This week went by so slow, it was unbelivable. I was so excited and ready for conference play on the road. By the end of the day on Monday it felt like it should have been Thursday. When Thursday finally rolled around I was very happy because I didn't have to go to any of my classes on that day. Then it just got worse from there, I forgot my shoes in the locker room. I didn't notice that I left them until we got outside of Shreveport. Maybe it wouldn't been so bad if I had remember them when we got outside of Longview. I had to borrow someone else's shoes, and I was very happy that it was one of my close friends on the team. We wore the same size and everything, she had bought an extra pair.

Well it was game time, and I was very embarrased because I was the only Freshman without the same shoes. I was hoping that the coach would not call a time out, but that was asking too much. Then we lost the game, and on the way to Louisiana from Mississippi, me and this guy on the team got into it over something I don't remember. Then while in Louisiana we lost to a very sorry team, there was no reason why we should have lost that game. I was very ready to come back to school after that road trip. Well hopefully the next long road trip is much better than that, actually I don't think it could get any worse than that.

Today was kind of like a free day because all I had to do was go to school. I did not have any practice, and that is a first in a long time. We had practice on Monday and he said that we could have this day off to pack everything to go on our road trip Thursday and Friday. I am very excited we are leading the ASC right now. We are undefeated in confrence play with the record of 2-0. I hope that we stay undefeated, or at least #1 in the confrence. On Monday I really did go in practice, I think this was the first practice that I was yelled at for doing something wrong. I only had two classes today, but the first one went by so slow while the second one went by fast. You would think that Fine Arts would go by slow, but the only reason why I think that it went by fast is because we watched a video in class.

This weekend was really fun, and I enjoyed the extra day off. That day gave me a chance to catch up with everything and all of my classes. I really did miss my friend this weekend, she went home to spend time with her sister in the hospital. So it was just me, my roommate, and another friend that hung out. Some other people that go to school with us chilled with us also. So all in all this was a pretty good week, and I hope that it continues.

Today started off as a good day. I went to my first class at 9:30 and got out of my last class at 12:00. I went straight home, set my alarm clock, and went to sleep. I really need that nap because I was up on Sunday night until 4 am and last night until 3. I only had a few interruptions during that time, one phone call and my R.A. knocking at my door. When my alarm clock went off at 4:30 I left my room to go and get something to eat. I saw my friends outside so I decided to stand and talk for awhile. After awhile of talking my friend and I went to the cafeteria to get something to eat.

After eating I went down to the gym for practice, that was the first time I have had a 6:30 practice. It started off bad, I went in early for some shoot around I could not buy a basket. Everything I put up was off or short. When practice started the first drill I messed up on. It wasn't a small little error, it was big enough for the whole team to start the drill over. The ball wasn't suppose to touch the floor, and guess what I did? I passed the ball so short that all it hit was the floor. At that point I just know that practice was going to just be worse. When that drill was over we went into shooting, and I really could not make a basket. By the middle of practice it got a little better for me, my shots that I was taking were going in, and I wasn't down on myself as much. At the end of practice it was good. All we did was learn some new plays, and work on some old ones. It was pretty easy, and we also sung happy birthday to Sara Vestfals. So all is well that ends well.
