Dear Diary,

	Katie Douglas led the Big Ten in scoring last season with a 20.4 average.

It is a beautiful day in good ol' West Lafayette. We were crowned Big Ten champions on Sunday after our win against Minnesota. It was also Senior Night, so a few tears were shed. The night couldn't have been any better -- we played awesome and finally accomplished the first goal that we set for ourselves when we began this season.

I never thought I would come to Purdue and have as much success as we are having. This is the second year in my four years that we have won the Big Ten outright. It is only the third time ever that Purdue has won an outright regular-season title. I think that speaks volumes of my classmates and teammates.

Needless to say, I am very happy this morning. We still have one game remaining in the regular season -- at Penn State on Thursday. I think the team is very excited about winning, but we realize that we do not want this to be the last thing that we win. We have some unfinished business left in the Big Ten and we will prepare for a tough battle against the Nittany Lions this week.

Outside of winning the championship and getting another ring, I didn't have a very good week last week. I had a lot of work that I had to do and was busy the entire time. I don't think I even got to watch very many college games because I was so immersed in my academics.

Some of you who know me might think that statement is funny, but I really was buckling down for a tough week. I had two tests and one paper due. I still have what I consider to be my biggest test tomorrow. So, on my lovely day off, I get to study for my test. I can't think of anything I would like to do more than plunge myself into an abyss of school work.

Until next time ... KT
