This always happens.. I blog once then slack off for a week or so and then there's just so much piled up that I have to write about! I don't feel like including every detail of the past couple weeks, so I'll just fill you in on the highlights.
Well, I just sat here for a minute and can't even think of what has happened.
I'm super excited about getting out for Thanksgiving break on Friday! I'm going to see Harry Potter with my little bro Friday afternoon, then probably going to the TPS game. It's true, I can't stay away. Hopefully I'll be teaching math back at my good ole Alma Mater one day! I'm just looking forward to a relaxing week filled with doing nothing that has to do with school.... Except writing a History paper.
I'm going to the Iron Bowl this year. I don't know how I feel about this. I'm excited, but pretty nervous at the same time. I want Auburn to win SO bad. Like, I just really believe that our team deserves a win for all they've been through this season. No offense to all you Bammers, but I'm sick of everyone talking bad about Auburn. It's enough. We do not worship Cam. We do not live in a barn. We do not have a team or college full of "thugs." The students love it when the players run over to us after the game. As cheesy as you think it is, we ARE a family.
I have been to school at both Alabama and Auburn.... and words seriously cannot describe how different the two schools are, in my opinion. The second I stepped foot on Auburn's campus for SOS Day (Successfully Orienting Students Day) last November, I felt at home. You can ask my mom. I dreaded having to go back to Tuscaloosa to finish out the semester. The people are welcoming, kind, happy, caring, etc. I'm not saying that people at Alabama aren't. I promise. I'm just saying that there is definitely a difference in the two schools, and until you experience it, it's hard to explain. I can't really compare Auburn to any other college, because besides Ole Miss, these are the only two I've been to. Walk around the Auburn campus, sit at Chick Fil A in the Student Center, or go get some lemonade at Toomer's and you'll notice that the people are always happy. I never fail to see smiling faces and people laughing wherever I go. Also, this applies to the football team. Whenever I see them on campus, they're always in a good mood. They laugh and joke with each other and the other students, and are always nice when you talk to them or ask to take a picture. (I've never done this, I swear! Obviously I'm kidding.)
Ok this definitely turned into a "don't hate on Auburn" post. But for real, I can't think of one thing about Auburn that should allow it to be a target for all this disrespect. When people make rude comments about the players, it affects us all. I'm not trying to sound mean, I just love Auburn so much and am beyond thankful that I am able to go here. I wouldn't have it any other way. So naturally, I have to stick up for my favorite place on Earth! AAAAND, my brother Will got accepted finally!! YAY!! I can't wait to have him up here in Aubs with me next year!
I think this is enough for now! Gotta go study for two tests and write a paper.. What fun!!
