This is my new page for our class. I am adding rowing information and links, and additional pages to highlight the fantastic rowing event I participated in last weekend (April 3-4).

I still love speedskating, but have recently fallen in love with rowing.


Thesis information...

My thesis on fan fiction is finished, and you can download it by right clicking on the filename below and "saving as..." to your computer.  The PDF is 1.2 MB and comes to 118 pages. Keep that in mind when downloading and printing; if possible, read it on screen and save a tree. Enjoy. P.

Pictures from the San Diego Crew Classic... the longest regatta in the west, at 2,000 meters. Click here for my photos.
I have discovered that there is no feeling in the world like being out on the water. It is great sculling (another word for rowing) in a double shell with just another person, but it is an amazing thing to be on the water with eight other women and feel the boat shoot forward when the cox gives the word.

I didn't row a lot in the regatta, but what little rowing I did was lots and lots of fun.

And, not to be forgotten, the Beastie is on the new page as well.





 Speedskating Links:

US Speed Skating
   - home of US Speed Skating.

Santa Clarita Speedskating
   - my home club
There are different kinds of speedskating, my favorite kind is short track. Basically the goal of short track is "go fast, turn left, don't fall down."
