Sleepy Day

For some odd reason when I woke up this morning I was extremely tried. I almost didn't want to go to my first class thing morning. Then on top of that, I have to sit in study hall for another hour, which is making me even more tired because I am so ready to go. Then to make things even worse, I have to revise my paper for English because it is due tomorrow. Something told me I should have done all of this over the break but I never really got time to do anything. I spent most of it with my family and friends. Who really want to do homework over the break. I know I didn't. I also have a time trial today for track that I am kind of nervous about because it has to be better than the last one that we did. So I have to get mentally and physically prepared for that. But other than that, I'm still tired and need to take a nap. I went to bed at a decent time last night, I don't know why I'm so tired. Maybe because I'm so worried over finals and stuff that my brian is making me tired. Maybe I just need to sit down for a minute and take a breath of fresh air. But nayways let me get back to my work so that I can finsh it at a descent time and get out of here at a descent time too. BYe!!!!!

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY!!!

I had so much fun being with my friends and family. When I first got home, I went to a basketbal game by my house. My old high schoolwas playing and we won, 66-68. I know, we are pretty good. Then after that I went and shot pool with my boyfriend and my play brother and sister. The next day I went to the mall to go shopping because I was going to the club later on that night. I had so much fun there too. I wasn't as crowded as I thought it ws going to be either. Of course the next day was Thanksgving, i spent all day with my boyfriends mom and some of here family. The next day I went shopping again because of all the sales and stuff that was going on. Being a girl this day and age, you can never pass up a good sale, it's just impossible. On Saturday, I spent all day with my mom. We went to the movies and took pictures, and went to Olive Garden to go eat. I had alot of fun that day. Of course on Sunday, it was time to go back to San Marcos. So I spent as much time as I could with my mom justtalking and planning for or next trip back home. I hate to say it, but I'm ready to go back home again. We only hae like 2 weeks left of school, then its off back to home I go. I wonder how the next trip ios going to turn out. I jope as fun as the thi one was. But next time it's going to be a whole moth full of fun!!!!

OOOUUUCCHHHH!!!!~

I know that I have always complained about how sore I was ans stuff but this time it is different. My ankle hurts on my right leg and my hip flexer hurts on my left leg. I hope I'm not playing to pieces. All of this started yesterday, we did hurdle drills yesterday. I know for a fact that I was doing my hurdle drills alittle bit too much and my hip was sore for a minute but after that, I was good. The next morning I woke up, and both my hip flexer and my ankle were killing me, so I went to the trainer today to see what the problem was. They told me tha my hip flexer could have been soreness and they still don't know what is going on with my ankle. I hope and prayer to God that I didn't hurt my ankle too bad. OH MY GOD! I can't wait to go home for Thanksgiving, I am getting so sick and tried of people up here it's not even funny. People talk alot up here, but like my mom always told me, "if they are talking about you, then you must be doing something right." So I really don't care and think twice about naybody but myself. SO HOLLA!!!!

Hard Day Of Practice

For the past two days, prcatice has been a living nightmare. Yesterday, we did a total workout plus 3-400m runs and they were all timed. Then today, we did hills (5 sets of 3), then right after that we had to do weights. Now I'm not the one to complain about weights very much because they are pretty easy. But the weights that he had is doing today was torture. My legs are so stiff and so sore, it hurts to even walk in a straight line. I expected this kind of pain when we came back from Christmas break, but I guess not. My coach also told me that this week and next week are going to be the hardest weeks. I'm just so ready to pass out and die right about now. I felt as if I was lifting more than I usually do( I have a pretty good feeling that I was, that probably why I am in so much pain). I'm even scared to go to practice tomorrow. Usually I'm only nervous because I never know what the work-out is going to be, but now I'm actually scared. If this is supposed to continue through the entire school year, they might as well kill me now because this really hurts. Well enough about my problems, I have bigger issues like my test tomorrow and my final paper due on Thursday for my US Seminar class. Speaking of that,let me get to writing it. Talk to you later.

