A normal Wednesday begins at 720 when I wake up
in my dorm room.
Here are our desks. I have spent many long hours
at mine!
Here is my roommates bed. The bathroom is around
the corner.

740 My roommate and I leave Xavier, our
dormitory, and head to practice.
Xavier is the red building. I live on the second
floor, to the left of the picture.

Before going to the field, we go into the
recreational center (the Rec) to pick up our gear
and practice clothing.
This is the outside of the Rec.
Inside the Rec we practice here in the winter
and on rainy days

Getting ready to practice!
The team outside on Ivy Field
Emily, Nadine and Kimmy from Minnesota, England
and California

Practice goes from 8am to 10am. It is
competitive and tough, but always fun.
Here is a teammate doing a diving header. My
roommate is about to save the ball.

Rec where I have my individual training session.

100pm After a very short break for lunch, its
time to go to class again!

buildings on campus. Can you see the statue of
Elizabeth Ann Seton?

allowed in here. We have two certified trainers
who make up our lifting program.

my friends in the cafeteria for dinner.

you can find something edible!

830pm Finally! My day is almost over! Now its
time to go to the library to study and do my
homework.
This is Walsh Library. It has four floors of
books and many quiet places to study for long
hoursespecially during finals!

11pm Now my day is really over! I return to my
room where my roommate and I relax!
My roommate Buffy! She is from Germany and plays
keeper on our team. Can you tell what her
favorite animal is?

I have to do it all over again! See you on the
field!
