This week has been pretty interesting to say the least. I believe that it was the busiest week I have ever had in college thus far. I had two test, two quizzes, a presentation, a case study, an application due, and an interview. Needless to say, I did not have much free time. After five days of pure studying, I needed a fun and relaxing weekend, so I went to Nacogdoches to see one of my friends.
Early in the afternoon on Friday, I was walking to the Koldus building in my suit because I had literally just finished my interview for the Professional Program of Accounting. I was carrying four copies of my application for an internship abroad, and it was thirty pages long. After I submitted my application, I had a huge smile on my face because my weekend had officially begun. I hurried home and ate a burger while I threw clothes into a duffle bag. After five minutes of packing/eating, I got into my friend’s car and we drove to Nacogdoches.
My friend David is a music major at Stephen F. Austin, and he is in the marching band. This was the Lumberjack’s homecoming game, so they had a bonfire the night I arrived. I must admit that I have been spoiled by Aggie Bonfires, so I was not too impressed by the mountain of pallets they set on fire. It was interesting to see how a different school gets ready for a football game. At A&M we have yell practices; at SFA they basically have a party on the intramural fields.
During the game, I got to sit on the home side. This was actually really nice because I was in the shade most of the game, and I actually got to sit down. I haven’t sat at a football game in a long time, but I got used to the idea very quickly. I got to see David march at halftime, and they were pretty good, but I still prefer my nationally famous fighting Texas Aggie Band. SFA’s football team dominated the entire game and only gave up three points. The Aggies are actually going to play SFA next year. I’m quite confident that we will win, but if we don’t, I won’t hear the end of it from David.
After such a fun weekend, I am recharged and ready for classes again on Monday. Thankfully, the coming weeks are not as busy as the one I just completed. The school year is flying by, and Winter break is almost here.
