Busy, busy week-graduation, athletics update

I feel like a broken record, going on and on about how busy I am. It's truly only because I'm taking seven classes, half of which are 400-level.... and I'm working on my honors project, and I have an internship. College isn't always this crazy!
Campus is starting to smell like spring again. I can already imagine the flowers springing up all over campus and the trees starting to get their leaves back. It's been really cold the last few days but since spring break, all of us are getting ready for summer break. It's bittersweet that this is my last spring as a college student.
Our spring athletics have started again. The teams seem to be doing well. Men's lacrosse is 6-0. Tennis seems to be going well (7-4 men's, 3-5 women's). Baseball's gone 3-3 since spring break. Women's lacrosse is 2-2. The softball team is 14-2.
We just signed a new head coach for our men's basketball team... Brooks Miller, who was an assistant coach for Bob Knight at Texas Tech. He seems promising. Our athletics continue to improve and grow.
Campus is busy. Everyone is registering for classes, making sure they can graduate on time, etc etc etc.
The announcement of who will be delivering the commencement speech is always highly anticipated. Last year Bob Knight spoke and he tends to be a tough act to follow. This year, Lou Holtz, the hall of fame football coach, will be speaking. Holtz coached Notre Dame's football team from 85-96. He also coached at North Carolina State, Arkansas, Minnesota, and the NFL's New York Jets. Now he commentates games for ESPN and has written numerous New York Times best sellers. It should be a very motivational speech for students emerging from the school, out into the job market.
Well... that's all I have for now.
