Summa's Here

Conference Championships was a lot of fun. I had my best jump of the season on my first attempt and we were 6th in the 4x1. I had a great time in Tulsa and my mom, grandmother, and brother even came up to see me run. We were fortunate enough to have some great weather and none of the events was postponed. I have now been back in Fort Worth for two weeks. My brother and my cousin graduated this past Saturday. We all then went to lunch afterwards and had a good time. It seems just yesterday I was the one graduating. My cousin is going to Louisiana Tech to play football and my brother is going to Texas A&M. Why he is going to A&M, I will never know; but I guess there are stranger things. These past couple of weeks have been good. I saw my grandfather who I had not seen in awhile. I saw a ton of people at graduation, which I really enjoyed. I am also working as a landman for an Oil & Gas Company and hopefully I will be getting a waiting job as well, but we will see. I am definitely ready for another productive summer and I want to accomplish many things especially getting stronger and faster for next year. I am trying to gain at least 15 pounds, wish me luck. I will need it.

End of the Year

It is hard to believe, but my freshman year at Tulane is practically finished. I finished all of my finals last Thursday. I am now preparing for the Conference USA track championships on May 15 and 16. I am doing the long jump, 4x1 relay, and possibly the 4x4 relay.  I have had a great year, but it will be exciting to spend time with all my family again for a while. My mom flew into New Orleans on Mother’s Day to load all my stuff into the rental car; it was good to see her especially since it was Mother’s Day. We then ate lunch at this random breakfast spot a couple minutes from Tulane. I have met a lot of good people this year and I have fortunately been able to experience many things this year, which have contributed to my growth as both a student and a person. I hope that I will be working part time somewhere this summer, but you never know. I will continue to train during the summer for next year. Other than that, it has been a great year and I am looking forward to seeing old friends and seeing how all my new friends are doing back home.
