Is this Senioritis?

I have my first test in MKT 460 tomorrow and I'm taking my time out to write this entry. I don't know if it's senioritis or if it's because I'm pretty confident with statistics. Either way, I should try my best so I don't surprised by a challenging test.

Today in my Creativity and Leadership marketing class, we split into groups of 3 and told each other a problem we were going through in real life. Then we would help give each other an "alternate reality" in that situation. For the next week, we're supposed to live in that alternate reality and see how things change accordingly. It was a pretty interesting activity as I got 2 new and fresh perspectives on the problem I was facing. It'll be interesting to see how my alternate reality plays out this week!

I also just finished playing my first intramural football game with my women's team. We didn't get to play last week because of the rain but we had no trouble winning today 42-0. Our co-ed team has another game this Sunday! IM soccer is starting up tomorrow so I might be playing on a team for that.

In BA 101, we just taught the students about using OCR and the other job search engines. I've mainly stuck with McCombs Job Board and Access UT since OCR doesn't really post anything in entertainment. Speaking of which, I should start looking for work next semester since I'm only taking 1 more class to graduate!

Alright, well I should start studying for my test now. After the test tomorrow, I'm free!

P.S. Jim and Pam on The Office are finally getting married!!!

Mighty Fine

Has anyone tried Mighty Fine before? I just had their burgers and shakes today and it was awesome! I haven't tried P. Terry's yet but that's next on my list!

This weekend has been pretty fun. I finally went to a UT football game on Saturday. It was a blowout and was scorching hot. My group left towards the end of the 2nd quarter when we got that amazing one-handed touchdown!

I had my first LEB test last week and I did alright on it. I should've gotten a better score as I kept changing some of my answers but I'm in a good position for the next one. I have a MKT 460 test coming up this Thursday. We've been dong a lot of statistics with hypothesis testing so hopefully I'll be alright with that one.

ACL is also coming up this next weekend!!! Hopefully the weather will be a bit cooler than it was this weekend.

Paramore is coming out with a new CD this Tuesday! Here's them covering Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody".

IM Football...Yes Please!

How was everyone's weekend? I didn't end up going to the Texas Tech game because I sold my ticket but hooray for winning! I cannot wait for OU! I'm definitely making the trek up to Dallas with my friends for that one.

Speaking of football, intramural season has started and my coed team is 2-0! I'm also playing in a women's team and our first game is this Wednesday. Hopefully we can win 2 t-shirts this year. I might also be playing IM soccer and that starts next week!

I've always been pretty competitive and this semester is capitalizing on that. I'm also starting to make a group to play trivia at Pluckers every Wednesday night. It's going to be awesome eating wings and spitting out useless facts almost every week!

Tomorrow we're doing our "fashion show" for the BA101 classes. I'm going to model as the bad business casual dresser. Honestly I'm glad I'm the bad dresser because there's definitely more pressure modeling as the good example. Hopefully I won't look too bad though!

ACL is coming up in less than 2 weeks! I'm going to be there on Saturday and cannot wait for Mute Math!!

TIme to get crackin'

My voice is almost completely back. I've realized how much I miss singing this past week as I can't really hit high notes yet. Hopefully by the end of this week my vocal chords will be completely healed.

Did anyone watch the VMA's last night?! I'm not surprised that Kanye West did what he did. I'm just more surprised that it happened to Taylor Swift. She is probably one of the sweetest celebrities in the industry right now. It was really hard to watch her take that blow. Also the Twilight cast finally released the full theatrical trailer for New Moon. It looks like it'll be filled with a lot more action than the first one! I'm definitely excited about that one!

I'm really starting to like my LEB class. My professor is hilarious and he makes the class go by quickly. I'm surprised that I find this class interesting because I've never really enjoyed law and court cases. My other classes are very enjoyable as well. In MKT 460, we've been assigned a group project where we need to collect data on college students. My group hasn't decided our topic yet but it should be fun working with each other.

No cheese please

I'm putting myself to vocal rest now. My voice is coming back now but I'm trying to speed up the process. I've cut dairy products out of my diet and I've been trying to drink hot water with honey every night. I really hope it'll be back by Friday! I think I freak people out in class when I talk because they don't want to get sick. I promise I'm not sick anymore!

...and now I lost my voice

What a great way to spend my Labor Day weekend! I hate it when I completely lose my voice. Even worse, I'm running really low on texts so I can't even communicate to people properly. I've been carrying around a notepad so I can write everything out instead. I hope I can regain my voice by Tuesday. I might not even make it out to the recruiting events because of my illness. Bah humbug.

So being sick and all, I had to miss the game tonight against ULM. I was really looking forward to going with my friends. Instead I stayed home and cooked some pasta from a box. It ended up tasting too much like bacon. I'm going to stick with mac and cheese next time.

I'm starting on an assignment for my creativity and leadership class (MKT 372). It's a really interesting class as it deals with your personality and the human condition. The assignment is basically an autobiography on major events that shaped who you are today. I've never really wrote down my life story before so this should be really interesting.

Other than that...WHERE ARE YOU, VOICE?!?

I'm not sick...

Only a week in and I'm sick! I think I'm getting better after sweating it out but I woke up to body fevers and a sore throat today. Honestly, the first thing I did was looking up H1N1 flu symptoms. You've got to be prepared for the worse!

My classes are going really well right now! I'm enjoying all of my professors and their lectures are very interesting. Tomorrow's my first day at the golf range for class! We're starting off with putting and working our way into full swings. I've played golf a little before college but this will definitely help me become a better player.

Speaking of sports, intramural season is starting!! I'm playing football with Coed C and Women's league. I'm also playing in Coed soccer. It's going to be a hectic athletic season but I'm ready! We are defending football champions (find me in the Gregory pictures!).

I can't believe recruiting starts next week!! Careers 24 starts off with the Career Expo! There's a lot of events being crammed into a couple of days so make you keep your eyes and ears open for these opportunities!

And here's some Paramore!