CRazy WEEK

My weeken is fixing to be a crazy week. I havea critique due tomorrow, and exam and wednesday, and a papaer due on thurdays. I have never had a weeke like this. This turns out akmost to be impossible. But I know it's real.. I mean what kind of human would wnat to do this to a college student. Don't they have any common sense to just give us a break. Well I kind of have to give credit because I did have a light week last week because I really didn't have anything to do but a paper, so I really should not complain, btu this is too much work. The only thing that I have next weeke is a math test. But that won't be all that bad, I just hate that I have all of things piled on me at one time. It's almost like cruel and unusual punishment. What did I ever do to deserve this. I did all of my work in high school and I made good grades. and on top of that, I was an athlete doing all of this. Again I ask, what kind of person would do this to a human being. But I guess this is what the real life is going to be like. Might as well get use to it. But other than the drama that I just told you, my days are going by. I can't complain. Oh, and just in case you were wondering how track is going, it's coming along pretty good. I can't complain about that either, except for all of the pain and torture that they put me through. So I guess thats it for the day. Holla!

Hallowen Weekend

I HAD A BLAST! I qwent to the Kappaween Party in San Marcos with one of the girls that I run track with. I had alot of fun. I was a crossing guard ans she was a skittle. I Friday, I went and got my nails done and got my hair straighten for the party. My friend did the same thing, except for get her hair done because it was already done. After the party, I came back to my room and then my otherfriend came and got me and I went over to his house for a little while. Even though we didn't do anything but watch movie and talk al night, I still enjoyed being with om because it was somebody that I went to school with and it felt like old times. I really don't have muchmore to say than that so I guess I'm going to just end it rght now. HOller back pimping

Homecoming Continued

Well it didn't exactly turn out the way that I had planned it. Of course my mom didn't come down like she said that she would, but I was okay with that. I'll have to admit in the beginning I was mad about it but aftera whilke I got over it. I spent most of my timr shopping at the outlet with my best friend and my other friend, that we never made to the game, so instead we went to the stpe show and caught some of that.It was really good and I had alot of fun. After the step show was the after party. It styarted off pretty good, then got bad when it ended at 12:30. I was so upset because I could have went to Austin and spent $15 at the club and stayed in there for about 8 hours. But after that, went to the after- after party at someone's apartment. That was so horrible, it was so manny peopel t ryung to get in the apartment that I couldn't even move to get iut. It took me about 30 minutres to get in the apartment and then it took another 30 minutes just to get out. That just made no sense at all. Then after that we went over to one of the football players house and just sta and chilled over there. I kind of got sleepy after about an hour so I called it quits for the night and went back to my room. Then on sunday, I just prepared myself for Monday by doing my laundry and homework. I didn't go anywhere and I didn't do anything. I just basically chilled all day on Sunday. My best friend went back to Houston later on that night. He said he hated the trip because he was the only one in the car and it was boring. I kind of understood where he was coming form becayse I remeber the d rive up to San Marcos and back to Houston. It is not fun all by yourself. But anyways that is how my weekend turned out to be. Holla!

HOMECOMING WEEKEND!!!

This weekend is our homecoming and I am so excited. My mom said that she would be coming down here,but at the last minute, she siad she didn't know because she didn't feel like driving. I was kind of disapponited about that because I really wnated to see my mom, but I could understand beause that is a pretty long drive when you are driving by yourself. MY best friend is still comng down for me homecoming which is great. I just seen him last weekend, but he said he wanted to come for my homecoming. His homecoming was last weekend, but he skipped his homecoming game to come down here and see me. My best friend goes to Rice University in Houston, Texas. Yea I know what you are thinking, How is the hell did he get in there. Well all I can tell you is that my bestfriend is not idoit. He is smatere as hell. That's who helpes me on most of my work. bUt back to what I was saying. On Friday, we plan to go back to San Antonio to go shopping again or we might just go to the outlet. I think we would do better going to the outlet. We might find more of what we are looking for there. Then on Saturday, of course, is the game. WE plan on going to part of yhe game, then we are going to go to the step show. I have never went to a college step show before so I think that that would be an interesting thing to go to. Then after that, we plan on going to the after party in Austin. I don't know which one yet, but whatever it is, we will find it. Then on Sunday of course is my catch-up day tto do my homework and get ready for school on Monday morning. I don't know if my weekend is going to turn out exactly the way I just wrote it,but I'm sure it is not going to be too far from it. I let you know on Monday how it all went down. Have a great weekend everybody and GO BOBCATS!!!!

