What a crazy weekend! Starting on Thursday night, I went to the Colbie Caillat/Howie Day concert at Stubb's. It was a really chill concert but I had to leave a bit early to go catch a movie at the Austin Film Festival. My friend and I saw Michael Cera's new movie, Youth in Revolt. It was really funny and a great movie to kick off the festival. On Saturday, I also went to a couple of panels at the Driskill Hotel. I went to "How to write Love Stories/Romantic Comedies" and "Script to Screen: Watchmen". The screen writer for Watchmen was the speaker and he was hilarious! Later that day, I went to the Paramount theater to listen to Ron Howard, Mitchell Hurwitz, and Steve Zaillian. I love Arrested Development so it was awesome to see Mitchell Hurwitz talking about the movie that they're making for it. Then yesterday, my friend and I went to watch a Japanese film called Happy Ending. The festival doesn't end till Thursday night so I still have a few more movies to watch till then!
On top of the film festival, I have a test this Thursday for MKT 460. It's over regression analysis...my favorite. :(
I'm also working on my application for the DGA Trainee Program for after graduation. One of the essay questions asks about a hardship I went through in life. I've always hated that question. Hopefully my answer won't be too cliche.
The regular season for IM football has ended and playoffs are just around the corner! My co-ed team went 4-0 while my women's team is 3-1. Hopefully I can win 2 championships this semester. Am I being too selfish??

What an Awesome Weekend!
I had so much fun this weekend in Dallas! My whole football group made the trip up and we had a blast eating and playing Friday and Saturday. The game was such a tease as it kept going back and forth but we came out of it on top and that's all that matters! The state fair also had some of the weirdest fried foods but they were pretty much all delicious! I probably gained a good 5 lbs this weekend so this week will be dedicated for detoxing. It's funny to look around in class and see everyone's sun tan! My friends and I put decorative stickers on our faces so now we are branded with Texas logos. I have a longhorn on my cheek. :P
Competing for some fried butter:
School spirit: 
Big Tex: 
Celebration Time:
Of course we had corny dogs:
My football group :) 
Thankfully, my MKT 460 class pushed back their test to next week so I only have a LEB test this Thursday!
Also this Thursday, the Austin Film Festival is starting and I got my badge last week. This is the first time I'm going to AFF so hopefully it'll be a good one!

It's 9:38 AM and OU still sucks!!
Whee! It's finally here! The OU game is this weekend and I'm leaving today after my classes to bear the traffic on I-35! I can't wait to go to the state fair and eat all the unnecessary fat that they offer. I hear this year's creative award is fried butter. That should be very interesting to try. I also hear fried snickers are amazing! It's also going to be a good time going back home to visit my family and not worry so much about school.
I hope everyone drives safely to Dallas and back! It's going to be a fun game! Hook 'em!

Where are all my jackets?
Brrrrr! This weekend has been unexpectedly chilly. I was looking through my closet and noticed that I didn't bring many jackets from home. Thankfully I'm going back home this weekend for the OU game!!! I'm so pumped! This is my first and probably last Red River Shootout! We better win or I will not come home a happy camper!!
I'm hoping I can leave in the early afternoon on Thursday. I'm going to move around my schedule so I can go to earlier classes so I can try to avoid as much traffic as possible. I have one test the week after but it's not until Thursday so I should be alright.
Did anyone watch The Office wedding episode?? Jim and Pam are adorable! Andy and Kevin are hilarious!!

A rainy ACL
ACL was pretty crazy this past weekend! I went on Saturday...the one day it poured all day! The whole park turned into a huge mud field and I almost wiped out a couple of times. I decided to throw away my sneakers at the end of the day because they got completely destroyed by the mud. Even though it rained pretty hard, I had a blast listening to new bands like STS9 and Jonathan Tyler. Of course, Mute Math was hands down the most entertaining of them all. ;)
This week in MKT 460, our group proposal for our research project is due. We decided to survey students about their thoughts on how the business school has been allocating its money. Writing good survey questions is a lot harder than I thought it would be! Hopefully our project will turn out well and maybe we can try proposing our findings to McCombs.
Golf has been getting really fun! In the next 2 weeks, I have to play 4 rounds of Par 3 courses. I can't wait until we can bust out the drivers and long irons within the next month!
OU weekend is coming up!!! We finally get our tickets starting this Thursday. I hope my group gets pretty good seats! I'm really excited to eat all the fried foods as well. My friend says the best is the fried snickers so I'll have to check that out. Other must haves: corn dog, funnel cake, turkey leg, fried pickles, fried ice cream. I should probably go on a diet these next 2 weeks to compensate for all the food in that one day!
Here's Mute Math again...Watch till the end to watch the craziness!
