i'm concerned about our men's basketball team. yesterday we played oklahoma and barely escaped another Loss on our record. i thought the devistating loss to texas tech would have set off a fire under us, but it doesn't seem like the case. first off we should've beat tech. aggie mens basketball has the skill and the talent to whip any team out there. i believe our downfall is the mental part of the game. texas tech is purely a mental game for us. tech is not even ranked. we allowed bobby knight to get to us. ags, we can't for one little moment think that the other team has something better than us. when fear is approaching us we have to say I AM AWESOME, MY TEAM IS AWESOME. we've got oklahoma state this wednesday and i want to see us punish them like a #6 team would

out of body experience:

so i went to the rec this morning. i was on the eliptical machine and then rowed for a little bit. i felt like i worked hard and had a little more energy to expend to lift some weights. well i went to the weight room and did two arm machines and then went to my favorite machine the calf raise. so i set my weight to lift 100lbs (a little more than what i would normally do). so all i did was 3 sets of 15 and then i went and sat down at another machine for my legs. as i sat down i felt like my chest was caving in. i started breathing heavy and my ears started ringing. i was like holy crap i'm going to pass out. in my mind i thought i should try to get to the water fountain and to the trash can cause i thought i was going to barf. and if i'm going to pass out i should do it in a place where someone will see to go get me help. so i went to the water fountain grasping each machine to help me get there looking like a crazed fool. i got to the trash can and blacked out - i couldn't hear anything and then my vision went all fuzzy and then wham into the side of the trash can. i came to very quickly - the wall and the trash can gave me a push back into conciousness. so then i drank some water. relief came as i started drinking the water. then i walked like a very drunk person to the locker room to try and cool my body down. my face and skin were splotchy red. after a while i finally felt like i could drive home and then took a cold shower to cool my body down more.
majorly weird morning. i learned two things. i will now bring a water bottle with me when i work out and also i should really reconsider applying to be on survivor.

well, i'm back. thought i'd waste some time before the aggie game and say what's up. i'm doubtfull anyone checks my blog, but - oh well.
i've graduated and i'm so glad i'm not in class anymore. seeing students go to class and stress about school stuff makes me rejoice that i'm not a part of that anymore. i'm working for transit for one more semester so i can make some dough. this last thursday and friday combined i worked 28 hours. transit pretty much lets you work overtime if you are a trainer or a dispatcher. i just happen to be both of those now so i am blessed to recieve that overtime money. this semester i do want to work a lot, but i also will make time for other important things to me. my focus this semester is to take care of myself (in all aspects). we will have to see how that turns out.

thanks to rebecca rich, i am now able to be connected to the internet world. man, do i have a lot of emails to catch up on.
so, yesterday i met my "mentor teacher" for student teaching in caldwell. she is so so nice. she is laid back and a neat freak. i was really nervous about meeting her because i really needed her to be understanding that i have a job and will have to leave by 5pm everyday. the people that are incharge of setting up student teaching aren't so understanding of me having a job. anyway, she was really cool about it. she showed me around the school and introduced me to the other coaches. i start officially on monday - i'm really excited.

oh my goodness, i'm so freak'n tired. i worked 14 hours yesterday and 10 today. whew! i'm bushed. this week i will be moving to a new location. i'm not really a fan of moving, especially when it involves me going up and down stairs countless times in one day. oh well i'll just grunt through it.
for the fourth of july i got to set of fireworks with karen and her folks and cousin. i love seeing fireworks and setting them off. kudos to the inventor.
whoever has stumbled upon this blogg i hope you have a blessed weekend.

oh so sleepy, that's me. working has really been wearing me out these past few weeks. ever since i started training again i am so tired by the end of the day. my initial plan for the summer was to work monday through thursday from 6:30 till 4:00. i can say that the going to work at 6:30 for sure happens but the going home at 4pm is rare. sometimes it turns into like 6 or so. i think the only nice thing about working so much is the paycheck. i however do not like coming home and 5 minutes after i've sat on the couch i'm asleep. i got to come up with a solution for this.
i have really enjoyed training. i think i just have always naturally enjoyed teaching people how to do things that i know enough about to where the person will enjoy something if i give them the foundation for it.
i just had a random memory from my childhood: every saturday was cleaning day at my house. well, when my mom would mop our kitchen she would have me take the chairs from the table to the living room. as i did this i would line them up so that they would be in two lines. then i would go and get all my stuffed animals and put two in each seat and then i would pretend that i was a bus driver and drive them all home. (irony - i love it)

so guess who got up at crazy 3:30 this morning. that's right me. one of the great joys of being a bus driver is at the end of the spring semester we have summer route sign-ups. they are held at 4:00am because they believe that is a time that everyone can show up for. the sign ups are based by senority so i got to sign up fairly quickly and i got all the routes i wanted.

i'm excited about the summer coming. all i have left of school is one class today and then i have 2 finals. thank God.

yay for good friday. i believe it will be a good day. usually on fridays i work from 6:30 in the morning till 6:00pm in the evening (straight). because of good friday i will be enjoying getting up whenever the Lord wants me to, not when the busses want me to. i only have one more obligation for today and then it's survivor night and then good friday. i like having things to look forward to. - i think it's important to have things like that.