Not So Good!!!

This morning, I woke up not feeling too well. My nose is acting up nad i have a cough from hell. I believe it's the weather change down here that has me acting the way I am. This is really starting piss me off. One day am as good as a summer breeze, then the next day, I feel like a dying person. I took sme medicine hoping that it would make me feel better,but the only thing that it did was make me feel drowsy. Maybe I should have read the fine print that said "May cause drowsiness" before i took it, then maybe I would not be in the position that I'm in right now. I was t rying my hardest to cooperate in English class today. My nose was running partically the wholw time, then on top of that I had a Sociology test right after that. I could barely think right to take that. Hopefully I got a good grade on it considering that this was the first test that we took in that class. We haven't been turning anything in expect for classwork and that one thing that we turned in at the beginnng of the school year. I don't know how I'm going to act at practice today, and we also have time trials. This is going to be a very interesting day. I will tell you how it all turned out, hopefully not too bad. Or I'm praying not too bad.

Weekend With CoCo

The trip was amazing. I have not seen my best friend in over a month and was more than happy when he came down for the weekend. We went to San Antonio for the weekend. The first thing we did when we got down there is go to some club with his friends. I had so much fun. We were dancing for half of the night. I was so tired when we got back to the hotel, I went straight t o sleep. I didn't even take a shower ( which sounds bad, but it wasn't as bad as it sounds). Then the next morning, we wen tto the mall and went shopping. I spent over $200 in the mall. Then after that, we went back to the room and got ready to go to dinner. We went to the RiverWalk and ate at Boudro's. He order a $20plate and didn't even eat it. He was so mad. Then we wnt to the Alamo and to the Gunniess Book store and made a wax hand. Afetr that we checked out and came back to San Marcos. I' so happy he came down, it just felt like old times having him out here with me. I miss mybest friend so much! LUV YA!

San Antonio Trip

The weekend of the 21st, my boyfriend and I are going to San Antonio for a lilttle school vacation. I really don't know what we plan to do yet, but I know we are definitley going to Fiesta Texas. i have never been to any other Six Flags rather than what use to be AstroWorld. I'm just excited to see what it is going to be about. Iherad from a couple of my friends that they some of the best rides rather than all the other Six Flags. I also know that we plan to o to the River Walk that night. He said that he has something special planned for that night. I 'm so nervous, I don't know what it could be. We have been dating now for almost a year, my mom thinks that he could be aking me to marry him, but I don't know. If he is, how am I suppose to react. I've seen it done in movies and stuff,but never in real life. If he does ask me to marry him, I going to say yes right off the bat ( just in case you were wondering because I know you were). Its going to be kind of weird being engaged my freshmen year in college. I really don't plan to get married unitl after undergraduate, then I plan to have children after grad school. This is going to be an exciting trip. I seriously can't wait. I know I said I couldn't wait for Parent Weekend too,but I have too much going on in October and it all seems to be coming around the corner. Trust me, I'll inform you on details after it happenes.

Are You Ready For The Weekend?

