Yes indeed, go dwags. For the more literate and less inebriated portion of the population, a translation reads Go Dawgs! It's game day at Mississippi State and I've got my fingers crossed for another win. The fact that we're playing Auburn does worry me, but hey, we beat them last year! Then again, last year we didn't start out the season losing to Louisiana Tech.
As exciting as game day is, I am not really in the mood for it today. Today I am sniffly and achy and tired and just want to stay in bed watching the rest of Season 1 of Heroes. But duty calls. So at 4:15 I will put on my brand new, never-been-worn-by-anyone marching uniform and trudge over to McCarthy Gym to warm up with the band. Atleast I'll be trudging in style though! As I just mentioned, the new uniforms are making their debut today. Exciting times in Band Land!
The game comes on at 6 pm CST/7 pm EST on ESPN2. Tune in and pray that we don't get slaughtered!
Go Dwags!
I'm Still Alive!
Yes, contrary to popular belief, I did not drop off the face of the planet. I simply moved to Mississippi! We don't get Internet in Mississippi, so I couldn't write in this blog. No, I'm just kidding... Internet is just one of the many wonderful things that come along with Mississippi State University! I love it here, and you should all come visit me so you can share in the gloriousness. I am especially loving it today, because today, after nearly 2 months of having a computer that corrupts files, won't run certain programs, and occasionally can't find the internal hard disk drive (nothing major!), I got these problems fixed! That just makes the whole world seem better to me. Granted, it took a cumulative 3 hours on the phone with Dell and 2 internet chats on dell.com to eradicate the problem, but the point is that my computer once again works just the way God intended it to! Hallelujah!
Alright, this post was just to let you know that 1) I'm not dead and 2) neither is my computer. I'll try to be more diligent in the future, but right now I have a Chemistry exam to study for. Have a Thrilling Thursday!
P.S. Here's a picture, in the likely even that you have forgotten what I look like.
Jones Soda
Hi family! Have you ever heard of Jones Soda? Well, if you haven't, it's fantastic (Cara got me hooked on it, she can have pretty good taste sometimes! haha.) and kind of unique in that they make their bottle labels from consumers' photographs. You can go to their website and submit any of your photos that you think would look good on their labels, and people vote on them, and every few months they choose a bunch of photographs to go on the bottles. So I thought, "hey, that sounds fun!" and I submitted several of my photos. Below are itty bitty thumbnails of them, and each thumbnail is linked to the page where you can vote on that photo! You might notice that Leah and Cara both made an entrance, and Bryce got 2... I need more pictures of Ian. Thanks, have fun, and you can vote for as many as you like!
In other news, Prom was a few weeks ago and that was super fun. Since it was at the Aquarium, I even got to dance with Belugas! That was the highlight of the evening, haha. There are a lot of pictures, so I just stuck the pictures on a web album, which you can look through if you have time. Dane was a great date, and my parents prepared an amazing dinner for us (we ate at my house to save money, since the prom itself cost a ridiculous amount), complete with white paper tablecloth and crayons with which to color on it!! Yes!! Haha just because you are going to your Senior Prom doesn't mean you need to act like a senior.
On Monday, Mom and I are heading off to Mississippi State all day for Honors Orientation... I'm really excited! Of course I'll let y'all know if anything super exciting or noteworthy happens there... In the meantime, have a fantastic week, and don't forget to vote!
