One of the Toughest Decisions I've Ever Made



Basketball has always been an important part of my life and I was disappointed when I didn't get a single scholarship offer despite averaging over 12 points and four rebounds in leading Valley to the state playoffs. I'm sure my height had a lot to do with it. I'm not even average height for a guard, but I make up for it with quickness and a shooting touch (35% from three-point range last season).

Plans Change


I was so determined to prove myself that I was going to walk on at DuPont this year. I know that I can play well enough to make the team here. I've watched them practice and I am sure I would be starting by sophomore year, but then what? I'm not good enough for the NBA and it's not like they're scouting DuPont anyway. I decided that instead of busting my butt in this dead end basketball dream, I would just be a normal student (though I'm going to kick some serious butt in intramurals). Besides, the girls at college are hot and I can use the time for socializing.




Sunday is the Day

I can't wait until tomorrow when I get to move down. I've got a week before classes start to deal with orientation and moving in. I wanted to get an apartment, but the dorms are good to. It'll probably make it easier to meet people.

Going Home

Image
  My parents were fine with me staying at college for summer again, but my mom insisted that I come home for a weekend and I agreed.  Now, I love my parents and it was so good to see them.  I certainly don't want them coming down here to visit me and I want them to know that I still want them to be an important part of my life.  Unfortunately, going home meant seeing my sisters Kim and Holly.  Now don't get me wrong, I love my sisters and I always have, but we are close in age and that means competition.  Also, being outnumbered I would often make comments about women just to get a rise out of them.  They are really enjoying having me under Mia and her friends' thumbs at college and I am coming back with a whole bunch of hand-me-downs as well as a few summer dresses we bought on a shopping trip. They had gotten my aunt's old wedding dress and couldn't wait to have me model it and in general they tormented me all 4 days I was home.  I am never going to live any of th

Finals are Finally Done

Image
  Wow, it's been a crazy month between work, Jacob, and school.  However, I finished my last final at 3pm today so we went out for Chinese tonight and to celebrate.  I hate updating this blog on my phone and it's harder still with everybody snooping, but things went well today.  I had two different finals and I aced them both I think.  After we finish eating, we are going to go back to the apartment building and then probably going to a party or clubbing.  I'm voting for drinking back at the apartment.  My last choice is clubbing so that's probably where we'll end up.

Bears 30, Raiders 12

Image
  It's been so humiliating this year having to dress like a Raiders cheerleader for Bears games this year, so excuse me for celebrating a little bit that the Bears laid an ass-whupping on Mia's Raiders. If the Bears had lost, I would have had to wear one of the most humiliating Halloween costumes that I can think of.  I'd like to tell Mia good game, but I can't.  Her Raiders really do suck so instead, allow me to say "Ha! Ha!"
