As usual I'm tired this morning. I should really start doing this in the afternoon considering I always have to resist say this every morning. Today is a big day for me possibly, once I wake up. Today I have planned to do something that I usually never do. There are a lot of things I usually never do such as: go sky diving, skiing in the Alps, Talk to a girl that I like, play guitar live infront of millions of people... There are truely a lot of things I never do. You can probably pick out the main thing I'm writing this about though.That being said I've got something to do today between my second and third class as well as after my fourth and final class. Man that makes me feel like a creeper just saying that but oh well. Moving on, Lately I've had a spell of laziness come over me at school. In class I tell my self that I will just finish my work at home but then when I get home I just say screw it and go to bed.

Honestly today started off with out a problem. It was nice and warm outside so my friend and I drove to school with the windows down and music up. I was hoping a little bit that it would rain this morning. I'm kind of a strange person, I enjoy it when the weather makes it harder to do things. I feel that driving in the rain is fun because you can drive sompletely different without actually breaking the law. I might be the reason people get in crashes when it rains. Other than being wreckless when it rains I also have had new windsheild wipers on my car for the past month and havent really got to use them. You may say so what? But I like to use the things I spend money on and they're one of them.Switching from the weather, this weekend I found out I have all of this new music I didn't know I had. I can't explain where it came from but it's on my computer! I'm not going to lie, it's pretty awesome music. I've been listening to it for the past few days.

This morning is starting out slow. I woke up this morning and went straight into my daily usual. I figured since I'm carpooling with my friend that this morning would be just a little bit out of the ordinary considering this is only our thrid time doing it... but it wasn't. Right now I'm obviously sitting here in class doing this "free write" and just waiting for something worth while to do.

Last night I went to the MSU mens basketball game. sadly, like every other game this season, the lost big time. I went with my grandpa who I share season tickets with. Its seems as if when the Bears are down MSU really picks up the effort with giving away things for free to make your visit there more enjoyable. this season alone I've taken in two towels, many programs, and passed up many poster, a shirt, and a few other things. This season has been one to remember in a good way though. One night I was asked to take the Houlihans half court shot for a chance to win Houlihans free for a year. I stupidly passed that up for a chance to stay in my comfy seat in section P during halftime and watch some other guy completely blow the attempt. I now feel like I should have taken that shot. I could have the ultimate date kit for free!.. anyway, I also was "scouted" by some guy from arizona but i'll talk about that next time.

Today started out very interesting. Late last night I texted my friend and started a carpool for getting to and from school. It was me T (the driver) and C (the other passenger). T came by and picked me up at six and we went about the morning by getting C and then stopping by the gas station for snacks. As we were leaving the gas station we were laughing about how small the back seat of T's Camaro is. We were about to turn left at an intersection when suddenly a car came racing out of nowhere and t-boned a mini van which vas adjacent from us. Seconds after see this my friend T proceeds to look in all directions around him, turns on his right turn signal and drives the other way. This is where my friend C starts telling T to stop but T is too embarrassed to admit he is wrong and keeps driving. So C does the right thing and calls in the accident and explains why he can't be there at the scene and leaves his contact information. Later T justified his lack of judgement by pointing out the fact the dome light in the van came on and we clearly saw both people in the van moving and talking. Hopefully they truely are ok.

Shelby Hendrix Intro

Hello! My name is Shelby and I in currently in my second semester here at OTC. I was born here in Springfield and attended Horace Mann Elementary, Carver Middle School, and Kickapoo High School. As of right here I'm one of those people who is here just to get their "Gen Eds" since I don't exactly know what I want to do. High school history teaching is something I've recently started to consider and I'll probably start taking classes geared more toward that next semester, assuming I don't change my mind.

Through Elementary school my biggest hobby was basketball. In my free time I would spend hours outside just shooting baskets. In Middle school my older brother tried to convince me to stop playing basketball and take up running. He had hopes of making me into Kickapoo track and field prodigy and I had a realistic view of how good I was at basketball so I started running in seventh grade. In middle school I was an A team sprinter but in high school I was kind of forced into distance all because it's what my brother did. The first three years I was terrible, but something happened and I went from being in the bottom five of the Junior Varsity team I rose up to become a key member of the Mid distance team and did everything (but not limited to) the 400 meter dash to the 1600 meter race. I wish I would have accomplished this a little sooner but I can't complain.

Enough about me running track, there are other things in my life other than running. I have a loving mother and father along with two older brothers. I will gladly point out that I have outgrown bother of my brothers. I also have two dogs, a Border Collie named Lola and a Dachshund named Barkley. Lola is one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet and Barkley won't shut up. I'll just tell you know, Lola is my favorite. My family and I often go to the lake for camping and various water sports... mostly just tubing though. When we go to the lake EVERYBODY comes, even the dogs. When my family isn't doing things together I have a few hobbies of my own that I do. As you already know I run, but I also bike, play basketball (when I feel like it), and where would any high school/college student be with out a PlayStation? The answer is probably on the honor role but we won't go there.

Like I mentioned earlier I'm starting my second semester here and am looking forward to the day I move on to MSU and then graduate. Until then I am looking forward this class and the rest of the time I have here at OTC. I look forward to getting into more interesting classes, meeting new people, and many other things.
