My co-ed football team won championships for IM football this past Sunday! We are back-to-back champions and it's a great way to end my IM football career. I got to catch the game-winning touchdown so that was the cherry on top! 
I can't wait for today to be over! I just had my first presentation for my MKT 372 class and I have my MKT 460 in an hour. The first one was about our social project that we did and how we grew as a person. My group volunteered with the City of Austin and their Green City Festival. I made this video that summarized what we did:
In other news, New Moon is coming out this Friday! I'm pretty excited for this one because the graphics look so much better. This actually wasn't my favorite book out of the whole Twilight series but I think it'll still be great. Plus I love Kristen Stewart and her previous movies.

IM Women Champions!!!
We won! We won! We won!
My women's football team won our championship game tonight 19-0! We won our semis last night 27-6! It feels amazing to be #1 especially since we had some tough competition throughout the season. It's also awesome to know that we are the first team this school year to receive our champions t-shirt. I will definitely be wearing it for the rest of this week!
ForTheLOLs after our semis win:
Champions!
My coed team also won in our semis tonight over ABSA and we'll be playing in the championship this Sunday!
My birthday was also this past weekend so I am now officially 22. I really do feel a difference this time around. All of my future responsibilities of finding a job and having to leave school flashed before my eyes. I still had a great birthday with my friends though! I've never been to Mt. Bonnell so we went to watch the sunset and got some delicious sushi at Mikado afterwards.

This week has been the start of mock interviews for the BA 101 classes. I've already worked three sessions this week but I've had a great time getting to talk with different students. It was also nice to brush up on my interviewing skills by listening to how other students answered their questions. Hopefully some of my pointers will help them in future interviews!
Alright time to go to sleep! What a long day...

Violent Times
My heart goes out to all the victims and family members who were involved in the Fort Hood and Orlando shootings. It's sad to see that these events happened back-to-back. With my birthday coming up tomorrow, I am truly reminded of how precious and unpredictable life can be. There is no guarantee of a tomorrow and I hope to live each day with a purpose.

IM Playoffs and Careers Week!
IM football playoffs have officially started and my women's team won today 14-13! We are in the semis and we play again next Tuesday. My coed team plays our first game this Wednesday!
How was everyone's Halloween weekend? I was a party pooper and didn't dress up this year. I did watch Paranormal Activity with a group of friends though. It had some pretty creepy scenes but it wasn't as scary as I thought it was going to be. They didn't have a lot of money to make it with so I have to give them credit for pulling it off so well!

I am NOT tired.
What a crazy weekend! Starting on Thursday night, I went to the Colbie Caillat/Howie Day concert at Stubb's. It was a really chill concert but I had to leave a bit early to go catch a movie at the Austin Film Festival. My friend and I saw Michael Cera's new movie, Youth in Revolt. It was really funny and a great movie to kick off the festival. On Saturday, I also went to a couple of panels at the Driskill Hotel. I went to "How to write Love Stories/Romantic Comedies" and "Script to Screen: Watchmen". The screen writer for Watchmen was the speaker and he was hilarious! Later that day, I went to the Paramount theater to listen to Ron Howard, Mitchell Hurwitz, and Steve Zaillian. I love Arrested Development so it was awesome to see Mitchell Hurwitz talking about the movie that they're making for it. Then yesterday, my friend and I went to watch a Japanese film called Happy Ending. The festival doesn't end till Thursday night so I still have a few more movies to watch till then!
On top of the film festival, I have a test this Thursday for MKT 460. It's over regression analysis...my favorite. :(
I'm also working on my application for the DGA Trainee Program for after graduation. One of the essay questions asks about a hardship I went through in life. I've always hated that question. Hopefully my answer won't be too cliche.
The regular season for IM football has ended and playoffs are just around the corner! My co-ed team went 4-0 while my women's team is 3-1. Hopefully I can win 2 championships this semester. Am I being too selfish??

What an Awesome Weekend!
I had so much fun this weekend in Dallas! My whole football group made the trip up and we had a blast eating and playing Friday and Saturday. The game was such a tease as it kept going back and forth but we came out of it on top and that's all that matters! The state fair also had some of the weirdest fried foods but they were pretty much all delicious! I probably gained a good 5 lbs this weekend so this week will be dedicated for detoxing. It's funny to look around in class and see everyone's sun tan! My friends and I put decorative stickers on our faces so now we are branded with Texas logos. I have a longhorn on my cheek. :P
Competing for some fried butter:
School spirit: 
Big Tex: 
Celebration Time:
Of course we had corny dogs:
My football group :) 
Thankfully, my MKT 460 class pushed back their test to next week so I only have a LEB test this Thursday!
Also this Thursday, the Austin Film Festival is starting and I got my badge last week. This is the first time I'm going to AFF so hopefully it'll be a good one!

It's 9:38 AM and OU still sucks!!
Whee! It's finally here! The OU game is this weekend and I'm leaving today after my classes to bear the traffic on I-35! I can't wait to go to the state fair and eat all the unnecessary fat that they offer. I hear this year's creative award is fried butter. That should be very interesting to try. I also hear fried snickers are amazing! It's also going to be a good time going back home to visit my family and not worry so much about school.
I hope everyone drives safely to Dallas and back! It's going to be a fun game! Hook 'em!
