My accomplishments

I was leaving class today and I a little bit of time to sit and think to myself about what is going on in my life and at this point in my life I am about to finish my first year of college. Beside my sister I am the only to make it this far this is a big accomplishment for me and my family. I think feel confident in my abilities to finish college and make something of myself as long as I do not have any math classes in the future. Other than that I am good. I am happy to be able to call myself a sophomore in college I am happy that I was able to keep a 3.1 grade point average in my first semester of my freshman year, and I am on my way to getting a 3.0 or higher on my second semester of my freshman that is if I do well on my finals. I am so happy that I am able to finish at least one year of college and walk away with something. Besides education there is so much that I have learned from being here in college.

Last one

The last blog of the year I never thought that I was going to see this day. I never thought this day was going to come I am so happy that the last week of school. This is the end of my first year of school and man this is something that I will never get used to this is something that I could not do for the rest of my life. I only have 3 years left and I really do not want to do these last three years but I really do not have a choice so I am like skip it college is college the stories are real. I thought it was going to be difficult but I never thought that it was going to be like this but I am down to my last week and that is all that matters. I really can not wait for the next three years the first one went by so fast I hope the rest follows but still it has and for ever will be the class of 07 on mine but now it is 11 but that is okay because we will make it do what it do.

Duces!?1023

Going home means a lot to me because I do not get to go home every weekend like the average person can I have track meets over the weekends and when I do not have track meets to go to I am again 7 hours away I would only get about a couple of hours to sleep then I am on my way back home. Another reason is if I go home I can get a job and get money that has been my quote/phase all year has been to get money. Again football will prevent me from getting a job and because I will be suck here all summer and I would be focusing on playing ball and that will leave me with no time at all to get a job. Even with me running track I would not be able to get a job all that running makes me tried enough and running track at the college level is not joke. You never have anytime to sit on and if you do most of the time you are not doing something that you should be doing and that is going to catch up with you if you keep on doing it.

Duces 101

I live 7 hours from here and man it is so hard to understand why I decided to go so far from home. I understand what it is like to be home sick I am only home sick because school is about to close and I feel like shutting down but I can not because the teachers will not let me they keep giving out work like it is the beginning of the year I wish they would not do that but it seems like they do not care what day it is they are going to give out work like there is no tomorrow. I a m ready to go and see all my old friends but there are a lot on the line for me if I go home there is a lot from trying out for the football team to making it to regional and nationals in track and doing one or the other of those would really give me more money for school and that is something that all of us could use right now because college cost a lot and money does not grow on trees. I do not have money to spare like that and I know that going home is not going to help matters of me making money, but I do not know about you but I am ready to go home

Duces

And so I goes that the young and great Derrick Rose is going to the NBA Draft I do not know why it seems to be a surprise to all the people of Memphis he did not want to go to college he just can to get the college world hype and to get his name out to all who did not know about him and he did a good of that because everybody wants him on there team. Now as far as leaving he is getting paid lots of money to dribble a ball up and down a court and try to shoot a ball in to a small round hoop now anybody what would you do stay in college sorry but HELL NAW they would that basket ball and have the time of there life all we can do is tell D-Rose that it was fun having you here I wish some of the games would have went differently but it is what it is have fun in the NBA and do yo thang like there is no tomorrow take off and do not look about Memphis did its job and got you the exposures and you put Memphis higher on the map than what it was before thanks and good bye.

weather man

I am starting to get the weather that I can down here for. I like the warm weather and that is one of the reason that I can to Memphis I know about the 28 days of being 100 degrees or hotter but that does not seem to bother me I can take this weather it is nothing to me. I like the weather I like the Barbeque that I have had down here. If anything I wish the food down here was a lil bit more spicy just like in Louisiana The home of the Cajun food that is one of the negatives but the positives out weight the negative I would live in Tennessee if I had a good enough reason without complaining living in the Memphis I really do not know about that just yet I would have to take along sleep and see how I felt in the morning before I would make my decision like that. But the now that it is warming up down here I got a reason the smile because that is all I want was warm weather and I chance to wear shorts. I know I could go some place else like California But I am on the Westside and I do not feel like doing all of that moving all at once and I am already here so I will make the best of the situation.

just another face

I have been here for my first year and when it comes to athletes I see the same few people over and over but the thing is that is a small portion of people that I see and there are a lot of athletes that are at the University of Memphis and I my see like 50 of them at the most everday. I had class with D rose last semester and that was probably the only basket ball player I have seen besides on tv and today I saw taggert and Pierre that was a surprising to me. Why? I could not tell you but the thing is they are not that big of celebrities’ as I thought they were going to the tiger den and they did not have a big crowd of people following them people really did not say anything to them the most they did in that time frame that I seen them was a nod if that much it is funny how we hype them up and they are really just normal people like the rest of us. I see football players all the time and the only why I know they are football players is from the bowl game gear and the fact that we go to tutoring together and they do not run track so I figured that they have play football they are just another face.
