The Game

Do you ever wonder what those people who failed geography and math ended up doing as their profession? Well, I found out today. They are CBS sports casters for the Titans' games. Can someone please tell me where East Carolina is? Because there was a player from the losing Jacksonville Jaguars who is from East Carolina. Also, is the Tennessee football team the Titans or the Texans? Ya know, I always thought it was the Titans, seeing how we are the state of Tennessee and NOT Texas, but you can tell the news caster that because apparently he doesn't know. Finally, how do you know that a team has won a sports game? The team that has the most points right!!?!?!? Well, according to the CBS sports casters, that's not enough because in the last 40 seconds of the game when the Jaguars had their fourth turn over with the score at 17-24, the Titans needed to set up for a field goal.

I don't watch the Titans much any more because I had given up on them. Today was a great game though! I just wanted to share some of the things that I heard. The Titans may not be the best team in the league, but they are a lot better than most people give them credit for. So what if the offense only had about 100 yards total. I think its better to use your opponents offense to score points for your team because of turn overs than to use your own and risk getting hurt. Anyway, today has been a good day.

Home Sweet Home

Alrighty. Exams are finally over. I have survived the first week of school, professors, dead week, finals, and my first semester of college. I'm so happy to be done for a while. Anyway, this last week has been pretty hectic with studying for exams, selling back my books, saying good-bye to my roommate, and packing to go home.

Today Ryan and I left around 8:00 am (Eastern Time) to go home. It was a nice drive, not too bad. We had soooo much stuff in our car. Basically enough clothes to last through the month, including work attire, and presents. It was crazy. Before we both went home we stopped at Hume Fogg to visit our sisters and have lunch, as well as visit some previous teachers. It was great to see everyone again. It was like a Class of 2006 reunion. There were so many visitors today. It was fun.

After I dropped Ryan off, I went to Ate Jean's house to visit a little bit. After visiting her and getting some stuff done for potluck tomorrow, we went back home and unloaded all of my stuff. Then!!! We got to go see my new baby cousin, Norah Kate. She was absolutely beautiful. She is so precious. It was great being able to hold her for a little while. It is so nice to have another baby in the family. Speaking of younger cousins, I found out today that Billy, Geri, and the boys are coming to Nashville after Christmas. I'm so excited. Did I mention that I'm so happy to be home with family??

Anyway, just wanted to post a little update. I should have several pictures throughout the break. Have a great weekend!

Dead Week

Alrighty. This week is supposed to be "Dead Week" (hence the title). Anyway, it is supposed to be a time where the only thing going on is review for finals. That would be great and all except for the fact that I have 3 exams this week, in addition to learning new material in Calculus and World History. Let's just say that I'm a little stressed out. There are a ton of things to do, studying, finishing assignments, and doing laundry! Anyway, everyone, please pray for me these next couple of weeks. Pray that I don't go too insane and that everything will work out with finals.

Well the other day, when I happened to be really down, I saw that I got a package at the Housing office. Mom and Dad had sent me an Exam Care Package as well as a Cup of Inspiration. There was lots of snacks and lots of coffee and teas.




I also received two cards. Both unexpected, one from my grandmother and another from my aunt and uncle. Those were great surprises that really made my day.
In other news, I'm pretty much done with Christmas shopping. I'm just ready for winter break to go home and spend time with my family. Blog later! ;)
