There was a retreat this weekend on an island half an hour east of UIC. We had dinner, played games (poker, billiard, and Majiang), set off fireworks, and sang karaoke. It was a lot of fun~ and we stayed the night.

I hit a new PR (personal record) at the gym! I squatted 92kg, roughly 202lbs!! Yay, I finally broke the 200lb benchmark. It was one of the best feelings all week!

My classes are mostly just group projects, so I have been chugging along at those. There is nothing very interesting happening in my classes specifically. Everything is pretty normal.

Thursday, we went to dinner with Tony and Hao~ Hao is an intern who exchanged at UIC while he was in college a few years ago. He is from Vancouver, Canada and graduated from University of Michigan.

Just getting through the next couple of weeks before our reading week!! (Basically spring break).
