It's been awhile...

Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted anything! I have just been busy as usual, class, homework, tests, friends, TV, going home, Texas Football, and food!

First thing is first, Texas BEAT OU, thus proving that OU sucks. During OU weekend, I played 4 hours of frisbee, woke up early enough to watch the game, then did homework. I went to Wendy's with Jimmy and Alex after the ridiculous amount of frisbee, here is a pic of them!

After that long long weekend, I had awesome school. Well not that awesome, I don't really remember doing anything special... OH WELL.

The following weekend I went home for my Dad's birthday and homecoming! I was so happy to wish my dad a happy birthday on his actual birthday, and give him his awesome new UT burnt orange fishing fancy shirt! I also was able to help Jennifer get all dolled up for homecoming. It only took over an hour to get her hair all curled, but it was worth getting to see her off and be hands on a part of her life!

I also got to see my beautiful best friends! The biffles: Marissa, Sarah, and Abbi reunited in Magnolia at the football game and had a great sleepover and then waffles at Marissa's with even more friends! I missed everyone so much and it was great finally getting to see them all in person! Only a few more weeks until Thanksgiving, when I will see them all again!

I had to get back to campus pretty early on Sunday, because ASME is building a chariot to race in the Red Bull Chariot Race Competition, and I will be the one in the chariot! We are building a killer bunny, pictures to come :)

This past week of school has been pretty chill, it feels like every other day I have to do a lot of homework, but Thursday and today (Friday) I don't have much! Next week will be more hectic, I have an Mech E sketch quiz on Tuesday and Math test on Friday! Woohoo!

 This weekend has already started off on a great note! I watched Slumdog Millionaire on Thursday evening, and today after classes, Eric Andrew and I decided to go on an adventure! We began with Geocaching on campus! We found this super relaxed nice place near the alumni center, but unfortunately we could not find the geocache. Our adventure continued by catching a bus down to Sixth Street! We were looking for a cool mural, but once again could not find it! So we walked from W 6th St. (Dirty 6th) past South Congress to E 6th St. for some delicious Amy's Ice Cream! I was lucky enough to witness an awesome event. The worker at Amy's took a young boy outside, gave him a bowl, the guy walked to the other side of the street, and flung the ice cream to perfectly land in the bowl! It was AMAZING!

Side note, I just got a new camera lens and SD card for my mom's old camera, so I have a tonnn of photos. But the adventure was not over. Andrew was thirsty for a geocache and decided to search for another. We found this little park next to a small creek and began the hunt. Eric and I gave up pretty quick and decided to climb a tree instead. No worries Mom or Dad, I was only 4 feet off the ground haha! After about an hour at this small park, Andrew finally figured out where the geocache was! 48/51 people had logged online that they found the geocache, so we were glad to add to the success rate. After finding that one, of course Andrew had to go and find another! 

BUT, the adventure isn't over yet! We were no where near a bus, so we just had to start walking, and we decided to not use out phone GPS to get back to campus. Eventually we ended up seeing the Capitol and heading towards that! But we couldn't just walk by the capitol, so OF COURSE we went inside! Andrew has never even been inside the capitol, so it was quite an event! We found some janky ice scoopers in the basement, cartwheeled (unsuccessfully) everywhere, and generally goofed off!






 Formatting is super janky on here, sorry for the weird picture layout! Anyways, I am going to head out for some non cafeteria food dinner, then frisbee! Fun!
