What's up ya'l!? Man, it seems like I am always apologizing on this thing because I can't seem to get it going on a consistent basis, but I promise you right now that I will keep it going consistently....
I am trying to remember the last time I wrote something and I am thinking it was after we won the Big Ten Tournament! So, that leaves off at the NCAA tournament -- man, does it seem like forever since we lost to Georgia, but it still burns everyday like nothing I have ever felt before. Ya'll remember the game -- it was ours, but we let it go and I felt so badly and still feel badly about the fact that I gave up the last 7 points of that game. I know there's nothing I can do now but let it burn into me everyday and just let it fuel my fire and passion for the game. I don't ever want to feel like I did after that game and believe me -- everytime I work out I think about those 7 pts.....
School ended pretty well -- let's just say this first year of college was definitely a learning experience in both the worlds of athletics and academics. I learned a lot about the college life and now I understand what I need to do for both basketball and schoolwork too. I am now majoring in General Health and Science because I really have no idea what I want to do with my life as of right now. I really enjoy Science classes because I truly feel like I am learning something in them, but I can see myself being a communications major or something in that department. Here's what I figure, I am only 19 years old and just finished my first year of college -- so, as long as I figure out what I want to do by next year I still be able to graduate on time and all things will work out the way they are supposed too. Just Trust in the Lord and all things will work out -- He always seems to know what's He's doing and it seems He does them all for a certain reason.
Catching up to life right now, I am currently taking a communications class -- it's going pretty well as of right now -- I have an A as of this moment with 2 weeks left and 2 big speeches to give. So, as long as I do well on the next two speeches then I should walk away with an A in the class...I have class from 8:40 to 10:40 and then I have a job -- haha -- that's right -- I have a job. It's a pretty good job too. I like having extra money on the side especially for how expensive gas is right now....camps start this week so there's another opportunity for us to make a little more cash which is wonderful!.....I moved into a new apartment and I live with Carol, Hannah, and Bake -- I really enjoy living with them but I do miss living with Indi -- she consistently had me in stitches laughing so hard!.....We are also working out with a new conditioning coach right now. Tash has been really great -- we started working out with her about 2 weeks ago and I think she's definitely helped us get better -- we are all monitoring what we eat and how much of it too -- yep, that means I am trying to cut back on the cokes and boy is that a hard thing for me to do -- basically, I LIVE ON COKE, but I do feel that I have cut back and I will hopefully get to the point where I won't even want one again -- maybe not, but I am trying and that counts for something, doesn't it!?.....well, I think that's about all that's going on in my life right now -- fishing and golfing on the weekends -- good times baby!
Too bad my Pacers couldln't pull it out last night -- but they didn't deserve to win the way they were playing -- maybe next year, but I don't know about my man Reggie -- I don't want him to retire but if he's going to play like he did this year -- he might as well throw in the towel -- hope not though, maybe we'll see the Old Reggie next year -- boy, would I love that!!!!!!!
Alright, well, peace out ya'll -- God Bless!
