One Week!!!

So, I'm at home right now working on the URI Student-Athlete Handbook on a Saturday night... Loves It! Ya, I really don't do too much as you can see. Haha. Well, the handbook is my internship for the semester. I did it last year too. I have to create the handbook, type all the NCAA Rules in it, URI rules, academic info, tutoring, student services on campus, leadership opportunities, and anything else that has to do with student-athletes. It’s a lot of work, but I do enjoy doing it.

Its spring break this week!!! I was supposed to go to North Carolina with my teammates, but, unfortunately, that didn’t happen. BOOOO. I was already to go, had my clothes packed, and negative : ( I told them to go without me. My best friend wasn’t too happy because I told her I would go, but I needed to wait on some things. I felt really bad because now I wished I went with her and my other teammate. They’re having a blast though. I’m happy they are!  I guess everything happens for a reason. I decided to stay and prepare myself for my first meet on Saturday, March 24^th! It’s my first meet since Outdoor 2005. That sounds so long ago! I’m just so thankful to have the opportunity to compete another season. I’ll be running the 4x100, 200m, and 4x400. Can’t wait! I never ran a fresh 200 ever. I always ran the 400 before it. So, I’m super excited!

Today, I went shopping to buy some teacher clothes for Texas. YAY!!! Oh man, it was fun. I have to buy some pant suits and some pretty shirts, but that didn’t happen today. I think when I went shopping, I realized that I was actually about to become a teacher and teach my own real classroom. I was really excited, but so nervous because I really want to do well. So, I just brought a cute brown button down shirt and just looked at everything else. I decided to continue shopping another day.

SOOOO…. Tomorrow, I’ll continue shopping. HAHA. I decided to go to Wrentham Outlets and buy some clothes. It’s much cheaper than the mall. Plus, I get to go to NIKE & PUMA!!!! Gotta buy some more track clothes, even though my team could testify that I definitely don’t need anymore. I could spend money on track clothes everyday. I just loves them!

How am I spending my spring break…?

Well, I’ll be working everyday and volunteering at the middle school I tutor and mentor at. I love those students!!! Also, I’m going to volunteer some of my time in the soup kitchen in my community. I love giving back anyway I can. It always brings a smile to my face when I’m helping others. I know if I was in their position, I would want the same thing. Actually, I was in their position when I was younger. My mom, my brother and I lived in a shelter and we had to eat in soup kitchens in the area. I remember how nice the people were, who worked there, was to us. Therefore, every time I volunteer, I’m just so happy to be there and I love having convos with everyone who comes. It’s such a great experience. Hopefully, they realize that just because you had a rough past or a hard present, doesn’t mean you can't have a better future. They’re regular people just like us and I really dislike when people treat them like they aren’t. I hope and pray they get themselves together one day because it’s possible : )

Also, I’ll be working out everyday and preparing myself for SATURDAY. I can’t believe it’s almost here!

Well, I just wanted to make a lil entry before I laid my head down and rested my lil eyes. If anyone has any questions for me, e-mail me at xkewlrunnings42x@aim.com and I’ll have like a blog entry of answers to your questions.

It could be called, ASK DES A QUESTION DAY! Haha :  ) I loves questions. So you can ask me ANYTHING!

I'll def tell yall a lil about my training last week. I kinda shocked myself... Stay tuned!

Ok, I’m definitely tireeeeed. Haha. So, EVERYONE be safe tonight and sleep well. Sweet Dreams!

**Quote of the Week**

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow, it will split in two and I know it was not that blow that did it - but all that had gone before.

I'm giving you the easy path because, you're so straight ahead. Biochemistry is my thing. I can see body chem.
anyway, ur best efforts when rested you probably unwittingly assumed all the proper form. you can maintain it longer if you know what it is. Bottom line. If you keep ur toes up and i do mean up ur bod will continue to produce the running reflex. Its a nero-reality. If the toes come down, you go into stoppage, rest, relaxation. Its one of those nero-buttons. I'm sure there's a biochemical corresponding response. Not important. Push the right button and you get the right response. nuff said.

I am reminded of song lyrics a lot. Stevie Wonder: No one can keep me from my destiny.
Olivia Newton John: Destiny will arrive, and make all your dreams come true. For you.

Thanks for the comment! All in all, the indoor season wasn' that bad and I accomplished a lot. Now, it's time to build on that success and make up for it in outdoors. Good luck to you in your outdoor season!
