Apologies and Injuries

I like to apologise for not blogging on time and blogging so late. During the awsome game we had on the 17th against East Texas Baptist University im must have gotten my intense injury when I got my intense penalty. I have a concussion its not real bad like everybody else's concussion on the team. I just have severe headaches and im very sensitive to sunlight. It's my first concussion and it's something I never want experience again. my headaches get worse throughout the day and lately I have found it harder and harder to concentrate in class this weekend I knew I had alot of assignments to do but I couldnt remember what assignment was due in what class or when it was due. Im kind of behind but im trying to catch up now on all of my school work as we speak I cant really concentrateon the computer screen because of the light it's hard to think, I cant do any physical activity, and thta's basically one of my classes weight training. I have so much to do in such little time study for exams, finish rough drafts before due dates, readings its so stressful. I talked to a doctor about my situation and they are just going to wait until im completely symptom free before they run some tests to see when I can suit up and start hitting again. Nothing I take helps with the headaches it takes forever to kick in and when it does it doesnt last long. There is no telling when im going to get better it seem like the pain and my condition gets worse everyday. I just hope I get better and soon because this feeling is so intense and I dont know what to write for the rest of this blog. Im just going to try and get better rest up, try to relax, not worry to much about class work or everything else that stresses me out.

This Past Week

This past week has been very exciting as far as having work done and acutually having my first test. We also had a game like every week but this week we played a very tough team that was ranked like 7th in the nation last year but first im blog about my classes and save the really intersting part last. School work was pretty fair just the same old reading and comprehending, building up on the steps to write my first paper. I dont really like reading or writing and in highschool we never really learned how to read and comprehend. I  wish they would have put more work in that area to almost like force us to learn how to look for the inner meaning of the text.Now that im in college we do a lot of this stuff and I feel like im kind of behind because I cant find or see the thing in the text I need see to understand and be on the same page as the class. That will all come easy soon or later I had my first test in class on thursday in math I got a 75 on it that pretty good I guess for the first test but I know I can do way better. Math is my strongest subject the material we are learning now I did in high school and I was passing with flying colors, but it's the way my teacher teach that is throwing me off but I know I can get back on track and pass this class with flying colors again. This past week we played East Texas Baptist University we beat them last year but the score was really close I think like by three points I think they were ranking 7th in the nation last year. they were really heated due to the loss to us last year so we knew they were coming to get us big time. They were winning at half time 14 to 0 but in the second half we turned the heat up and came back and won the 44 to 34 it was a major upset because a lot of people thought we were going to lose this time but we proved them wrong. I'm really looking forward to see what this week brings maybe more test and more upsets I guess we'll just have to find out at the end of the week.

first weeks in college

My first two weeks here at TLU was a rush it was nothing but football practice. The first week was practice and then bootcamp it was very tiring alot of conditioning, but I stuck in there. Every two days we added more pads first helmet and shorts, next helmet shoulder pads and shorts, then full pads it was really tough. On top of that being dehydrated and going to the hospital having my family worried about me. They missed me alot for as much they missed me I missed them twice as much. My wife came up to visit me on the first week, and the second week my mom, dad, brother, and grandma brought my baby boy down to see me. It felt so good to see them again I missed them so much it made me feel better about being up here then school started. I had classes, football practice, tons of  homework I was starting to doubt weather I can handle the work load, but i stuck in there and im handling it very well. We just had our first football game most of my family came to see me play it felt good seeing them again. I got pretty banged up in the first half but I kept fighting for my team. We won the game 31 to 28 it felt good winning it was also the time we went one and zero in a few years so we have a little more support from the school and community. Everyone thinks we're going to have a bad season because of the past few years but we are going to turn it around this year. The following day I spent the most time that I can with my family before they headed home. Now it's time to get back in gear and get focus on my school work and also getting ready for next weeks football game. Myfamily plan on being at every home game that we have and I hope they bring more and more of my family each time they come to a game we need as much support as we can get. I cant wait to see what else TLU has to offer me as far as learning people skills, getting involed, getting the best education ever im looking forward to alot.
