Message to Rich Rodriguez

Let me be honest I was not all for Michigan hiring Rich Rod 3 years ago when Lloyd Carr decided to leave. I thought it was mighty bold of the Wolverines not to look into Ron English for head coach. He made the defense what it was! But once I got over that I was all ready for Les Miles to win his championship with LSU and then become a Wolverine (I mean he wanted the job back when Lloyd Carr was given the position).

AND then drama ensued and Les Miles wasn't even given the opportunity to accept the position. So the powers that be decided on Rich Rod. Now I commended him for the work he did at West Virgina but I wasn't sure how he would fair at Michigan. I mean I love his style of offense and how fast paced he runs it. When he was given the job I humbly accepted that he was my (and yes I said my) coach! I defended him his first season explaining to people that he was a new coach bringing in a whole new style of offense with a young team. The second season I thought there was hope when they routed their first 4 teams...but then lost all the rest. So now, with the 3rd season underway I was thrilled when Denard "Shoelace" Robinson debuted! And the team went on to a 5-0 start.

But once the Big Ten schedule began trouble started. I haven't stopped defending Rich Rod because he is the coach. And out of respect I will do everything in my power to sway people to my side. BUT COME ON MAN!! Where on earth is the defense?!?! I mean how can u deploy one of the quickest offenses in Football History and have a defense that can't even defend me? I am pleading with you Rich Rod do something! They need some help. If anything ask English to come back..he will probably say no but at least put the word out there. Shoot call up my dad. I mean he is only the leading tackler at the school. If anything you would have some skilled Linebackers!

I'm not saying that I want Rich Rod fired but I do think that if he can't get his act together something needs to be done. I think that the offense can thrive under him (but only if he doesn't run Robinson into the ground) but not at the expense of the defense! This is the Big Ten and a defense is more than important! I just can't keep holding my breath on Saturdays anymore wondering how my team is doing!

SO what I'm saying is: COACH RODRIGUEZ PLEASE GET A DEFENSE!

Thank you management!

Could you Speak up? I can't hear you.

I have always had difficulty standing up for myself or voicing my voice as the young folks say. Speaking my mind and expressing my thoughts and ideas terrifies me. I'm not confident in my opinions and often worry that I'm wrong. These thoughts are only heightened by my ever present anxiety. I'm constantly overthinking and concerned that no one wants to hear what I have to say. To me, my thoughts don't matter to anyone other than myself. My voice often shakes and gets quiet when I'm trying to express myself. I am either worried that my opinions will harm/offend or will go unnoticed. There are several moments over the course of my life where I regret not speaking up or saying something that was on my mind. There is a constant internal struggle that happens every time I faced with a moment to express myself. More often than not, I end up silencing myself. Which I can openly admit has done nothing for me.  All I ended up with was a nagging regret that I should have sa...

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Right place...Right Time

God sure does work in mysterious ways! I know people say this all the time and it can get kind of old...until it happens to you! I was supposed to work today but my "big sister" had to have surgery and needed someone to take care of her for most of the day until my was able to take over the reigns. At this point I'm freaking out because I hate calling off work. For most people this isn't that big a deal but to me making a commitment is a big deal...and plus Direct Loans wants their money! BUT I also didn't want my "big sister" sitting alone not able to take care of herself. I decided to call off work and stay with her. This turns out to be a good thing. While I'm with her a woman she attends church with stops by for a visit and is asking me all types of questions. We begin talking about how I just graduated from Michigan and that I was taking time off before applying to grad school. I told her I was working at Trader Joe's.....and then she offers...
