so, last night was the first football game that i've ever watched fully. It was intense and i now understand how people can sit through an entire game and yell at the tv and such (considering the fact that i was jumping up and down when UT got the ball back in the last 5 minutes and especially in the last like 30 seconds). <3 Vince Young.

Hook 'em

( having a ton of apush tonight was totally worth watching the 4 and a half hours of football last night )

ok, so this actually warrants a post.

If any of you guys have gmail - I don't know if you've noticed but they now have like sponsored links near the top of you email dealing with whatever it is in like the topic line. So, I opened up a debate email and it sent me to a site that sells everything for forensics.... http://www.forensicsgear.com/cgi-bin/store/cpshop.cgi
I just looked through that and laughed.... so all you debate nerds out there....enjoy

On another note -
- i hate the apush review
- i realized that i study too much when i don't need to just b/c i'm paranoid
- apparently, i'm addicted to the seasickness medication so i get to suffer from withdrawal effects
- this week is going by way too slow
- i wish finals were over.
- i wish everyone would come home....now

Good luck to everyone on finals and we should all have a huge party when it's all done.
