Last week of school and I'm sick again!

Happy late Thanksgiving! I had a nice long week trying to recover from a cold I had starting on Tuesday. I decided to stay in Austin this year because I really dreaded the drive to Dallas. Luckily, 9 of my other good friends stayed behind so we ended up having a potluck dinner on Thursday. It went amazingly well and my pumpkin pies were a hit! I literally spent that whole day baking, watching the Cowboys game, then watching the UT game. After resting for couple of hours, my friends and I went to Best Buy at midnight to start lining up for Black Friday. It actually wasn't as cold as I thought it would be and the time went by relatively fast. I ended up buying a PS3 bundle and a bunch of blu-ray dvds! I'm so excited to play and watch everything during winter break!



I wish I wasn't sick during the break because I couldn't focus on my studies. I started getting a fever and ended up napping most of the weekend away. I have two midterms this Thursday but I'm hoping I can get my stuff together tonight and start off the week strong!

Today I also got my Big XII championship ticket email! I'm not sure yet if I'm going to go to the game this Saturday but I'm very tempted. I also applied for the BCS championship game in Pasadena so hopefully we'll be able to make it!

We Won! Part 2

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!

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!
