After the month of "March Madness," Coach gave us the weekend off to visit our families, rest our bodies, and focus on our studies (the semester is over for some of us in less than a month!). Some of us went home, and some of us stayed in Atlanta and took advantage of the many springtime festivals occurring throughout the city.

The International Fair that takes place on campus each spring allows students to sample and investigate the food, music, and dance from around the world. The Dogwood Festival that takes place in Piedmont Park, a European-esque Park in Midtown, allows you to relax while enjoying the works of local musicians and artists.

Last weekend was a great chance for all of us to get ready for the last leg of our season. It is hard to imagine my junior year is nearly over, but I know my fellow teammates and I are ready to end this year triumphantly.

On a lighter note, I would like to thank Lauren Haag for participating in one of Nicole and Mary's bus-ride-home prank calls. It's a tradition that has annoyed many of our friends and teammates, but it's great fun!

Haag, I hope that someday you actually get 31 seconds to name all 31 Baskin Robbins flavors to win $31,000. Love ya, Haag!

Mary Nicol is a junior from Barrington, Ill. She would love to answer e-mail questions from Emory recruits and fans.
