Where to start..I guess we'll start from our last post which was our tournament in Ukiah. We continued playing games and went to a couple more tournaments.
We headed back to our homes in Arizona and Utah to be with family for the Holidays..lets just say it was short. Twelve days..christmas was good, we got to see family and friends.
All in all, it was a good break from Taft, but I (Christine) was excited to get back to start playing basketball again. We headed to the Foothill tournament on the 28th of December and came back. Next was New Year's. Me, Baylee and Crystal stayed in the dorms for new years..Most boring new years ever. We played card games, watched the ball drop and headed to bed. Jasmine, Bri and Des headed to Bakersfield to coaches house.
Everybody started coming back slowly. We were the only people in the dorms which was nice. Baseball players started coming back. It was real boring for a while because we didn't have school. We played a few more games and started conference play. We played Fresno City and lost by two..we were ahead the whole game and let them back in it. We traveled to Porterville to play them and again were ahead the whole time, (up by 14 at one point) and let them come back. With 2.1 seconds left on the clock, coach set up a play to run to try and let a shot up. It was supposed to go to Jasmine or Theresa but Dawn passed it to me. All I heard was "Shoot it!" so thats exactly what I did. It bounced on the rim once and went it. We won the game by two points. It was pretty cool.
Since this is the second semester, I guess it's kind of like...a second round. Round 2. We're all about to just be real (grow up lol) and fire at anyone, and say whatever is on our mind, kinda haha.
We started school. A lot of classes are with familiar faces, so this semester shouldn't be so bad. The first week wasn't so bad becasue it was a 4 day week.
This week however has been eventful. Oh yes. It all started when coach anounced that practice was at 6:30...on Sunday.
Sunday the 24th came and it was kind of lonely. There were only 10 of us at the black line when practice began. Coach went on to tell us that those of us who couldn't make it to practice are done, or suspended. Problems didn't end there.
The very next day 2 more people left us, and were down to 9. What lonely pratice. Practice continued like that all week. It was rather depressing. On top of all that drama, we lost our game on Wednesday.
But it was Daniel's birthday and evryone was ready to go out. Of course some of us didn't go out. But before the party began, everyone decided to come and hang out in the T dorms. Wow, never tought I'd see the day.
And then something amazing happened. I (Jasmine) was chillin in the dorm, surfin the web, listening to music, when I heard a knock on the door. I opened it to find to guys standing all up in my face. One was Juan, yea whatever.. But the other was...omg, EYE CANDY. He came to my door. hahah. I was so gitty, but I didn't show it. We all just stood out in the hallway talking about nothing. Then when he wasn't looking I creeped hin soooo hard.
But anywho. So since we've been back we've been going to the Canadians room to have GAME NIGHT! We really do enjoy it. For Christmas, I got a handful of card games and such to play. Baylee also brought back catch phrase. That one is definately the best. We went over a week ago Friday and had such a great time. There were a lot of people that played...Tom, Braden, Austin, Jay, Barrett, Victoria, Bri, Jasmine, Fil and maybe a few others. We had such a fun time trying to describe words such as cupcake, Rosa Parks, Anne Frank, climbing a ladder, fencing and others. It was such a fun time. After that we played apples to apples and that was even more funny. That night was so much fun! We've been playing a lot lately and have gone over the words two or three times. It still is a challenge sometimes. Last night, we played two rounds of phase 10, one round of uno, and a little bit of catch phrase. There was one time, Barrett was describing website hits and his team couldn't get it so after the buzzer went off and he jumped to his feet yelling "My head is fuming right now, you don't even realize!" We all burst out into laughter. Me, Jasmine and Fil were on a team and me and jasmine kept getting side tracked and talked to eachother while Fil was describing his words. We could not stop laughing. He was trying to describe to us, "You pull a bunny outta a hat", and "Not a manicure, but a...." We just kept laughing through out the night. We returned to our dorms and went to bed so we could get up for 5:30 A.M. practice.
We'll try to keep you updated on more of our experiences.
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED NOW AND TODAY!
