Ohhh... Reading....

Mmk.  I'm not going to lie, I do not like reading books.  But, these books seem a little interesting to me.  But, at the same time, the men's volleyball team that I'm on with Joe, just lost in terrible fashion to a team that we crush 9 times out of 10.  So, needless to say, I'm not really wanting to do this blog.  It may be a little shorter and with less information, and maybe a little less "real" than my normal posts.

I'm going to have to agree with what JP said about The New Influencers.  I don't think blogs are necessarily to be written in professional quality.  At least not the types of blogs that we have been writing.  I think blogging is just for you and your friends to keep up with whats going on with the people you are close with.  I treat these blogs as a general conversation, and I don't like to hide anything and I try to keep it as real as possible.  And I know that reading blogs about the books that we are reading isn't exactly what everyone likes to do, so I keep it real.  (That was pretty redundant)
*edit*
Well, I suppose these blogs are supposed to be a little more professional quality than I have been treating them.  I guess it's time to start treating them that way.  I do think that there are some kinds of blogs that are professional blogs.  The blogs that people can go read to get a good sense of news or other fun stories.  I know there are professional blogs run by Yahoo! that have fun stories in the sports world each day.  I enjoy reading those blogs.

Anyway, like I said, I'm not in a good mood per say, and I don't want to continue this blog.  This was a really bad one, and I will have better blogs this week.  I don't want to promise, because we have another big tourney next weekend, but I'll try.

Oooowwwwww.... Ouch Ouch Ouch

Those of you who are closer to me, and there are a few of you in class, you realize the pain I've been in the past few days.  I don't like to search for sympathy from people, but I'm hurting.

Wednesday, my back died.  I was at conditioning for practice, and running straight, when my back gave out.  Naturally, having been in sports my whole life, I thought it was just a tweak and that it would be fine in an hour or so.  Boy, was I wrong.

Later that evening, I decided to take my first trip to the Health Center.  The doctor, of course, has no idea what's wrong with me.  So, she sends me to Lima Memorial to get x-rays, (just to rule out the worst).  And those come up negative.  I went to practice Thursday night, and just watch.
On Friday, I was due for a follow up with the Health Center.  I went in at 12:30 and the guy I'm supposed to see, isn't in until 1:00, so, I leave.  Meanwhile, my mother of course is freaking out.  She calls me and decides to make a doctor's appointment for 2:30 back home.  Home is 90 minutes away!  So, I left right away.
Once I get home, I immediately see the doctor.  He thinks it's something along the lines of the tendons in my lumbar shifting or something along those lines of mumbo jumbo that I don't really understand.  So, he tells me not to play.  But, because he knows I'm an athlete, and he knows I will play anyway, he prescribes me some steroids.

So, this afternoon we had a volleyball tournament.  Luckily for me, the steroids seemed to work pretty well.  We ended up winning both the matches, and win the conference regular season.  I played, not 100%, but it was enough to help the team to the wins.  Got a big day tomorrow, hopefully the steroids last through the day.  We'll see...
