Thank God Its Friday

This week went by pretty fast....

11 to 1150 Class
My teacher is officially weird. Shes a women's studies teacher who (and I quote), "uncomfortable talking about sexuality". What in the world??!!! No comment, she just needs to get past that.

I then go home to eat before workouts.

We got our new shoes and stuff today. They are FLYY, and super comfortable. I can't wait to play in them.

2-3 Individuals...
Went really well, and the team is looking really solid. I can feel myself getting into the shape that I need to be in to compete at the highest level. I am beyond basketball hungry right now. That whole sitting out for a year is hitting me right in my stomach. You know, where you get butterflies...right there. Its to the point where I can't wait for practice. All last year i played against my team, it feels so good to finally be playing with them!

330pm hits and I am officially done for the week. It feels so weird not to have anything to do. But its the WNBA playoffs and I can't wait to get home and watch them. So after downing a 32oz Slurpee because its so hot outside, I watch 5 hrs of basketball. Which just makes me want to get up and go to the gym. I have yet to feel like Ive even started my collegiate career, so this whole watching thing needs to end. But its good because I learn from watching but still, I'm ready. I have never ever felt this way about ball before. Where I just wanna run, and shoot, and play. and when I'm done, I wanna keep going, and when I go to sleep, ball is ALL i think about. Sometimes I wanna stop thinking about it so that I can go to sleep! Its true what they say, I eat and sleep basketball. I'm to the point where I can FEEL all this work paying off, it has to!

Just a side note: I never knew that being in a relationship can help you and push you harder. Having my boyfriend around is nothing short of motivation. If I don't feel like pushing myself, he'll push me. If I feel like I'm going to fall or break, he's right there to catch me and pick me up. So maybe I'm just not used to having a guy like him, he's a special one. I know that I would be doing just as well if he wasn't around, but he makes life a whole lot easier. Knowing that he's there after a great or horrible practice makes the weight on my shoulders feel like a cloud. We always talk about how we are a team. Playing basketball for so long I know the importance of a team, and what it needs to function properly. He is the perfect teammate. Having him around is nothing but a blessing and can only help me go further. Love You Sboogie.
