Half way done!
31. October 2008 14:15
Well it has been awhile since I’ve wrote anything. Good news is that I’m still alive and school has and is half way through the fall 08 semester. Things have been going pretty good for me I suppose. Classes are going ok except one or two because they are not my field of study nor I have none interest in them. I’m still working for admissions being a tour guide which I love to do except I don’t do it as often as I used to compare to last semester. I’m also working as a RA in one of the residence hall. I’ve enjoyed being a RA because I get to know my residences and hang out with them as well. The weather here is finally started to get cold a little bit which is nice since I love that type of weather. Sports…well the football season is almost over and I hate to say this but we have had a rough season and just about everybody on the team is ready to get it over with. Intramural volleyball is fixing to start and I’m looking forward to that consider I am not able to play intramural football. Other school sports such as swimming and volleyball are doing really well in their conferences but just like football the soccer team is struggling a little bit as well. Basketball is fixing to start as well here and they are expected to do really well this year and I hope they do as well. Not to long ago was homecoming and being in Ko Sari and meeting the alumni that once was in Ko Sari was a neat experience. I also met alumni that attended here as far as 1940 which was really cool. Homecoming overall was a success, as far as having alumni on campus as well as future students. Well that is all I have for now until next time
Still Summer

Folks I’m back, that time again to write a blog. Like usual things hasn’t change much except the weather. It’s
gotten really hot compared to what it usually is, I guess people can
say it’s because of all that global warming stuff, and it’s also really
humid here because it has rained a lot; not one of those all day storms
just a hit and run storm. I’m still working in admissions
for the school, today is a different day though because I get to fill
in the front desk. Yes! Well not really that excited about it but hey
it’s not too bad I guess better than filing all day, and plus there
isn’t any tours for the day which makes it not as fun. Summer
school is almost over and that’s coming along really well so far I have
like a really high B and I just aced my test from Thursday so I think I
can pull an A in that class which is awesome considering I’m not that
great at science most of the time. Then after I dominate
that class I move on to Summer II and I’ll be taking a history class
but I really enjoy history so that class should go pretty smoothly. My normal week on average goes class, work, workout and sleep. And
of course there is food between all of that, but so far that’s what my
summer has been like, I did go home last week to see family and
friend’s I had a blast, went to the lake two days in a row, also had a
kicking camp that I helped out with and it was amazing to see kids that
I have seen kick before improve so much and as well as other college
kickers showing up to help out and having the opportunity to kick
against them in a competition which was fun as well. Now
I’m back to a normal week, I do plan on doing that more often as far as
going home and go to the lake as long as the budget allows that. Gas
isn’t cheep either for those things, stinking gas, just thinking about
gas upsets me because it’s way to expensive and it should be a lot
lower than what it really is. Anyways folks that’s pretty much it for now, until then.
Summer Life
6. June 2008 16:06
Well folks it’s me again, summer is underway and it’s hot! It feels like it’s over 100 outside but in all reality it isn’t but that’s Texas. Summer I has started and I’m taking good ole biology. Being
a history major I’m not the biggest fan of science because you’re
always looking for the answer when in history the answer is already
there which makes life a lot simpler. In July Summer II
will start and that’s when I’ll be taken a history class which is over
the U.S. in World War Era , I’m looking forward to that since my
professor who I have had before, is a good professor who knows his
stuff! Sports wise, things have finally calm down here at
McMurry which isn’t always a good thing because it was nice to have
sports and events going on now everybody is out and about. Although
I’m just a kick I still workout as much as possible and if there is a
possibility of me playing wide receiver then I want to be in the best
shape as possible for that job but I do plan on kicking regardless
unless something were to change. Work wise, I’m still doing the tour
guide as well as being a summer ra. I do miss my old job considering it always kept me busy as well as paid very well. Other than that there isn’t much to say; so folks until next time.
McM Summer

Summer has arrived and things here at McMurry have changed a great deal. I finished up the semester with the not so loveable finals, but the finals turned out to be not to bad I went out with a bang, knowing that I did good even though I only studied for one of the test, I mean I did look over my notes but not study hardcore. Football wise, we finished up spring ball which turned out to be not as bad as I thought it was going to be. One awesome thing that did come from that is the fact that I got to play wide receiver, so I came out of retirement to school some of our defensive backs and which made practice go by a whole lot better. Then I would go workout after work in the afternoon’s and kick, but as far as the wide receiver goes I can chose to play next season.As far as special events goes, McMurry’s baseball team was the number one team in conference and therefore we got to host the conference tournament here at Driggers field. The team did end up finishing first which made them the conference champions and they are currently in the process of hosting the regional tournament. Now that school is out, not a lot of people stayed here in town. More people are expected to return around June to start summer school. One of the reasons why I stayed was because they hired me to be a summer ra and to continue to give tours to students and when June rolls around as well I too will take summer school so my plans are semi busy for now, and of course the friends that did stay here as well I’m constantly over at their house all the time unless I’m on duty.For the extracurricular activities, being a member of Ko Sari we won’t meet again as a club until school starts back but there is some stuff underway and it is like that I’m sure for all the other clubs as well. Intramurals came to an end as soon as finals started. So for now McMurry is a little quiet and resting up for next year’s freshman class, also it feels good to never be a freshman ever again. Well that’s about it.
Busy once more
20. April 2008 19:35
Well folks I know it’s been awhile since I’ve wrote but consider this one a make up for last week and this coming week. Things here at McMurry have been crazy since spring break. I guess I’ll cover what’s happing academic wise. Well
nothing actually school is school, doesn’t change much except finals
are quickly creeping up on all of us students here, but we shall be
ready. FYI I had all A’s in every class during mid terms but I seriously doubt it stays that way but I will try. Sports
wise, football has started spring ball, practice starts at 5:45 in the
morning and yes the kicker is still require to go which isn’t cool at
all, but I did come out of retirement and play some receiver all I got
to say is, I still can some moves left in me. Overall I know we are getting better and should be able to show it come next season. Social Clubs have been really active this semester and new members are really into it as well. Last weekend we the 50th annual T.I.P (T.I.P is a women’s social club) Sing Song. Sing Song is where each club must sing and dance to two songs of their choosing. Ko
Sari did Bust a Move, and Tricky which happen to earn us the Best Stage
Presence award which is really good, it’s almost like 2nd place in my books. Gamma
Sigma (GS is another women’s social club) had their annual field day as
well, in which the clubs competed in events like egg throwing, water
balloon throwing, three legged races and stuff like that. Just so
happens KS got second and there were only 5 of us so that is pretty
good. Now this coming weekend is even better. All the older clubs are having their banquets in which I’ll be attending which I’m really excited! The
first one I’m going too is the Delta Beta Banquet which is on Friday
with a beautiful girl, Saturday is also the T.I.P Banquet, beautiful
too, and Sunday is the Ko Sari Picnic. At the picnic we eat some good
brisket, play volleyball and have a good time of course since it’s a
picnic. Also on that same Saturday as one of the banquet is Spring McMaddness/McFeista. Its
where you go play games, jousting, those blow up things that kids get
in, free food and drinks, live music, all of that will be here at
McMurry it’s just a great way to release stress right before finals. Summer
is coming quick, I’m staying here at McMurry to take some summer
classes, give tours as well, and hang out some awesome friends as well. Summer is going to a little different since this is the first summer here in Abilene. I’m kind of glad even though Stephenville is nice and all but I think I might actually enjoy. Until next time.
