Injury Disappointment

My weekend involved me not being able to play in my football game due to my recent injury to my groin. Thinking I was healed I went out on the Field for the games opening kick off and unfortunately while i was running i felt the pain rushing to my groin and had to come out. Standing on the sidelines. my couch walks over to me and tells me to take my helmet off and rest. Overwhelmed with disappointment it only got wost because we ended up losing 21-0.  

Week # 3

Hello guys!!!

This week I did not do much. I have been working y trying to get my essay done. I just wish to have more free time to enjoy with my friends. As I said before, I am going back to Ecuador in 3 weeks. I can't wait to be there with  my new nice. Her name is Valentina. She is 5 months. It is amazing to see how many cute things are for girls in the stores. I can't wait to see her. 

Weekend #3

Hello Everyone!

On Friday after work I ended up doing some yard work with my boyfriend. I ended up with a huge mosquito bite. OUCH! After we finished with the yard, we decided to order pizza from Ledo's. We were starving and order 2 large pizzas thinking we were going to finish them. Well we exaggerated and did not even finish a box. Pizza leftovers for days.

On Saturday, I went to my brother's soccer game in Bowie. His team did not do well. They lost 2-1. Also, we had a farewell party at my parents' house for my cousin Derrick, who is leaving to the Navy on August 1st; it was great to see all my cousins, uncles, and aunts.

On Sunday, my brother had another soccer game in Baltimore. This time they redeemed themselves and won 7-0! The rest of my Sunday was spent working on my essay and several interruptions from my dog Rocky, who obviously wanted to help me.

 AIDS International Conference 

 Last week, I had the opportunity to be part of the history in Washington DC. I was part of a group of volunteers who collaborated to made the AIDS international conference success and achieve their goal to inform the world about the serious effects of AIDS and advances in treatment. It was a great opportunity to share new experiences with people from all over the world. The event was well organized and powerful statement that created awareness about AIDS as a public health issue. I met great public figures with great influence in our society like President Bill Clinton and Debra Messing who are advocates of AIDS awareness. 

Weekend #3

Hello Everyone,

On friday, I went to work but it wasn't just any work day. My bestfriend who just moved back to Maryland from North Carolina started working at the same resturant. It's exciting to be able to hangout with her while we are getting paid.


My brother Zach, who recently graduationed from Virginia Tech, recieved his first car this weekend. His graduation present from my Dad was a brand new car so on Saturday he went and picked one out. He is so excited about having his own car!

On sunday, I spend the entire day working on my essay! so much fun, I know!

Fun weekend!

This weekend was perfect! Friday, i was off work, and didn't have class so i got to watch my 9 year-old niece, had the whole day to play with her, and watched tv. 

On Saturday, it was a real lazy day, mostly stayed in bed, watched dvd's, and ordered pizza hut. It was a very relaxing day, i caught up with the lost hours of sleep that i needed from the entire week of being in class and work, so it made my day, and i was content.

For Sunday, my boyfriend's dad, him, and I decided to launch the boat on the water, and try some rock-fishing by the bay.

 It was a little warm outside, but there was a real nice breeze though. We caught a good amount of fish, had a blast, and called it a day by noon.

This was the first time that i caught a fish every time i cast out a lure in the water, and i just want to keep on going, but there's always a next time. I can truly say that my weekend is pretty awesome and fun filled!

Hello Class,

This week end was very exhaustive! I went to work on Saturday, came back home and found out we were having guests before the Ramadan break. I wanted to help cooking the meals so I decided to make rice and fish. However, I might have put too much pepper. When I served the rice, I saw that people were drinking water after each spoon. I asked if it was spicy, they answered an unanimous "Yes". But the meal was so delicious they finished it all. I wonder what would have happened if it was not spicy.

Rain & Football

Most people would say the rain ruined their weekend; As for me it made mine. July 21st. Saturday, was my first official semi pro football game. I departed from Germantown around 1:45pm Saturday afternoon to arrive in Baltimore around 3:15. Strapping up my pads for the first time in two years, it felt phenomenal knowing that I was about to step foot onto this rubbery turf field only to lay some broncos out. The rain only intensified my game play. It made me want to run faster hit harder and play with an attitude, not caring about any body on the other side of the ball, it was game on. Bursting down the field on a play I heard a POP!, and that's when my Saturday went from great to not so great. I had pulled my groin; lucky it was in the 4th quarter so I had played most of the game. The only thing was that no body had scored which was nerve racketing knowing that I had to sit on the sidelines in excruciating pain. Surprisingly with seconds left on the clock we scored off of a defensive interception and went home with the victory.

High Fidelity

My weekend was rather uneventful. Most of my time was spent on catching up on my reading. A book that I took a great interest in was the 1995 Nick Hornby's novel: High Fidelity. The novel follows the trails and upsets of a pop culture obsessed, record store owner who has recently gone through a bad breakup. Though I am not far in the book, I do find it very enjoyable. 

Weekend #2

Hello Class, my weekend was amazing. On Friday, my friends and I decided to go do zumba; it was fun, energetic, and exhausting. By the time we got out of zumba class we were drenched in sweat.

 On Saturday, I cleaned my room and did some laundry. Later that day, I went to Baltimore to see my boyfriend's first semi-pro football game. It was rainy and ugly throughout the whole game. My boyfriend's team won their first game with a game winning towndown. Go Maryland Knights!

On Sunday, I did some more laundry and worked on my essay. I also went out with my boyfriend and some friends to go see the new Batman movie at Rio. While waiting for our movie to start, we decided to go on the paddle boats; it was fun! Once we got to the theater it was PACKED with teenagers, adults, and even children. Luckily, we found seats where we could all sit together. By the way the movie was really good. :)
