Tomorrow we're headed out to Vegas. I cant wait. Ive never been to Vegas and even though I cant really enjoy eveything thats going on in Vegas im going to enjoy my time out there and we are going to handle business. Game sunday against UNLV.

Last Game!

Ok last game was very interesting. We started off very slow and the game was close the whole first half but once the second half started we were on a role. We were only up by 12 at half time and ended up winning by 30+.

Long Day!

Today has been a long day! I had a 6:30 this morning for being 2mins late to class on friday. Then I thought I lost my wallet. I didnt sleep well so I been mad tired all day. Then Practice was hell. Another bad practice. Just cant wait to take my anger out on somebody other than my teammates. Weds game day!

GAME DAY

Ok so im amped up, cant sit still in class just ready to get out of class get some breakfast in my system and rest! Pregame meal today at 230 at the cheesecake factory! Cant wait. I hope to c some faces in the stands for our game tonight at 7!

Game

Tomorrow is a game day! First real game of the season! I cant wait. The exhibition games were fun but im ready for the real deal.

UGLY!

Its been so ugly outside these last couple of days! I dont like it. Its cold and I hate when its cold. Its raining and stuff. Im so ready for the winter to be over and it hasnt even started yet! :(

Crazy day!

Today has been a long drawn out day and im just so ready to hit the sheets. So thats what im about to do. I hope I do well on this test tomorrow.

HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my first halloween in Chapel Hill was pretty great. I had the craziest experiece ever. I got to franklin street like around 1130 and from that point on it was crazy. I seen some of the craziest costumes and people ever. I dont think any where else would I have seen anything like this.

Tired!

Today has been a pretty long day. I havent been in my room all day cant wait to leave here and take a nice long shower and get some sleep. 6am Practice tomorrow. Need to get alot of rest.

Basketball Season!!!!

Basketball season is here and games are just around the corner. I can wait. My first couple weeks of practice was crazy but now I cant wait until the games begin. I hope to see you guys there.

Burch Fellowship

The Burch Fellowship past winners talked a lot about global issues. Things like service based projects and building up the communities in other countries. These winners didn’t really speak on issues going on in the United States but more on issues that can be fixed or made better in other countries by people in the United States. They talk about poverty and how people are starving and the economics are really bad. The health care is not as updated as ours and they don’t have the medicine and other things we have here in the United States.
With the information I read on the website I thought of many different ideas that I could possibly write about. One thing I thought about writing about is Washington DC in general. But some smaller issues that are happening in Washington DC are issues like HIV and AIDs, Drug use and dealers, Rapes, and Poverty. I was thinking about writing about how these things can be fixed, or how this can be stopped from spreading in this area. One way the dramatic rise in HIV and AIDS rates can be slowed is to get people to be tested. Educate the students starting in the high schools. Motivational speakers would help a lot as well. Drug dealing and use has always been a problem in the Washington Dc area and no one really knows how to stop it but it needs to be stopped. I cant quite pinpoint what could be done but it has to be something.
Another idea I came up with is the crack cocaine law, and how its not fair the amount of time you get for selling crack than you do for cocaine when its all the same drug. This could be stopped by the government giving equal time sentences. Some people who sale crack go to jail longer than some killers. So the sentence needs to be reduced.
The last idea I came up with was Traffic in the city areas like New York, Washington Dc, Chicago, and other major cities. I think if the speed limits were raised there would be less traffic, less accidence, and fewer tickets rewarded for speeding. These are some ideas that came to mind when reading over the Burch Fellowship website.

Practice tomorrow at 6AM

Tomorrow we have practice at 6am. Im pretty pissed. I have to be at the Dean Dome at 5 for rehab and things like that. Im not ready for this. The one good thing thats going to happen in my life tomorrow is that I get to go home. I cant wait.

First Couple Practices!

Practices have been ok. They have been a learning experiences. Its very different from high school. They expect you to learn things so quick but im getting the hang of it. I just cant wait until the games start.

Late Night w/ Roy!

OMG! it was sso great! my first midnight madness was very interesting, I had a great time, I just wish we would have had a little more time. Our dances were crazy. I hope everybody enjoyed it!

RAIN!

I really hope it rains tomorrow. Ive had a long week and its only tues. Tomorrow will be such a good day if it rains and knocks some things off my list of things to do. Im so tired. Please Please Please rain. Rain rain come today dont leave until thurs.

Movies!

