Complications

I came home to find out when I was going to have surgery. My primary care physician sent me to the UTMB hospital to see Dr. Carenopollys a bone specialist. She took a look at my mri a found no breaks in my bones. So she set me up an appointment to see the doctor that specializes in acl repairs and other sports related injuries. I was hoping to get my surgery this weekend but, he told me to wait until Decemeber when I have a break from school so I don't have to drive back and forth from Houston to Seguin just to see him. That’s a lot of gas only for someone to look at you for a few minutes and say your healing great. I’m missing a lot of school it going to be so hard to catch up from here. I know I’m failing and my gpa is dropping fast. Unless I have an alternate assignment for the Krost essay there’s no way imaginable to make that up. Being home with my family was great but I know if I want to have the slightest chance of passing period I’m going to have to work day and night and also stay at school on the weekends. I’m going back to school this weekend so that’s a plus so I can talk to all of my professors in person not in an email or through other students. Maybe with the short time I have until grades are due I can get something done. Sometimes I just want to come home and just do something simple like work on cars get a job as a mechanic and work my way up to owning my own shop and what not. Then a business class or major wouldn’t be bad to have but, what kind a person would I be if I just dropped out of college when I have a family depending on me and so many siblings looking up too me I don’t want to show them that I’m a quitter because I’m not. It all depends on how things go from here on out but, I don’t think I would drop out of college unless I feel that it just isn’t for me is fun in all and a great experience something just aren’t for others.   

Words of Wisdom

I enjoy talking to a select few of my family members and a lot of my peers. I love to hear their words of wisdom of all people my older brother Kelvin Rice is the person I talk most when it comes to words of wisdom. He always know what to say, when to say it and the right time to say it. I've always tried to figure it out but I never could and I realized what he did. Growing up with my uncles there were only a few wise one. When you're a child and your parents are telling you stories you sit and listen, you don't ask a whole bunch of questions and that's what he did it's also what I did but I didn't realize it at the time. He was older more mature so he understood what the inner meaning of what they were staying when they told their stories. I always thought they were just interesting stories so I sat and listened. I got the chance to go eat , hang out, and catch up with one of my uncles and he told me how my cousin's and I are in common staying on top of our work. He told me how he wished he did that when he was still in school but, he taught me a technique in learning. The grandpa stance when grandpas sit there with their arms folded and LISTEN. Just like we use to do when we were younger it helps a lot if you just sit and listen to your professor you have a question but someone asks it for you. Every now and then I like to share some words of wisdom with my siblings and hope they listen just like I did when I was their age. Some words of wisdom aren't meant to be said out loud like now on a blog or just anywhere in public, it's kind of like one of those what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas type deals. I miss hearing those words of wisdom everyday especially now when I need them the most but, I guess it's just my chance to come up with some words of wisdom on my own like now I've been feeling down because of my grades and my injuries I have felt like giving up school, sports, everything but, I have hope I just have to pick myself up out of the gutter and fight my way to the top.

disappointment

We had a big football game yesturday (10/15/11) and we got deystroyed. It was a big disappointment I was looking for a W after being out for two weeks. Coming out playing hard with the team fighting as one bringing TLU back on the chart showing people that we're a new team and that we can play with the big boys. Nobody thinks we can hang they think we suck they say it's going to be like last year, but they dont know what goes on out of the field yeah they can say the coaches need to do this or the coaches need to play this person but they dont know anything. The coaches always take blame for the any loss that we have they says that they failed to prepare us for the game or a certain situation for the game. Excuse me but I think that's a bunch of bull we prepared two weeks for this past game anything from technique to get off blocks to executing every play to perfection and they say they failed to prepare us. No we as a team failed to execute or job our coaches told us everything we needed to know about the team my defensive line coach told us that we we're going to get held up front every play and we practiced for two weeks the technique to keep from getting held and breaking the hold if we've already gotten held there are no excuses for the we played or the reason we lost. We need to rally up as a team for the next four week and practice as hard as we ever practiced to prevent what happened yesterday afternoon. I was in a program where nobody thought we were any good saying they're going to lose again here's another losing season and as a team we prooved everybody wrong not only we were undefeated in district but it was the first time in over a decade that we had been district champs and made an apperance in the play-offs. I belive that we can do the same with this team GO BULLDOGS!!!!!

Early and Catching Up

Im blogging arly for a change I have a lot of work to do so I just decided to get it out of the way a few big assignment due this coming up week. I have the mid-term I have to get ready for at least to the take home part and study for the open book part im kind of contradicting myself because you dont have to study for an open book test but, it doesnt hurt to look the book over and know where the material is so in a way it's studying. I also have a big three to four page essay for comp. class due on wednesday I have to finish that and make sure I have all of the other materials for the packet the proffesor wants us to turn in. Those are basically the only assignment I have to do this weekend i'm catching up in class very well since my concussion not being able to focus because all of the headaches and chaos happening i'm really getting on top of things. I feel great I get to practice on monday full contact getting ready for the Mcmurry game on saturday its going to be big. My itty bitty family is coming today I miss them so much I know my little ball of muscle is going to try to bite me since he has gotten his new teeth he is so cute. I miss my itty bitty wife to she's so supportive she makes sure I see and talk to my little man when ever I have time to talk, she also sends me video's and picture of she almost every day and she try's her best to work for money to be able to come see me every weekend even though I encourage her not ro come every weekend because of the cost of gas these day but she doesn't listen. She is so stubborn but, one of the reasons I love her hopefully I can focus on my work while they are here because my little man gets angry when he doesn't get his playing time with his daddy and I don't blame him we don't get to each other to often. School is great football is amazing we'll just have to see what the rest of the year brings us.

super later & good side

I am super late on my blog post update i've neve been this late even worse i'm even later on my rough draft for comp class. The assignment was to do a one to two page rough draft on a community its not that im lazy or cant do it I just dont know how to stat it. everytime I take one step forward I take two step back I really dont understand what the professor wants anymore all I can do is turn in the assignment and it be wrong and get critiqued on it rather than not urn in an assignment at all. On the other hand I just got clear to put my pads on and start hitting again I am so happy the team has been doing really well we won the last two games but we need a lot of help on the defensive line thats why im happy that I got cleared. I really need to worry more about school work because without that I wouldnt be able to play because of in eligibility. Im going to try and do all of my work in study hall today I need to straight work and no games I finally got the chance to go home last weekend I surprised my parents because they thought I was on the other side of Texas. They thought the surprise I got them was the football pictures we took before the season and they were looking at the pictures when I walked in the room at first they didnt notice I was I in there. Then my grandma looked up and yell it was the happiest thing you can see I missed them so much and my baby boy finally got his two bottom teeth he looked so cute when he smiled until he bit me on the nose it hurt so bad he's only five months and he's so strong. I scared him one time because he bit me and I yelled and he put on his scared face and started crying he is so cute and I miss him.

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.
