Olympics fan, yes I am

    Well the Olympics have been going on for awhile (yes I know that), but I just thought I would say my interests in them. I actually honestly enjoy the Olympics. The events I enjoy watching are Swimming, Diving, and Gymnastics. In swimming yeah I'm rooting for Michael Phelps (I actually have his autograph in my room). Really bummed that this is his last year competing, but its awesome how he has 22 gold medals!! In Diving I'm Watching Nick McCrory since he is from Durham, North Carolina (where I went to get treatment for so many years, so always a fan of athletes from there. Also in the Diving, I'm watching, and rooting for Tom Daley, he's honestly a talented diver for his age. (have an autographed copy of his book lol). Gymnastics I'm not watching anyone in particular, but my cousin grace is a factor of why I watch them, as well as the Television show series "Make it or Break it". 

    I also purchased this Great Britain shirt to show my support (Yes I root for Great Britain, and USA, deal with it lol). Its a replica of the Team great Britain's jersey, and honestly I cant wait for it to arrive!

    Also I have been collecting the Topps Olympic 2012 hopefuls trading card series (have all but 8 cards our of 100!!) even have two authentic hand signed autographed cards. those were fun to collect and learn about all the athletes, hope to complete my set.

Who you are

    People say that "beauty is beneath the skin" however, in todays time honestly not many people see it that way. Most people are judged by their looks, and honestly thats just not right. The most beautiful of people can easily be just as shallow, and as for the people who don't look like many think they should, are usually the nicest of the people. Now don't get me wrong I know thats not always the case lol.
    We are always trying to better ourselves I think. Maybe trying to fix, or alter our appearance (Honestly I think everyone has something that they would like to change about themselves if they could, I know I do lol). Maybe trying to excel more at certain sports, or get in better shape. Sometimes we even try to alter ourselves for someone else. However, you can't let someone send you spinning backwards just because they don't like who you are. If you are happy with who you are, how far you've come, and all that you have accomplished, well thats all that really matters. I don't think that you should ever hold yourself to another persons standards. Its your life not theirs.

Achilles Heel

    We all have a our own greatest weakness, something that if used against us we will fail. Mine? I believe its my loyalty to my friends, I trust the people I care about probably far too much, and that will probably be my downfall at times (already has actually). Other peoples greatest weakness could be a strong fear they have, like fire, the dark, or spiders. Just things that get you to stop, and buckle. If you don't know what yours achillies heel is, you better find out. Its easier to prevent yourself from getting into situations versus finding yourself in one too little too late.

Back into a schedule

    Well looks like school starts back the 13th of august for me, and after yesterdays ordeal of trying to get all information and make payments I can honestly say I'm ready for this class to be over.
    Sadly my class is at 8am, a morning class, something I'm not too good with, so in order to do well in the class I'm trying not to stay up quite as late as I normally do. A little hard for me? Yes, yes it is, but I think I will be able to manage lol.
