ALOHA!!!!

Well, tuesday is the start of a 4game week!!! 4 college games in 7 weeks is almost unheard of. Especially considering we've been on the floor (practice/games/shootaround) for about 2 weeks strait. No complaints, but the tiredness is starting to kick in. However, com tuesday night, there is NO room to be tired. We play our crosstown rival USD and its gonna be a good one. This game is always a big deal, so we can't wait. And if any of you watched the Uconn game, its pretty safe to say that we are in need of a huge bounce back game! So after we accomplish that, the next morning we are off to hawaii for a tournament, and 3 games in 3 days. I think they said that within one week we will have traveled over 10,000 miles! That is alot, but hey, thats the life of a student athlete. We are currently 2-1 and need this 4 game stretch to be good. We have been working really hard, and don't plan on leaving anything behind. TIPoff is set for 7:30 on tuesday night at USD.

Other than that, I haven't really been at school but I have been getting my work done. Thankfully those 2 weeks that were crazy insane for me filled with papers, were like the last majorly big things going on. So I'm happy that my schedule is chillin out a little.

The family is great, and my little sister just turned 16!!! I can't believe it. My family all went to 6 flags to celebrate, unfortunately i had to practice but i was there in spirit. I heard they had fun, and my mom has clearly stated that she wants to go to 6 flags for her 40th birthday lol. Do ur thang momma, hopefully I can make that one.

Not really much else goin on around these parts. Any freetime I have Im asleep or eating.

Until next time,
Be blessed yall.

It has been A WHILE!!!

My deepest apologies for not keeping everyone posted on my daily life, but its been crazy around here. School has been insane. I seriously had 9 papers to write in a span of 2 weeks, so the only thing I was writing was those papers! On another note, basketball is in full effect. We jus finished practice #22 today which means our 1st game is tomorrow night. It seems to have crept up on us extremely fast this year. I think subconsciously we all wish we had a little more time to prepare and get better, but at the same time, we all could not wait for the 1st game. Because we have so many new people, i think a lot of us are a tad bit on our toes, including our coaches. But after practice today, after staying for an extra 30 minutes to get some shots up, I told my coach I was a little nervous. After all, I am coming off an entire year of not playing in a single game. She said tomorrow is the day to get out that 1 turnover, airball, and it'll be all good off that. She said just to relax and have fun. I know I'll be fine once i get out there, its just the anticipation that has been leading up to this day. I cannot wait, I have waited too long already. Not only am I excited for myself, I am excited for my teammates, my coaches, fans, friends, family, but mostly for my parents. This is college basketball, something that even in my junior year, I do not feel they have a got a chance to see me do. This is where all the money they put into club ball over the last 10 years can pay off. So mom and dad, tomorrow is going to be for you. I can see my Daddy light up when he even thinks about watching my play. And my mom, I just can't wait to hear her yell!!!



All in all, hard work pays off. I have seen my teammates through blood, sweat, and tears, and tomorrow, we start on our journey to the top!!!

Today is the day!!! I am on my way to vote finally. I can feel the energy everywhere. This election IS the most important election in history. In my eyes, that is a literal sense. Not only did we have a woman running for president, but we have a woman running for VP. And of course the obvious, a black man (bi racial man) who I pray to God becomes president. Being able to witness what he has embarked on can bring tears to a persons eyes. Im sure that people from the older generations can feel it a little more than we do, but to me its all the same. My mom made a statement the other night when talkin to me, my sister, and brother... "Do you guys know that the president is going to be just like you?" In referrance to him being biracial. I think him being biracial is even more amazing. We are still til this day fighting racism, and representing 2 races that have fueled since what seems like forever, is an accomplishment in itself. All in all, i am very proud to be apart of this election, and everyone else is America should be proud too. Even when people say "my vote doesnt count", if they really feel that way, then how are we ever going to make change. For some reason I believe that today is the today.

As for me, Ive been way to busy to blog about my "busy-ness" LOL... But in due time we will catch up. Our first game is November 10th! thats monday yall! crazy talk... So be there.
So weve been working hard and we are looking to start off right. As for school, no complaints. It has its heavy loads at times and Im pushing through leaving no regrets, also meaning that my grades are reflecting my hard work.

On that not...
Peace & Love
