Well well.. I think I’ve perhaps chosen the most uneventful day of our trip to write about. But that’s nothing to complain about, since our spring break in California was far from being dull! Our morning started off with the usual run and breakfast, followed by a short practice. Since Day five was sandwiched between two hard matches (UC San Diego and University of Redlands), we kept our activities pretty light.

What is there to do in beautiful Claremont? After practice, we went to the Claremont Village, where we went shopping at the little boutique stores. Amy, Indu and I headed straight for the bead shop, where we mustered up our artistic powers to design our own necklaces. We definitely kept everyone else waiting, trying to finish them. After that, most of the team decided to go watch the Emory men’s team play their match against the Redlands. A couple of us stayed behind at the hotel to log in some productive schoolwork time. Dinner was spent in the mall food court, and more shopping was accomplished by a few of us. For some reason, Day five ended without the team’s ritual stop at 21 Choices. No worries, though – we were well rested to battle the University of Redlands the next day!
