Block Party!!
Sep 5, 2008 School Events
Well…The Block Party was a lot of fun. Even though it was so hot my sweat needed a drink. I met a lot of people that I didn’t even know attended Indiana University East and had a good time. There was a lot of things to do there. I also got a great book from one of the booths, It is a biblical quotations book. I’ll definitely be using that.
One thing that made me laugh was the freshmen on the basketball team were so amped up because I had the record in the free-throw shooting contest. They all teamed up to try and beat my score, they stayed there for like 25 minutes! Oh well…when you’re at the top someone is always coming for ya(ha ha). The ice cream and food was very good also and It was a good time for fellowship amongst the fellow Red Wolves. All in all it was a good time, I only hope we can get a similar turn out for our games this upcoming season. In my Econ class a lot of the students said they like basketball, so Jacobe (one of my teammates) and I stressed that since they all like to watch and not really play they should all come out to Richmond high school and check us out this season.
I’ll be looking forward to more school events because I really enjoyed that one so I will definitely be at the next one.
P.S. If anyone sees the basketball players around the campus looking a little rough, it is on purpose….We decided not to shave until conditioning is over! (ha ha) We’ll see how long it lasts though.

Settling In…
Aug 24, 2008 Chester Heights Apartments, Sports
null
Alright, the school year is underway and so is basketball practice. I really enjoy hanging with all the guys and with all of us at Chester Heights together is nice. With all of us living so close to gether is basically kinda like living in a dorm since your college buddies are right next door. The apartments are nice and close to the school too so thats good. Im anxious to see how the classes go this first week.
Coming to school a week early was an excellent idea because i was able to settle in and get used to the area before the hustle abd bustle of the school year. All the stores you need are basically close range to the apartments with the exception of the mall and wal-mart, please dont try to walk there(ha ha).
Another good thing about the apartments is that the pool is in a good place, its not too far from any of the apartments. After basketball or just workin out, the pool is heaven! Man, just relaxing or acting silly with the guys out there, its another great hangout spot. The pool is actually deeper than i thought! When i first pulled up I thought it was another small pool that only went to about 5 feet, but to my surprise it was 9 feet deep. Which is great.
On another note, at school i had a dilemma with my financial aid, and the school staff has been really helpful, everyone is very approachable and will do whatever they can to help you. That has been great for me, because I am new to this whole area, so that has been a godsend.
