Despite the unbearable heat and sitting in a CAR smelling of vomit for half the time in that heat, the trip to Greenwood was actually pretty fun (also, minus the emergency room part. But even then we made the best of it). We took lots of beautiful pictures, saw some cool stuff (i.e. the board dedicated to ms. Harris), and ate some good food. But the heat! It was waay too hot to spend more than 15 minutes outside. After a while I always managed to run to the car, inside a building, or under a tree in the shade.
One of the most hysterical parts of the trip was seeing these crazy hairstyles! People in Greenwood seriously have an interesting sense of taste. We saw two women with the craziest hairdos and, i tell ya, that is aalll we needed to make our day! Remembering them right now makes me chuckle a little bit.
Speaking of which, it was also the day after I got my hair did. I was definitely strutin' mah stuff hahaa - if youre a female you get it, if youre a male never mind and just keep reading lol
Of course, the not-so-fun part of the day was seeing Asia get from bad to worse and having to bring her to the ER. It was kinda scary, ESPECIALLY because Ben just completely fliped for some reason and started panicking out of nowhere. I feel like the best way to take care of a sick person is to remain calm so that your fears are not noticed by the person who is sick- because that just makes things worse.
I noticed that Ben gets really overprotective when it comes to this stuff. Watching him in the ER i turned to Kelly and said "Yo, look at Ben". She looked and we smiled (or laughed ha). Thats why it was not a surprise to me when i was told that the nurse thought Ben and Asia was a couple! hahaa that was too funny.
YEa well that was my day in greenwood. Special thanks to Crystal and Ms. Harris... and Ben (i guess - ha) for making that day possible.

lol, yea sorry for making the car smell like vomit and making you guys come to the hospital. But it was sooo not funny that the nurse thought we were a couple. I was wayyy to weak to sit up and curse her out/set the record straight. But I'm also very upset/disappointed. I was actually looking forward to that trip and looking at the pictures makes me that much sadder that I was unable to partake in the events of the day. I also now realize that I was staying with the first African American women's basketball Olympian to come from Mississippi. That is such a big deal! I remember looking at the hat but I was too distracted to actually appreciate what I was holding. (sighhhh)
