After the initial reverse cultural shock, I have to say it does feel good to be back in the South especially for football season. There is nothing greater in the world than southern football. The battle hymn of the republic followed by those two simple words that represent the entire bulldawg nation will always send chills down my spine even when it is over a hundred degrees and I am jam packed into a crowd of sweaty cheering fans. This weekend will be amazing. A trip to the Grove with ten of my favorite sisters to watch the dawgs win big. I am hoping to do some research on the book I have decided to write in my spare time (not that there is much of that). I am excited about it. I will be able to put some of my travel writing skills to good use.
Big/little is tomorrow. I get a grandlittle. I is terribly sad that I feel old only a month after turning 20. How did time go by so quickly? Today I was walking to my car from the parking lot at the house and heard the whistles and hit of pads echoing from Clarke Central. Line it up! Run it again! Its amazing that it has been three years since I heard that. The coach is even retired.
I have already begun planning my trips to Tennessee, Florida, and New Orleans. I am definitely going to squeeze in a road trip to Wilmington as well. Good thing I drive a car that gets a lot of miles to the gallon.
New goal of the semester is to make new friends. Not just down town friends either, but strangely enough sober friends. Sober friends with connections would be the most ideal especially if they personally knew Rick Steves. I would love to meet him which is the new addition to my life goals list.
The special K diet was a somewhat success. I cheated a few too many times to loose a complete pants size, but--lucky me--I have more than enough special k products to try again next week when I am not craving chocolate and salt so much. Omni has also been successful. I am hoping to go to a yoga class or Pilates on Thursday to unwind from the chaos that will occur tomorrow. Here's to hoping it all goes well.