Yesterday a couple of my teammates and I went to see Paranormal Activity. The movie was suppose to be scary but it really wasnt. We laughed thoughout the whole movie it was a couple scary parts but not many at all. But after the movies this random guy came up to us and was talking about the movie as we attempted to walk off he followed us and continued to talk about the movie. It was pretty funny u had to be there to witness it.

Long Weekend!

This weekend has been pretty long. I had a friend come visit. Went out to the movies with some of my teammates and the football team came out of the drought that they have been in. Now its the start of a new week.

PAIN!!!!

Today is the day after I hurt my shoulder, im in more pain than before. Doctor at 11. I hope everything is ok. I will be positive. I know everything is ok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning Joe: John McCain

My group chose to analyze the Morning Joe clip with John McCain. Morning Joe was hosted by Joe Scarborough. This interview with John McCain happened around the end of the presidential election. These two men were both republicans. The argument in this clip was about vetoing the pork barrel projects.
John McCain wants the bill vetoed because this will only put the country on the brink of econmic disatster. He feels it is a waste of tax payers money. McCains plan will provide profit because taxpayers will be paid back first. This is a good idea but he does not explain himself. McCain does not discribe how the tax payers wil be paid back or how he is going to help the tax payers period. He also doesn't explain how he will be able to eliminate these problems.
Joe Scarborough is asking questions using evidence from the Bush administration. He talks about the deficits and spending bills that Bush used. He also talks about what must be done to change whats bring the country down.
This clip was very long and was also kind of hard to understand.

Tomorrow is the big day! im headed back to VA. Cant Wait!!!!!! This week has been ok not to much pain just cant wait to go home and see some of my friends and My fam!

The Weekend!

Long weekend! I hope everyones was very fun an adventurous. To start it off some of the team and I went to the alumni game and seen Vince Carter put on a show. Seen MJ and the other NBA and Professional male basketball players that went to Carolina. Next was the football game, CRAZY. Congrats to the football players in our class. We didnt stay the whole game because you guys were up by so much at half we left. So that was the most entertaining part.

Sunday night I cooked dinner for my roommates. Always fun. NOT! But I was starving so I just cooked for everyone. Then Monday we slepted most of the day. Had to get ready for class Tues.

PICTURE DAY!

Yesterday was picture day! Im sorry I couldn't blog about it yesterday but just get use to everything I talk about on here being a day late. So yesterday was picture day and I hate taking pictures. We took so many pictures it was crazy. We had to take pictures as a group then individuals then action shots. How crazy is that. But it was all worth it. Now the freshman will have a place to sign in the media guide. All summer we had to sign in blank places because we didnt have a picture on posters or in the media guide. My team always makes everything fun. We're always joking around and having a good time no matter where we are. I hope it continues to be this way for the next for years.

PICTURE DAY! Yay! Lol

Today is Picture day for the 2009-2010 media guide. I'll Let everyone know how that goes! EXCITED!!!!

Today in study hall!

Today in study hall I finally met my mentor/tutor. Her name is Liz and she's pretty funny! She loves to talk and likes to keep busy. I wasnt talking enough so she continuously asked me was everything ok. My assignments weren't that hard so I guess she was kinda bored with me, but my teammate Chay Shegog kept her busy asking her for help every fiive minutes. Then eventually she calmed down. Study hall went by kinda fast today but 7-9 everyday is dreadful!

First day of Pre-season workouts!!!!!

Ok so yesterday was the first day of pre-season conditioning, I meant to blog about it then but didnt get around to it so i'll talk about it today. It really wasnt as bad as thought it would be but it was bad enough. We got out of running the mile at 7am because it was raining. Then after class the HELL began. Sike. We went in the weight room for about 45mins and got a good lift in. My teammates made it fun some of them were singing and others danced. A couple tried to be serious because the coaches were there but the laughing made it go by a lot quicker. After the weight room we headed back to the gym for some conditioning and pick-up which wasn't bad at all. We played some games and called it quits. I hope all the days are like this but I know it will eventually get harder. I keep you guys posted.

The Weekend!

So this weekend me and a couple of the other freshman on the wbb team went out and had some fun. We tried to get some of the upper classmen to come out with us but they really didnt want to be bother with the babies of the team. I guess. I hope all the freshmen here at Carolina The weekend went by real fast hopefully next weekend will be just as fun. Time to get back to the books. STUDY HALL tonight at 7. :(
