A shot in the...well, it wasn't really dark, but it was kinda warm...
I got to go on my first away match with the team this weekend. We shot at MIT against them, John Jay, and the Coast Guard Academy. It was a match called the Bean Pot, where you win, well, a bean pot. We defended it this year and successfully took it home with us again. :) We shot really well in smallbore despite the fact that we can't pratice that anymore. You see, there were lead tests done in the range as I have said before. There were three tests total and we did indeed fail, yes, all three. The legal limit is 50 parts per million. The last two tests we scored 260 and 250 ppm. ouch. No more smallbore for us. Kinda scary in a we-may-all-be-sterile-and-going-crazy-from-lead-poisoning kind of way. At the match though, I only shot air (which is fine cause I don't like smallbore) and I shot a personal best of 561 out of 600. I was pretty happy. I decided I was going to try to aim for All American my senior year, for which you have to have a match average of 580. Who knows if it will happen, but I can try.
In other news, the sun was shining yesterday AND it was sunny! It was about 27 I think and let me tell you, that is quite the heat wave. People were going around with no coats on! It was so nice! Vermont really gets you used to the cold. Saturday night it was really nice out. Not too cold, no snow, clear, over all really nice. We looked up the temperature when we got in and it was 13. Yes, 13 felt nice here. It is 13 right now at 1124am and it is supposed to get up to 22. This weather is really a nice change. 28 tomorrow is just amazing. When you go to class in the morning and it is -20, it can get a bit depressing.
Maude is doing well. I am going to see if Mike can take a better picture than what I have and then I will attempt to try to find out how to post it here. She is so cute. hehe.
Well, it is time for me to dry my hair and finish getting dressed so I can go to lunch because after 3 straight hours of class starting at 8 this morning I am hungry! rar. :)

:) Congrats on the personal best! You're a straight shooter. Ha ha. And good job for kicking MIT's butt. Now our enginner's will have to in the design competition...
I'll take a pic of Maude, assuming she doesn't poot on my camera. Or me :P
Weather and getting dressed. Nice ;)
Love Mikey
P.S. I suck at the tango
CONGRATS on your personal best! You totally rock! But now remember, I know a couple people at the Coast Guard, so try not to shoot them. Take pictures of the rat definitely, I want to see!
