Hello there..
Well this weekend was MC's Homecoming weekend.. and it was very action packed. Starting Friday with follies and continuing on untill the late hours of the night lastnight. Follies, little skits our tribes put on in competion with each other, a boy's tribe won. Each skit was very funny and entertaining.. there wa never a dull moment. After follies there were so many parties to choose from and activities on campus as well. I started my day off Saturday with our volleyball game against our alumni.. of course we won. I then went on our quad and enjoyed the festivites that were set up around the areas. The volleyball alumni were tailgating and had really good food, so of course I went and visited along with most of my teammates as we enjoyed some cooking from back home in louisiana.. gumbo, boudan, and sausage. very very good. Time passed so quickly and it was game time.. I went inside the "reservation" and enjoyed majority of the game untill it got entirely too cold, and at the point where we lost!!! How do u lose a homecoming game.. i would just like to understand that. After the game I went to a costume party, lots of fun, and very entertaining as my friends and I were confused by some of the others girls costume selections.. hmm. All and all it was a great night and now I am laying in bed and just relaxing. Yesterday was a beautiful and today is as well a gorgeous day. Therefore I do believe I am now going to get dressed, while watching the saints game of course, and go enjoy this beautiful day... Hope everyone had a great weekend! I know I did!!! :-)

Fall Break...
Ok well I'm not really sure if we have to write one today or not seeing as its fall break but my alarm went off on my phone and i am sitting at the saints game.. so hey.. might as well play on the safe side..
So I came home for fall break! YAY! It is my second time being home since I left for school and I love it.
My younger brother is a junior this year and is finally going to a school dance, although I think his little senior girl friend is making him.. So as soon as I got home, my wonderful duty was to take him shopping for a shirt, pants, and a tie. I was a tad aggravated because I was tired and assumed he would be all day. I remember dress shopping.. how it took hours upon hours to find the perfect dress shoes and jewelry and we went to a thousand different stores.. wellllll I was completely wrong.. We walked into J Crew.. walked straight to the pants, got his size he picked a shirt and I found a tie.. It seriously took 10 minutes. lol. I of course could not resist being in a mall with daddy's black card so i most definitely advantage of that.. having to bribe my brother to let me shop.. telling him I would buy him an outfit for some party he was going to.. lol. That was all to easy. I love having a younger brother now, of course we never got along when we where kids.. there were many of fist fights..
We got home and he tried on his outfit.. and it made me miss high school and all of its activities... wow how life was so much more carefree.. I used to complain about the two hour practices after school.. HA! What i wouldn't give to trade my 6 am workouts and three hour practices for a smeezy 2 hour practice.. jeez! So i decided while I'm here i might as well take a trip to my old high school and pay my old teammates and teachers a visit.
Alright well I'm at the saints game and we just scored again! 34- 3... so i think i am going to cut this one short! Sorry!
... thank goodness for iPhones.. lol. ok well everyone have a great fall break and be safe.. i know i will be enjoying this entirely! AAAAHHHHH the raiders almost scored.. ok adios!

What is maturity?
Throughout of adolescent years we are taught that the ultimate perfection of an adult is responsibility and maturity. Although I find there are still those whom are considered adults but have not struck me as mature. Therefore the question that pokes my thoughts are what is maturity in perception?
Maturity to me is something that does not necessarily reflects ones age, but yet it is established with the mental growth of a person. I have ran across many adults who I feel I am more mature than. For example, the men that never grow up and stay boys, the women who like to believe they are still in their twenties, and even the parents who continuously go out on weekends leaving their children with a babysitter. Being 18 years old, I find myself having already met the maturity stage very young. My mother traveled a lot with work so therefore when our nanny was at home with my brother and I, I took it upon myself to watch after him. I feel as if I was catapulted into a different world with more responsibility at the age of 7 or 8. I didn't mind it of course, always playing protector. I learned how to cook, spaghettios of course, but still I enjoyed the feeling of taking care of my brother. As I have grown and high school was approached I found that I was above my years. Always hanging out with the upper classmen, not enjoying the pettiness of the freshman activities. I never enjoyed parities, I never drink, and going out isn't always on the top of my to do list, yet it is rarely on my to do list at all. I am always the designated driver.. and if my friends ever need advice they always turn to me.
Getting to the point of this story is to merely express my aggravation when someone older than me takes it upon themselves to assume my opinion is obsolete due to our differences in age. Yes I am still a young adult, but an adult none the less. I just for once wished that "older more wiser". ha. adults would realize that not all "kids" are stupid and irresponsible, although there is always those few. Take into consideration people grow at different rates, mentally and physically. Well I guess I just wanted to get that off my chest. Thanks for listening..
oh btw.. The volleyball team had a tournament this weekend.. in Abilene, Texas.. we played really well, as we faced some of the hardest teams in the conference.. Good job ladies!
