Temptations - Hmmm many things have been tempting me lately, such as potatoes! I use to hate potatoes with a passion. The only thing I use to eat that had anything to do with them were french fries, and hash browns. Now I just want to keep eating potatoes! For the past week or so, my diet has consisted of McDonald's French Fries (gotta be the salt), BW's Potato Skins, BW's Potato Wedges, Lay's BBQ Chips, and Boston Market's Red Potato Skins. I don't know what's going on with my non-stop carb craving lately. Yet not exactly the best diet, but man so good.
What else was tempting tonight, b-ball @ the Rec Center. I was sooooo close to playing, so close that I was shooting, and dribbling around. I started to test my injuries and I could feel it not being too good. I was literally grinding my teeth, when Kristyn was playing with the brotha's and one of them cheap shotted her. Frustrating, uh yes indeedy that I can't go out there and do something. Tonight, we also had the Co-Rec B-ball meeting and now I'm running with Kristyn's team, Darko's Fan Club. Don't ask me bout the team name, G made that one up. I am really tempted to jump off the IL early so I can play in the season opener this Sunday. I keep telling my body, to heal!!!!!!
Anyways, time to go to bed because I'm gonna procrastinate my EED470 homework for later. Plus Monica is gonna call me @ 6:00 a.m. to make sure I do not oversleep and forget to do my homework.

WWJD - A lot of times I can imagine how Jesus would handle a situation. Other times I'm left scratching my head of how he would do something. At work on Saturday, this customer comes in and demands free sauce for stuff. Long and short of it, Mr. Novak thinks he owns the place just because he 6'2 and big, and round and can intimidate me, psh please. We stared down each other, until my mommy pulled me away. He had to loved me punching my fist into my hand, signaling if he wants to step outside. Anyways, I got the name and next time since he is a regular customer you can bet his total will go up because of my new "stupid" tax that I charge on people.
After talking to Dr. Steve, I have officially put myself on the IL due to ligament damage in my ankle. In addition, I also got some cartiledge damage in my knee causing me to run funny. I'll have to get that re-eval in a week, to see if I need to get another MRI. You can bet I'll be grinding my teeth the next 2 weeks seeing others play. Oh well, at least I get to do some light workouts to strengthen my ankle back. 2 weeks seem so long, please help me keep accountable to this.
I saw the tentative schedule for Jr. Church right now, and for now I only get a 3 month break as I'll be teaching from May all the way to the end of '05. There is a possibility as well, that I'll be actually teaching the next quarter due to a shortage of teachers which means no breaks for me for '05. Now that I got this cool MovieMaker thingy on my PC, I am trying to work on a ministry opportunity cd. However, it seems like everyone is serving these days and I don't want to ask anyone because I don't want them to be burned out either. Although, this is a great ministry and to teach the future leaders of CBC. I love my lil girl, Hannah I believe by far she has the cutest smile @ CBC, she reminds of Punky Brewster or something. Anyways, I need to trust in Him that He will provide teachers for this ministry and at the same time, supply me with strength throughout the duration of my teaching quarter.

1st Impressions - So the 1st week of Winter semester is over and I got a chance to go to all my classes. So far everyone stands correct, EED 470 with Hruska just flat out sucks. I am doing my best to keep an open mind, but it is hard when you print out a 28 page syllabus. I won't even get into the rest of the handouts that we have to print out. My printer is still suffering from a heart attack from that. This lady must think this is the only class we are taking or something. Carl warned me today, but I think it is too late as I am on her bad list now. She didn't like it when I talked back to her and eventually she ignored me. Yet everyone in the rest of the class thought I had very good questions about why things are being done the way they are. In addition, my attitude towards the class showed as well. Since she didn't respond to me anymore, I just put a couple of rolling chairs together, and just laid down reading the syllabus. It sucks because Social Stuides is like my favorite subject, yet I got her as a prof. Man it's gonna be a long semester here, but I am thankful for Monica, Erin, Amanda, Jessica, and Annette in the class with me. Come to think of it, can't be too thankful as Prof. Hruska picked our groups for our projects. What a coincidence that out of 22 people, none of my peeps are in my group.
On the flipside though, I love EED 302 & 305! Katie and I are both lab partners for both classes! Both prof's are cool too because they actually give us work that is more related to our program as well. Plus they cut down on all that BS reading we have to do. EED 302, we have partners for our midterm and I was paired with Kristen! Man, Kristen and I go way back since our days at Davis Jr. High. This is our first class together @ OU since our Junior year @ Stevenson. She was one of my first friends when we started @ Davis, never forget it too because she sat next to me in our Science class. So, my first impressions on Prof. Zepplin and Crowder is 2 thumbs up!
I am taking PS 115, but won't get into it as I am still trying to feel the prof out. He does make the class interesting though. What's up with the bowtie too?
Bummer, Kobe got hurt and seeing him go down reminds me that maybe I too should get an MRI done to see if I did any ligament damage as well. Oh yeah, exciting part of the day I got my first piece of mail in my mailbox in the OU IM Staff room.

Newton's Law - Man what a humbling moment I experienced tonight. What a good lesson of Physics too, I just drilled this ball as hard as I could. The plan, to blow this ball as hard as I could through 2 blockers. Nope, they roofed me bad, straight down right into my mouth. The ball came flying right back there and caused my lip to bleed because of the quick reaction of the ball's velocity pushing my teeth into my upper lip.
So tonight, I went to my first OU IM Staff meeting and I got to meet everyone else. Not as if I didn't know everyone already though. I walked in, and V thought I was in the wrong room. Then Gary announced it to everyone that he has hired me to help out and V was excited and gave me a big hug. I already told Kristyn earlier this morning about me working with her. So my main function is to run the IM V-ball section, and help out with b-ball as well. Pretty weird too, because V and Kristyn are both my Supervisors. I got my Campus Rec Staff shirt today too, yuck a button shirt. However, I do get my own mailbox and as Gary mentioned earlier to all of us, it is great to be apart of the OU IM Rec Staff.
As I was filling my planner out, I also realized how routine some things are to me. So another challenge was added for me this semester. Yup, I got another job today so I now work at the restuarant, student teach at Magahay, OU IM Staff, and now I was hired today to work at Cranbrook as well to teach science. OU requires us to have so many Science teaching hours and my old hours don't count so I need to do a new one. So today, Monica and I signed up, and now we'll be working together on Wednesday morning teaching Science to all the different schools coming in for field trips. What would be cool is running into CBC peeps at Cranbrook! One of my major benefits are that I am able to bring whoever I want to Cranbrook for free. It is a really cool place too because I always taking my ACA kids there. So 4 jobs that I got now, life don't get any better than this right? I just don't get how people complain about their job after graduating because you should be doing something you enjoy which makes it fun. I mean did some people go for the wrong major or something? I look forward to the challenge and really gotta rely on His strength as well. This semester should be fun, I am doing the things I love other than playing, that is teaching kids, and working with athletics.