This weekend is Parent Weekend and I'm so excited. My mom, my brothers, my grandmother, and my nephew are all coming down. I'm so excited and can't wait. I really want to see my nephew, he is only 2 years old and loves his "Aunite Toootie" to death. Everytime I go and pick him up, he always tend to glue to me and not my mom. My mom always questions it but I only know the reason why, and that' sbecause he loves me. I also love that my brothers are coming down too because we always act a fool together. We always crack jokes on people and they always make me laugh. I could not ask for better brothers than yhe brothers that I have now. But the one person that I want to see more than anybody is my grandmother. She means everything to me and if it wasn't for her, I never would have made it this far. She has always been the one to keep me going even when my om and I got into that real big fight that one time (not going into any details on that though). I have never met anybody in my life that has such a big heart and is such a caring person like my grandmother. No one will ever such an impact on my life as my grandmother has had on me. So I can't wait for this weekend, its can't get here any slower.

Kristal

The club was amazing. The lights were amazing and the music was the bomb. I had never been to a club like this. Dress code was pretty strict, but it wasn't anything that you really couldn't wear besides do-rags and fitted hats. Me being the true diva that I am, I had to be the one to rock it hard. I had on my tan halter with some dark blue jean shorts and my brown and gold heels with a gold belt and earrings. I had my Vera Wang shades on my head(yea I bet you are wishing you can do it like me but yu can't). It was a certain group of boys that had their own little dance. My friends and I tried to cathc up on it, but itw as difficult. But when "Pop My Trunk" came on, we had the dnae foor all to ourselves. It was so live. Everybody was trying to do our dance, but didn't quite get it. Why you ask, because nobody can do it like we do it. Why you ask again, because there is nobody like me and my group of friends (also know as the R-O-C).

Theater Quiz

My Theater teacher posted our exam grades and I passed. I am so happy. I was so afraid that I didn't pass. He even gave me all 5 points for the extra credit questions that we had to do. Now that I know how to study for that class, I know that i will do good for the rest of test that we have. I'm just so excited about that test, I could brust like a bubble. I really have nothing eles to say but, I DID IT!!!!

Not a Happy Camper

My English teacher was not happy with the class today. Almost half of the class didn't read the assigned reading, so we couldn't continue with the lesson for today. He said that put us a whole day behind. He was not very pleased about that. I kind of felt bad for the people that did read because now we have a day behind our schedule so that other people can play "cath-up". We are in college now, we should have be having to do this. It is out resposiblity as students to do our homework on time so thibgs like this don't happen. Now that we are a day behind, what is our schedue going to look like now? He said that we would be having a quiz next class to make sure that evrybody did their reading. I hope this quiz counts too because I didn't do very good on the firts quiz that we took. I'll admit to myslef, I didn't read the first time. But I hope that all of my class participation and blog entries count for it. I might it migh not, only he can be the jugde of that. But as the title of this blog says, my English teacher was not a "happy camper", and neither am I.

Weekend With Mom

My weekend with my mom was amazing. The funny part about all of it is that we really didn't do anything. All we did was go out to eat, go to Wal-Mart, and watch TV in my room. The whole point I guess is that I wsa with my mom. I really didn't have to do anything, just to sit and talk to my mom face to face and not over the phone made my weekend the best weekend I have had at Texas State. She came up here around 1:00 o'clock and didnt leave unitl about 8:00 o'clock that night. She would have stayed longer, but she had to be at work and 12:00 o'clock the next day. Heck for all I know, she proabaly might have stayed the night. When we went to Chilli's, we had alot of fun. We kept flirtring with our waiter and he actually flitered back. He thought that my mom and I were sisters. All I could do was laugh. Alof of people say that my mom looks very young for her age, which she does, but to think that she was my sister was far beyond believable. My mom has raised toe boys and a girl, for most of her parentinf years and she still looks good ( When I learn how to put pictures on here, you will see what I am talking about). It's really not bad for a 46 year old woman is it? Yea, I know. My mom is coming back up her on October 7th for Parent Weekend and she will be back up here for Homecoming weekend. I have never seen a parent so involved in there college child's school years. Well obviously, they have never had a mom like my mommy. I LOVE YOU MOMMY! MUAH!!!!!

