Spring Break is Over.

So I hope everyone had a good spring break! I know I did, i t was very relaxing and I had a ton of fun with my friends from home. The best part about my sprin break is I got to go on vacation to California with my family. My dad lives in Alaska becasue of the military, and my mom stayed in phoenix with my little sister until she graduates and then she will move to Alaska with my dad in May. So since i haent seen my dad since christmas it was really fun to be all together and go on vacation. One of the many things we did in Cali was go to San Diego zoo, I guess I have been there once when i was an infant. So to me it was the first time I have been there and remeber stuff. The zoo was really cool and my favorite part of the day was seeing the polar bears. One was actually swimming in the water and playing with a ball he looked like a big dog i just wanted to jump in and join in on the fun. Anyways, now that spring break is over i hope all of us and focus back in on school and finish out our last six weeks of school strong! Good Luck everyone!

Crunch Time!

So, I know that everyone has probably had a stressful week with all the midterms, projects and such. At least I know I have had a rough week. Therefore I decided to keep my blog low key and something that wouldn’t require much more thought from my worn out brain.

The one thing I thought would be easy to write about is the cliché “everything happens for a reason” as I am learning that the hard way right now. STORY TIME. For weeks I have been preparing my application to be an RA over the summer since I have to take a summer school class. I finally got the cover letter ready, my letter of recommendation (which I had to go down to phoenix to get) and everything else. I have pretty much had it ready all week except for a few little things. To make a long story shot I thought it was due Friday and when I was about to turn it in today I looked down and noticed it was due yesterday by five pm. With everything else going on I broke down and could believe how irresponsible I was. I called my mom and told her what happened expecting her to be disappointed with me instead she told me that wonderful phrase “everything happens for a reason.” As I sat around in thought about, things might be better if I wasn’t in Flagstaff all summer. Since my family is in Alaska I can go lie with them for free take my class and visit my grandma over the summer like I promised her. So my lesson I learned is that I will pay closer attention to dates next time and be more responsible. Has anyone else ever made stupid mistakes like me?

Sports Profanity

Earlier this week I was having a relaxing night, and decided to get on myspace (typical teenager) and was searching through my friends pages. When I came across my roommate’s page her quote made me chuckle so I decided I would write about it.

The quote was by Gordie Howe, a famous hockey player. He said “Professional athletes are bilingual; they speak both English and profanity” this made me laugh because in my opinion it is so true. I think it’s true with not only professionals but any competitive sports. For example, like I said in my first blog I have played soccer competitively for a majority of my life and when you practice over 30 hours a week and come game time you make stupid mistakes. It seems like some kind of a curse word, or one related, comes out of mine or my teammates mouth. So I couldn’t agree more with Gordie Howe, especially since professional games are played in front of thousands of people so you’re also worried about being humiliated. I also think that the quote can be interpreted in another way, part of sports is the rivalry and the talking crap that comes with it. I think that talking crap to the other team not only gets you pumped up, but it also puts on a show for the audience.
