Forgot to add this in my last blog...but Sunday I am leaving for a nice little EuroTrip with some buddies of mine over here...We are starting our trip in Barcelona, then heading to Rome (which I am most excited about), then Nice and Paris...I have only heard great things about all of these Countries so I cannot wait! Will take loads of pictures for everyone! We have our last exam tomorrow evening, so far they have gonna pretty good, been happy with them! Lastly, I decided to come home June 7th to the 14th...thought it would be smart to head home before I head to Australia for the Summer. Will try my best to see everyone, but I only have a week. Cant wait to be back Stateside, miss everyone!... read more

Sorry for taking so long to get back about our last two tournaments of the season...The first tournament which was in Galway, which is absolutely a gorgeous place and if anyone ever comes to Ireland I suggest you visit Galway, the weather is great this time of year and it is a lot of fun. We stayed in a hostel which was right in Eyre Square which is Downtown Galway, over the weekend they had live music and the square was packed with people. We played 5 games in 3 days...beating all our opponents pretty good until we got to the finals and lost by 1 to the host school from Galway. We were up by 15 with 4 minutes and that is when fatigued kicked in. The last time I had played two games in ... read more

To start off I want to say that I had a blast with the family while they were here. My dad, Brother, Robby and Natalie (Justin's gf) all came for St. Patrick's Day. What better place to be in the world than Dublin for St. Patrick's?!?! Can anyone tell me.... DUBLIN...I couldnt believe myself I was actually in Dublin for St. Patty's, I dont know how many times we looked at each other and said, "Can you really believe we are in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day??" We started off the day walking down Grafton Street which is probably the most popular street in Dublin. It was packed by 11:00 am and all throughout the street there were people performing music and some people showing off their artistic abilities. One guy was carving a dog out ... read more

Well I cannot believe today is March 1st, it feels like I just got over here but in reality I have been here for 7 months, that is just crazy to me. Well we had a heartbreaker of a loss on Saturday in Galway against Moycullen. We lost to them by 6, 77-71. It was an up and down game, at one point we were down by 20, but fought back to get it as close as 5. I had another solid game scoring 27 points and 23 rebounds, missed a huge three though down the stretch which would have brought it to witin 4, oh well they all cant go your way! Galway is a gorgeous city, it is out West and the drive was long, but great scenery. The town of Galway is awesome ... read more

Well want to start off with saying the Superbowl was a great game to watch. Both teams played well and it was destined for the Saints to win, the State of Lousiana needed something to revive that place and this was their time, so hats off to the Saints. There were two things that made it difficult to watch though, the first was it came on here at 1130 and ended around 3 and for a Sunday night that is late and also we couldnt see any of the commercials (which is the best part of the Superbowl), but heard they were good ha. We had a game Sunday as well against UCC Demons and it was another tough defeat for the Elks. We only had seven players coming into the game so that meant I ... read more
