Hello Xanga-ers....it's been a while since I've last written...needless to say I suppose you could say I've been a little busy with finals, and then with the start of summer school which has ended.  Let me give you an idea of how it went...after the first two days we had our first lab practical...WOW...I was a little taken aback but I tried my hardest and got a B on it.  Which surprised me.  But after that great grade...it kind of went downhill.  The second week of summer school is what one could only describe it as "Hell Week."  This is the week that will make or break you, and your grade.  A lecture test Monday, lab practical Tuesday, Lecture test Thursday, and Lab Practical Friday.  Needless to say I made it through that...and our toughest HARDEST test was the Muscle test which I only studied one day for.  So my days basically went as follows: Wake up at 6am, get to school 730, lab 8-1050, lectures 11-1250, come home, eat, take a shower, and study until bedtime.  Was it healthy?  Probably not, there came a time where I realized I kind of stopped eating.  I ended up with a C...which isn't what I wanted...and I was definitely disappointed in myself for it, but to take the edge off it was my First time with this kind of material, and it was A LOT to learn in 3 weeks.  I may just take it again during the semester...not next...but one of these semesters.  I'm just not happy with it.

Ok, so with my summer officially here the first thing was a Road Trip.  My mom, friend, and I headed off to The Hills...L.A...Hollywood, whatever you want to call it.  We went for Lauren Conrad's book signing at The Grove in Barnes and Noble.  It was one of the best trips ever.  Not only did I get my book signed and met Lauren...I also met Ross Mathews...HELLO!!!  To top that off...my friend and I were on his show on the net.  OMG!  I freaked out...definitely made the trip THAT much better. We also went to see all the tourist like sites: Hollywood sign, Chinese Theater, Venice Beach, etc.  I had a LOAD of fun!!!  We stayed at the Farmer's Daughter hotel...so overall it was really a GREAT trip that I thoroughly enjoyed!

Now with no studying needed and no real road trips planned, it's hard to figure out what's next.  I'm currently looking for a place to work on some of my shadowing hours, and have emailed one place who didn't respond back...oh well.  Lets see...I want to head out to the UFC Expo in Vegas, but I don't think I'll find anyone who's willing to go with me.  Oh well...there goes my bright idea huh?  Tomorrow's Father's Day and my sister's coming over for a little bbq foodage.  Umm...what else???

Oh the Fifa Confederation Cup has been going on...and I can't help my love for soccer players haha.  Lets just say I became a fan of Spain :p  Ok...maybe for all the wrong reasons lol.  Well...I'm wathing the Ultimate Fighter finale right now, so hopefully from the time that goes to the time throughout summer...I will have done some pretty cool things...here's to hoping!!! 

Tonight was fam fight night for UFC 97...fam fight night usually consists of sister coming over with nick and then food haha.  Overall, tonight's fights sucked.  It appears everyone's thinking Chuck's done, and sadly Shogun Rua knocked him out.  It's sad watching the Ice Man go down... :(  Dana White bugs me too...everyone should know this...he thinks he's the shiz.  He's just a bigger version on Andre Agassi to me haha.  Although I credit him for bringing this sport to light.  Anyways, Anderson Silva had no problem beating Leites.  Freakin Thales didn't do anything except lay on his back.  ERR!!!  So annoying!  But Silva's sidekicks to his knees looked painful.  I kept thinking if Leites had his leg straight and then Silva threw on, BAM there goes the meniscus, or ACL/PCL.  Yikes.  Anyways, it all sucked!  I'm started to think I shouldn't even be paying 45 freakin dollars for these.  Of course, I'll be buying the Machida/Evans fight cause Machida's the shiz.  And although i'm not much of a gamer at all, I am excited that UFC is coming out with another game...which I'll be purchasing and probably only play once hahah.  Oh well.

Overall, I had fun hanging with the fam and my friend :)  But the entertainment part, not so great.  I'm cutting this short just cause I'm sleepy.  So until next time folks! 

Why is it so hot today?!  Ugh!

I guess it's already that time again for the WNBA.  I know a lot of people out there could simply care less, but this is how it is for me...NCAA ---> WNBA.  That makes a full year for Shayne!  So yes, i'm transitioning right now haha.  It's time to switch it from my Bulldogs and Huskies to my Monarchs, granted I'm really excited to see Chicago...Sylvia Fowles + Candice Dupree = Tough haha.

So the First Round Draft Picks are as follows:

1.Angel McCoughtry - Atlanta Dream
2. Marissa Coleman - Washington Mystics
3. Kristi Toliver - Chicago Sky
4. Renee Montgomery - Minnesota Lynx
5. Dewanna Bonner - Phoenix Mercury
6. Briann January - Indiana Fever
7. Courtney Paris - Sacramento Monarchs
8. Kia Vaughn - New York Liberty
9. Quanitra Hollingsworth - Minnesota Lynx
10. Chante Black - Connecticut Sun
11. Shavonte Zellous - Detroit Shock
12. Ashley Walker - Seattle Storm
13. Lindsay Wisdom-Hylton - Los Angeles Sparks

Overall concerning Sacramento I'm definitely pleased.  I think Courtney Paris is a great pick up for Sac.  I've always thought we lacked a strong Center, and now we picked up a good one.  Although I'm not sure about the 1 spot because of the trade of A'Quonisia Franklin.  I was surprised Renee didn't go earlier, and yes I had hoped she show up in a Monarchs uniform cause that would be icing on the cake for me!  So it looks like i'll be heading to some Minny games to see her play!  I'm excited overall.  It's funny though for as much as I feel like I follow basketball, throughout most of the draft I was sitting there saying, "Who?" when the prospects were getting picked haha.  Shows how much I know!  So here's to looking for a great WNBA season, hopefully Sac finds themselves in a better spot and with some trades and such it looks like I'll be having a few teams I'll be rooting for this season.  But Sac will always be my number 1.  Hopefully soon there will be a pick of me and Courtney Paris, Renee Montgomery, and some others coming soon!
