UKIAHHH!

So, we've just returned from our latest basketball tournament in Ukiah, California....approximately 6 1/2 hours away. What a drive we had. We started waking up at around 6:30 in the morning to get ready to go. We went and got a quick breakfast and we right on the road. That's pretty much it for the ride. People listened to their ipods and talked to eachother and slept...me and jasmine found it quite funny to take pictures of people sleeping. We got some great pictures.










We passed through, and even stopped in Oakland for a second! My hometown! We passed by several familiar places and streets. We saw Grand Lake Theater, the cranes over by 10th street, and passed lakeshore- the street that led to my grandma's house. We stopped in my dad's neighborhood and he was just minutes away...

We stopped for food and got Carl's Jr. Some lady saw that there were about 20 people in line so we're pretty sure she made up a lie and said that her daughter was in the hospital and if she could just butt all of us and get two sodas...what a liar! I didn't go in the restroom there but a lot of the girls went in and said it smelt like "death times 3!" as said by Jasmine Green. We got into Ukiah and the first thing we saw were two homeless guys hitchhiking. We saw a lot of them there, Baylee made a joke and said we should just let them come on our bus...coach gave her a really funny look. We got to the hotel and got our rooms keys. I was in a room with Dawnisha, Crystal, Desiree and myself a.k.a. CDCD. Jasmine was in room "204!" with Theresa, Olivia and Mer Mer. - Yea 204! We go Harrrd! The other rooms had Baylee, Ashley and Chino in one and Victoria, Bri, Yeni, Maryssa in the other. It was quite a party. We have great time. We settled in and people napped while I stayed up and watch t.v. before our game. We all got ready and started driving.....
It was dark outside so we couldn't see where we were going and apparently neither did our bus driver. It seemed like were driving forever trying to find the school. When we finnaly got into the parking lot we drove around for a bit trying to find the gym. I guess the driver couldn't see the curb because we sure did hit it hard.

Crazy old man.

He tried to make an excuse: "I'm ahh....." Then coach cut him off immediately with "...on the curb." And instead of backing up, he tried to drive even further on the sidewalk. Because of this incident, the time we were up there we were very cautious while walking on the sidewalk lol.

We got inside the gym and saw a couple of boo boo teams. Some of us thought they were high school. The game started and we were down. We didn't bring our 'A' game to the first half. At half time we could hear the other team celebrating their 3 poitn lead over us....big deal. We came out with fire the second half. Has some good plays and shots and came out on top. We beat them by nine.

After the game half of us went staright to Applebees while the other half went to Jack 'N the Box. CJproductions was in the group that went to Applebees, so we don't know what fun entailed elsewhere, nor do we care! lol

When we entered to be seated Dawn saw this kid and told him "We haven't seen dark meat in a long time!" He smiled. He was so happy and giddy. We nicknamed him 'Choc'. We really treated all the guys out there like pieces of meat...I mean c'mon, we have nothing but Taft guys and eye candy to look at. Mmmmn...there were also the boys from Redwoods. OH BOY!!! :) We got dinner and eye candy that night. We sang happy birthday to the cutest eye candy. His name was Dom. Our waitress..oh Christine's bad, our waitor was...interesting.

We got our fill, and we had to walk back to the hotel, how messed up right?

We walked up stairs and ran into these guys from Lassen. They were kinda weird. We searched and searched for the bus driver so we could get our bags off of the bus. During that time we met an Aussie, witnessed a nearly phyiscal altercation between two of the other girl teams, and ran into the Lassen kids sevral times. We introduced ourselves to them with fake aliases. My name was Rebecka. Christine was just Christine...she didn't want to play, lol.

We had cerfew at 11, so we all turned in at 11.

In 204 we watched tv untill we fell asleep. Mer mer had the remote and fell asleep will holding it. She was snoring real loud and then all of a sudden woke up and started changing channels. Then fell back asleep. Me and Theresa just looked at each other.

Meanwhile in 201...they just went to sleep.

The next day we got up and went down to breakfast as a team...finally! We were all just conversing with eachother about who said what in their sleep and who was snoring. We had a meeting in the coaches room. We got our money for the day and all went back into our rooms. Oh yes, there was a WAL-MART in Ukiah so we took many trips over there. We all got ready for the day which was going to consist of watching basketball and more basketball. Our bus driver was kinda getting annoying giving us a play-by-play of what he was going to do...we don't care.

We got to the gym and the bus driver wanted to drive into the DO NOT ENTER! part. We all hurried out of the bus because we didn't want to get embarrassed by him. We walked into the gym and watch Lassen and Mendo play. Mendo was getting killed. We just wanted to watch "some dunks, some blocks, and some steals." (Jasmine) The boys teams started warming up and they didn't look too good. They didn't play good either.(Jessica just walked into my room as I'm typing this blog). We wanted to leave sooo bad and so we went to 7huyhupkottujijnim Denny's and again had a weird waitress. Jasmine had breakfast and I had zesty nachos.

After Denny's we went back to the hotel and we all napped while Christine sat out and watched the construction next door. Woke up around 6 and left for the gym. We arrived and the Woods were playing in the championship game. So nice! There was this big guy, very BIG! He was 6'9 and looked like he could've been 300 lbs. He was good and so was eye candy Dom. However, they lost and we never saw the Woods ever again.

Our game started early. We lost that game but should've won. End of story. Christine is being mean...soooo mean. It's hurting Jess's feelings. She just hopped onto her bunk and gave Jess the dirtiest look ever. How ruuudddeee!! Jess is quite bummed now and is exiting the room.
We got back to the hotel and Christine, Des, and I walked over to Jack "N the box. We ate the food in 201. And then Theresa and Olivia wanted me to go to Wal-Mart with them. We got back and went to sleep.

The next day was checkout day. We had breakfast in the lobby again. It was pretty chill. We packed the rest of our stuff and piled into the bus, but not before a couple quick rounds of dare and bed jumping. We were the first game that day. We sucked some more, but held on. In the second half a bat was flying around the gym. The game was stopped for a bit and everyone was going crazy. It was pretty fun actually.











We ended up winning, duh! So that put us in third place. We could've killed in this tourney but just didn't put in enough work. We got on the bus and headed off for.....Taft.

We stopped for dinner at In N Out and it was bomb..we got hats and took a couple pictures. We got on the bus and me and Jasmine had a little dance party on the bus. The bus driver was crazy and ran threw a stop sign. We got back to Taft safely and were wide awake. We came into the T Dorms yelling "wake up T Dorms" a couple people got mad. Me Jas Victoria and Des walked over to 7 11 and we came back and chilled until we went to sleep.












and that's what happened now and TODAY!!
