COLLEGE FOOTBALL - North vs. South
Hook 'em Horns!!

campus, put name on waiting list for tickets, then still have to camp out.
Friday Classes After a Thursday Night Game:
NORTH: Students and teachers not sure they're going to the game, because
they have classes on Friday.
SOUTH: Teachers cancel Friday classes because they don't want to see the
few hungover students that might actually make it to class.
Parking:
NORTH: An hour before game time, the University opens the campus for
game parking.

the weekend festivities. The really faithful arrive on Tuesday.
Week of Big Game:
NORTH: Don't even know who they are playing on Saturday.

Game Day:
NORTH: A few students party in the dorm and watch ESPN on TV, wondering why "Game Day Live" is never broadcast from their campus.
SOUTH: Every student wakes up, has a beer for breakfast, and rushes over
to where ESPN is broadcasting "Game Day Live" to get on camera, cheer tirelessly, and wave banners.
Tailgating:

local radio station with truck tailgate down.
SOUTH: 30-foot custom pig-shaped smoker fires up at dawn. Cooking
accompanied by live performance by "Hootie and the Blowfish," who come
over during breaks and ask for a hit off bottle of bourbon. Televisions set up with satellite dishes so you don’t miss any football games shown that day.
Getting to the Stadium:
NORTH: You ask "Where's the stadium?" When you find it, you walk right in.
SOUTH: When you're near it, you'll hear it. On game day it becomes the state's third largest city.
Concessions:
NORTH: Drinks served in a paper cup filled to the top with soda.
SOUTH: Drinks served in a souvenir plastic cup, with the home team's mascot on it, filled less than half way with soda, to ensure enough room for bourbon.
When National Anthem is Played:
NORTH: Stands are less than half full, and less than half of them stand up.
SOUTH: 100,000 fans, all standing, sing along in perfect four-part harmony.
The Smell in the Air After the First Score:
NORTH: Nothing changes.
SOUTH: Fireworks, with a touch of bourbon.
Commentary {Male Fan}:
NORTH: "Nice play."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch -tackle him and break his legs."
Commentary {Female Fan}:
NORTH: "My, this certainly is a violent sport."
SOUTH: "Dammit, you slow sumbitch - tackle him and break his legs."
Announcers:
NORTH: Neutral and paid.
SOUTH: Announcer harmonizes with the crowd in the fight song, with a tear in his eye because he is so proud of his team.
After the Game:
NORTH: The stadium is empty way before the game ends.
SOUTH: Another rack of ribs goes on the smoker. While somebody goes to the nearest package store for more bourbon, planning begins for next week's game.
Nothing else in the universe comes even halfway close to the glories of Southern Football. ;-)

"You're gonna make it after all..."
So I have a new theme song. Well it's not really that new but I had completely forgot about it. The theme song to the Mary Tyler Moore Show!! It's perfect. I'll include the lyrics here in a few days, but they're written down in my apartment and I am in OKLAHOMA! woooooo. I drove here today because all of the LSAT testing centers in the Dallas area were full. But I love being home so I'm happy. Also, new boy is in the picture, by the name of B. Just met him on Sunday, but we hung out last night and I really think it's going to be something special. HOWEVER, I refuse to let myself get too excited too soon. We'll just see how things go. He has already invited me to Vegas though. So that's interesting. We'll see if that actually happens. Hope everyone had a great Thursday! Loves.

Sickness
So this month has sucked. No postings recently because I've been studying, so my apologies. I took the GMAT 2 weeks ago...NOT FUN. I did ok, but I really needed a high score if I want to get into a good school since I don't have that much work experience. Then, I'm taking the LSAT this Saturday...good God I must be crazy. So I've mostly just been holed up in my apartment studying and being a huge anti-social loser. BUT I will say that Texas did a good job of kicking Tech's ass this weekend (as expected) and last night I went to the Cowboys game and oh wow that stadium is absolutely gorgeous. I mean it truly is a work of art. However, I don't think I'll do the whole party pass thing again, that was a little too nuts for me. There were people everywhere and I would much rather have actual seats. Oh then there was a whole issue with cops later at BlackFinn...not the best end to the night. And I'm starting to get sick (hence the post's title) BUT it's supposed to storm tonight, which is always fun! Hope everyone is having a good start to their week. :-)

Boys Boys Boys
UGH boys can be so confusing. M and I went out some boys to a wine bar last night. It was really fun...one of the guys lives in my apartment building so we went to meet up with him and his friends. He's really cute and nice. Honestly though, I wish I could just skip the whole beginning part where you figure out if a guy really likes you or not and how far the whole thing will go. It'll be so much easier on everybody. If only. On a completely unrelated side note the theme song for "Sesame Street" has been stuck in my head allllll freaking day. Funny but annoying.

online classes...
So I'm taking online classes to help prepare for the GMAT and the LSAT. They're good but oh lord are they boring. I have a class right now playing on my desktop, and since I'm writing a blog post right now I'm obviously paying super good attention, haha.
I went out last night for dinner and drinks with L at primos...soo good. One of her coworkers brought this guy who kept kicking me under the table to try and get my attention, while at the same time had his arm around his girlfriend. Guys, THIS is why you get such bad reps for being players. Not cool. Then I met up with some people next door at Frankie's, and actually had lots of fun. I met a guy, but he's 30 and tattooed and has a son...really good guy, but not my type. I feel bad for blowing him off though.
Ugh why can't I pay attention. We're going over combinatorics right now, and I don't really remember any of this stuff from high school. Yet of course I'm barely listening. I get my hair cut tomorrow, I'm nervous! I don't like change or going to new people, so we'll see how it goes.

Update
Ok, so wow I never really did much after that first post haha. This last year I worked for Dell, in sales, which I recently just quit so I can move to Dallas. Why, I have no idea. We'll see what happens from here...it's scary but exciting because I have absolutely no idea where my life could go at this point.
What I do know is that I am slowly but surely turning into an old lady. For example, I spent this Saturday night not going out with other 20-somethings but instead reading a book on taking care of indoor plants and drinking a glass of wine. So exciting, I know. In my defense, I did go try out a fabulous new sushi restaurant last night with the girls (Sushi Axiom, off Henderson....sooooo good) and went out to some law school thing at a bar named zephyrs. I think I'm really going to like Dallas. :-)
