Those 3 horrible facts are so true...yet so very true. There's only 2 weeks of school days left. Exactly 14 days. It's so close yet so far away... These Mondays are getting harder and harder to withstand. There's absolutely no focus whatsoever to be or do anything productive at all. The stress of finals coming up and not knowing half of what's going on made me realize how much of a struggle these last couple of weeks will be... Even Honey Boo Boo knows how I'm feeling..
Quote right there from the Princess herself. But beside that point, I decided I would read my horoscope today and it had a good point today. (I'm a Capricorn - Dec 22)
Don't expect everything to fall into place right away. You could hit a few obstacles, but the ultimate result will be worth the bumps along the way.
Definitely needed to hear something like that. It's hard to see what the final result will be when there's so much stuff going on. With spring football coming to an end, homework on homework, and of course summer, there is going to be obstacles in our way, but in the end they will benefit us in the long run.
On another note, the NBA Playoffs have been underway for the past week. Definitely looking forward to some more crazy, last-second shot, biting off all of your fingernail type of games. I personally enjoy watching all the games. Of course I have my preferences (OKC in the West, Brooklyn in the East) but I do enjoy the so called "Aura" that April brings along with the second wave of "Madness" that May has going into the Summer and into the NBA Finals. Honestly, I'm pulling for the underdog and the dark horse this year. LeBron James and company has already had enough time in the spotlight so bring on the upsets (Wizards, Trailblazers, maybe even the Mavs). As long as there's not another "Heat Repeat", I think I'll be alright. Of course with the Summer comes the NFL Draft as well. Looking forward to see who the #1 pick will be and who the Chiefs and Steelers will take as well. While everyone is talking about Jadeveon Clowney and Johnny Football, I think some of the people to be talking about are Clemon's Sammy Watkins and Blake Bortles from UCF, both who helped their teams win BCS Bowl Games (Orange and Fiesta respectively). It's a draft that I'm actually pretty excited to watch so tune in to ESPN on Thursday, May 8, 8 p.m. ET to catch the draft. It should be a good one.
Oh! And in recent news, the WNBA draft was a couple week ago and I'm proud to say another #NerdNation all-star was drafted No. 1 overall! Chiney Ogwumike followed her sister Nneka's path of being the No. 1 overall pick in the WNBA Draft. This is the 2nd player in the past 3 drafts to come from Stanford and they also became the second set of siblings to both be drafted No. 1 overall. (Peyton and Eli Manning) Ever since we went to visit my Uncle Steve and Aunt Stephanie in California, I've been a fan of the Women's Basketball program at Stanford. My Aunt was finishing up her medical school at Stanford in Palo Alto and we got to visit the campus. I wished I would've have been a nerd after that. It was a dream school for me and I would love to go back just to visit. But after that, I followed the Cardinal through the regular season, the Pac12 and the Final Fours watching players like Candice Wiggins, Jayne Appel, Kayla Pedersen, Jeanette Pohlen, Lindy La Rocque, Joslyn Tinkle, the Samuelson Sisters Bonnie and Karlie, and of course Nneka and Chiney. Definitely enjoyed watching them play throughout the past couple of years for #NerdNation and I'm stoked to see them play against each other in the WNBA.

I've always enjoyed pretty much all sports; male, female whatever. Some people think that women's sports are ridiculous or stupid. I see it as another event I enjoy being able to watch and experience. I would want people to support me in whatever I do. Why not support others as well. Some people only care about themselves and immediately turn away everything that they know nothing about. But that's another rant I'll leave for next time...
So as for me, I'll stick with my love for ALL sports.
Men's and WOMEN'S.
I'll end with this quote from Pierre de Coubertin. ~ The Founder of the Olympics ~
