Almost the End

I'm about to start on my reflection paper :). This may be the perfect time because it's storming like crazy and this might be the only time I will have time to do it because I am a very very busy person.  I'm a little disappointed because this semester is coming to an end.  I must say my favorite class was Ms. Jessica Swan's class. Lol LOVE IT, can't do anything but love it.  On my worst days, going to her class made me feel much better and even put a smile on my face.  If I miss anything over the summer it will be her class and the friends I made.  Well I'm outie, got to start on my paper.

MOOD SWINGS

Lately I've been having mood swings and going off on everyone for any and every little thing, not good.  I can't wait to this semester is over so I can relax.  I haven't had a good night sleep in I don't know how long and that's not good.  Well I can't complain because it can always be worse, all I can do is pray about it. Other than that everything is great.  I finally got my car and now I don't have to depend on anyone but myself. All smiles again :D

Final Game

On March 16th I played my last intramurals basketball game.  We played in the championship game and lost by 5 points.  AHHHHHHH if only my team didn’t give up before game was even over we could have still won.  I guess that's what happens when you don't have faith in your team.  I know I played one hell of a game but I still hate losing. The only good thing is that I lost that game to 6 of my friends that played on the defending team.  SMH I guess I will have better luck next year.

Ready

I have so much planned for Spring Break.  I'm actually shocked because usually time would be going by very very slow but it isn't, time is really flying.  I hope Spring Break doesn't fly by.  My birthday is on the 10th and I plan on going to Atlanta for a few days with my coworker and then I plan on having a little gathering.  The gathering might not take place this year because of the trip I plan on taking.  I am also ready for Tuesday night because I have one last basketball game before Spring Break.  I'm looking forward to scoring at least 8 points but hey, we will see. Wish me luck

Good Friend

Ahhhhhh where should I start. I have this friend who is like a sister to me, and I never want to see her unhappy.  Last week I found out that her girlfriend was cheating on her with some dude.  For the longest time I was debating about should I be a good friend and tell her, or just wait to she finds out herself.  Before I told her I had to get proof so I talked to the dude her girlfriend was cheating on her with and he did tell me that she was his girlfriend as well.  Friday night I went over her house and told her EVERYTHING because at the end of the day she's my best friend and I don't want her to get hurt.  She took it ok but coming to find out they are still together so I'm going to just leave that alone because I did everything I could do.  She has to learn on her own.  She asked me did I think she was stupid for going back and I told her to answer that question herself because who am I to judge you. Only GOD can judge you, but when it all comes crashing down I will still be here for her. :) Now that's a good friend.

DISASTER

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! My first paper this semester was a disaster.  Who knows what grade I got, it might be a passing grade and it might not.  It could have been better if I put more effort and time in it but I didn't.  I'm not going to stress because that's only going to make the situation worse.  I have learned from my mistakes and from now on I will give more of my time because at the end of the day I have nothing to lose.  I might as well get my work out of the way when it is assigned.  Well now I know.

Finally Got A Topic

I finally found the topic I'm going to do my paper about. The description of my paper is going to be about homosexuality.  I chose that topic because it's something that comes up a lot in our community but people are afraid to talk about it. I mean why not talk about it, it won't hurt to discuss it. I also chose to talk about it because I am a lesbian and there is much information to be shared about the LGBT(Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) community. I will also inform the readers on LGBT rights, same sex marriage, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Act. There are so many positive role models in the gay community now. Having positive role models is very important for the community because if a gay or lesbian person can't go to their family for advice, then they will feel neglected and maybe try to harm themselves. I will finish this discussion in my paper so stay tuned.

Memphis Weather

OMG!!!! Memphis weather is sooooo crazy. You never know what to expect. I remember three years ago we had a tornado in the winter. It also snows in the spring, what a city. It also always seem to snow when I have plans for the following day, I mean it never fails. Last Friday I had plans but everything was cancelled because the day before it snow so when I woke up Friday morning I expected ice to be on the ground but instead there was NOTHING at all. Now that I have plans for tomorrow it wants to snow again, I wonder what's next. I also remember when it uses to just snow in February instead of January. The weather is constantly changing and you never know what to expect. All I can do now is just hope that the rain doesn't freeze over tonight because I refuse to stay in my room and do nothing all day long. I also feel like the more they cancel classes the more work we have to do and I already have more than enough work to do.

Sleeping Habits

It's almost two o'clock in the morning and I'm still up just now doing my blog.  The later I go to sleep, the more energy I have but when I go to bed early less energy I have. I don't feel like getting up sometimes. I'll get up and hit the snooze button 5 times before i stay up for good. Right about now I'm debating if I should go to sleep or stay awake. I'm in a friends room and I guess when she gets sleepy she talks about random topics. She's trying to give me topics to write about after I told her what I'm writing about. If I continue to stay up late my sleeping habits will become terrible. I will not be able to focus on school work maintaining a good gpa. If i also continue to procrastinate it will take away from my sleep hours.  I've just learned my lesson to stop staying up late and trying to do work unless it's necessary, so now I will be doing my blogs early and getting them over with.

Heart of the Game

 This is my first time blogging.  It is VERY different for me but I'm all for learning and doing new things.  Heart of the Game is going to be about women's basketball.  I have been playing basketball since I was in the fifth grade.  That's a very long time.  When I was younger there were so many young girls who enjoyed playing basketball.  The first team I played on was for a community center.  During my time playing for a community center I learned much needed information about the game as well as my teammates.  So I went from playing community center ball to middle school ball.  I didn't really get much play first two years, so when my 9th grade year came I got the mentality like I'm the best one on the team, I'm going to put in the most time and effort, I'm never getting off the court, and this is MY team.  I never took no for an answer and sure enough my hard work paid off, I became captain of the team.  When my coach found out how good I was she put me on the varsity team.  Being on the varsity team you have to compete against your teammates for a spot EVERYDAY, and during the game you have to compete against players on the opposite team.  When it all comes down all those girls are playing their hearts out for one reason, and that's to play for D1 College.  If they make it that far they compete to be the best in the nation and if they succeed they make it to the WNBA drafts.  When they do make it to the WNBA, many of their teams are becoming defunct and that leaves no room for the players to expand.  To me that's not fair because these women make basketball their life and for them to finally make it to the pros and there isn't any room for them on the team, and if they are already on a team the teams are folding for whatever reason, but when it comes to the NBA they have never had a team to fold.  If they can have 35 teams then why not the WNBA, but instead they have 12.  I'm just saying.
