The following week I had a calculus test, a chemistry test, and RIVALS WEEK. Let me explain. Rivals week is when the Engineers team up against the Business school and compete in a variety of events. Sunday was field day/kick-off(Engr. won), Monday was a Whose Line is it Anyway (Comedy) competition (Bus. won), Tuesday was Capture the Flag at the Capitol (Engr. won), Wed/Thurs I studied/took my chem test, and Friday was dodgeball and closing ceremony. The Engineers totally destroyed the business students when it came to participation, we generally had 50-100 students show up, and they had 20-40. At Capture the Flag, we weren't even able to split Eng/Bus. because they didn't have enough people to compete! During dodgeball, there was one gym of 20 engr. vs 20 business, and one gym filled with 60 engineers playing against each other! It was awesome! Ultimately, the Engineers stole back the title from the business school and were crowned CHAMPS this year! I loved being active and meeting new people, it makes going to school so much more fun! 

In the midst of all this, my BIFFLE SAR-BEAR (Sarah) came in town! She was only here for 2 days, but we also crammed as much in possible so here is the list!

Sarah's Visit

1. Dodgeball (Sarah was the last one on the Mech E vs everyone else game, pretty funny)
2. Sneak into Calloway House (Private dorm) and play pool!
3. Eat some delicious Pluckers (2nd time that week)
4. Play frisbee until 1 am! (Side Note: 8 random people joined us throughout the evening and it was really strange)
5. Sleepppppp
6. Eat legit thai food from thai spice (Sarah got something that wasn't the Chinese version of a chicken nugget, I was so proud)
7. Go to Mt. Bonnell!

For only coming up Friday afternoon and leaving Saturday afternoon, I consider it quite the success how much we were able to pull off!

I am so glad that Sarah and Jen were able to experience my college life and meet some of my new friends! Oh last thing, Sunday evening, since I had my car parked nearby, we drove to Chuy's and I was able to show Sephra, Eric, and Jimmy the wonders that is Chuy's! Such an austin-y place! Anyways, this week is pretty chill, I hope to get my work done before my parents come in town this weekend for the game, whoo! That's all for now!

PS my Halloween was pretty crazy, ASME competed in a Chariot Race, and I rode in the cart! Long story short, some army ROTC guys were jerks and I ended up taking one of the guys pulling our chariot to the ER to get stitches on his foot.
