I was brought up in the north of England, which is probably no rougher than anywhere else, but I remember as a child being kind of mesmerized by girls fighting on the playground.

I was frustrated with my times not dropping.

I think I got more comfortable singing because I knew the song. It just kinda flowed.

I tend to research as I write so that the narrative can take priority, which is important for a piece of fiction, I think, finding out facts as and when I need to.

It feels really good to win four in a row, ... Winning so many in a row helps us get ready for the next game.

doubt finish goal mind rest run table though watching
I think realistically our goal is to finish .500 (in the conference). At the same moment, I don't think there's a doubt in anyone's mind we can run the table in the rest of these games. Even though we play LSU and Tennessee, just watching film on them, they're very beatable.

I tell everyone my cousin is on American Idol, it's so cool! We always knew he'd make it.

I think I am a lot more determined with myself because of swimming and I'm really disciplined and I have a good work ethic.

capable career fun game knew net saturday struggled yale
I struggled in the first game of the series, and I didn't want to end my Yale career on that note. I really wanted to be in the net on Saturday so I could play like I'm capable of. I just went out, had fun and after the game, I knew there was nothing more I could have done on the ice.

We need to refocus. We need to make sure we're not taking anything for granted. We need to attack practice with a different attitude than we did the past two days.