Practice Was Killer

I never thought that I would experience pain that this. Everything hurts except for my teeth and hair. Can you believe it. We had to run 5 laps , do hurdles drills, then run 5 laps again. Oh but thats not all. We also had to lift weights right after that. I was like are you serious? I could not believe that she was doing this to us. I felt like a juvenile deliquint at a boot camp. But now that it is over, I hope and my to God that we never ever have a hard work out like this. Because this was the pain killer of them all. I just got finish typing up my reflective essay for class tomorrow. I think it's pretty good. I mean it was based on true facts and how I was feeling at the time, so what wouldn't it be good. Also the paper was written by me so you know that it has to be the best paper that anybody at Texas State has ever read.

My First College Quiz

I never thought that a quiz would have me this nervous. All throughtout high school, I never had problems taking quizzes or tests, but now that it's college, it has me all up in a twist. Why? It's just a quiz. I guess because all of these things lead up to my future, its kind of like a math quiz depends on my future. I hate this feeling. Why is a simple quiz making my college experience a living hell. My roommate was studying for her Phsycology test yesterday for about 3 hours. She was making my neverous about my quiz tomorrow. I mean is this feeling normal? Am I suppose to be this neverous or should I just relax?

Weekend Madness

I am so so stuck in between a pimp and I hard place. I know I have a boyfriend back at home, so why am I worried about other boys at Texas State. Is temptation knocking on my door or what?It feels like time after time, a boy wants to talk to me but, I know I have a boyfriend in Houston, but the guy is right here next to me. How can I not take this chance and talk to me. Are my feelings over powering my heart. What is really going on? I hate the fact that when I talk to my boyfriend on the phone, I feel as if I have cheated on him when all is do is hold conversations with other guys. The reason I probably feel the way I do is because of the feelings that I hold for these other people. Is there anyway tyo make anyof these feelings go away? I HATE HAVING FEELINGS FOR OTHER GUYS WHEN ALL OF MY FEELINGS SHOULD BE POINTING TOWARDS THE GUY I HAVE BEEN WITH FOR 6 MONTHS. Why is cupid making this so hard for me? Can he just so me mercy for this time being. I have enough going on with school in track on my shoulders. Idon't need Cupid weighing me down any more!!!

SO SORE!!!

The pain feels like it will never go away. From the tip of my back to the end of my quads. Every inch I step feels like someone has just taken their fist and slapped it right on the back of my leg. Practice today wasn't all that bad, we did a couple of 200's then we went to the weight room. I think thats when all the pain started. As I started to lift, I felt myself getting stronger and stronger, but my muscles were getting weaker and weaker. All I kept thinking to myself is "is this pain ever going to be over?". After practice, I felt the need to treat myself for making it another day through practice. I went to the LBJ to grab a pizza and some cinnamon sticks. I sat for a little while to talk to some of the track people, as time went by, my muscles tend to relax, but when it was time to go, they said no. I felt so stiff when I got up, I could barely walk straight. What is wrong with me? Have I outdone myself or is this just a stage of getting stronger?Hopefully it will all wear over because this, this is painful!!!!!

Labor Day Weekend

My Labor Day Weekend was so much fun. I went home onm friday and got home about 9:00. On friday I didnt do anything but watch my nephew for a few housr unitl he fell asleep. I spent most of the day yesterday with my boyfriend, my play brother and his girlfriend. We went to the movies to go see CRANK. The movie was so boring. I wish I could have gotten my money back. Me and my boyfrind got into a deep conversation about marriage and kids. It kind of scared me at first because I didnt think I was ready for that kind of commintment yet, being that I just started college and trying to adjust for being away from my family and friends. As the conversation continued, he made some valid points, but I still needed some more time to think about it and get my head clear. I spent part of Sunday with my mom before she got ready to go to work. Then I took my nephew over to my boyfriends house so I wouldn't be by myself. I chilled and watched SpongeBob. Thry are both some big kids(well my boyfriend and my nephew of course). I hated to have to come back home on Monday. I was having so much fun being around my friends and family. But all I know is when Thanksgiving comes around, oh you better believe that everything is fixing to be on and crackin'!
