Even though I'm not sure anyone's reading this at this point, I feel like I should say that this will be my last post until I reach Europe on Monday afternoon. I'm finally done packing, well almost. And once again, I have packed my life into two suitcases and a backpack. Let's just hope those two suitcases are not over the fifty pound weight limit. My daddy headed up to Reading today to help my grandparents move, and I cried for the first time. I'm sure it won't be the last time either. I'm starting to realize just how much I'm going to miss my family. I know this is a great opportunity, and for real, I'm so excited, but at the same time, I'm a little sad. My mom and I have gotten to be really good friends over the last two weeks, and I'm sad that I'm not gonna be able to talk to her everyday like I do when I'm in Oxford. God is good though. I just want to get there and get into a routine, but alas, I must be patient. Also, I'm a little nervous but not as much as I was earlier in the week. I pray that the Lord continues to take that anxiety away. I pray that He takes away my sadness.
FUN FACT- during the LSU vs. Mississippi State game, ESPN aired an OLE MISS commerical rather than a State commerical. Hotty Toddy, GO REBELS! haha... gotta love journalism.
my THOUGHTS on the OPENING DAY of COLLEGE FOOTBALL
So, today is the opening of college football, and seriously, I didn't think I'd be sad about missing this season until today. Ole Miss beat Memphis, barely (23-21). I would love to say that this season is gonna be different and the Rebels are gonna do better, but I'm not sure that any drastic improvement is actually going to occur. Today, the Rebs played like they always do- great until the end of the game. They can't finish a game, just look at the game notes from last season's UGA, 'Bama, Auburn, LSU games. Luckily, the guys held onto this win. On a really exciting note (for real, I feel like a mom), a bunch of the guys I tutored last semester started. Jonathan, Daverin, Nate, Dexter, Marcus, and Shay all saw a good bit of action today. I spent an insane amount of hours tutoring these guys in JOUR101, and I love watching them succeed on the football field as well as in the classroom. So for all the Rebel fans, here are the numbers to cheer really loudly for: 3, 5, 16, 22, 26, 28, 30, 42, 72. 90, and 92. Most of these guys are defense guys with the exception of two, maybe three. I've loved watching the SEC games today, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees that it's not the best conference in the country. haha. My school won as did my two non-SEC teams (A&M and Penn State), so I'd say overall, today was a good day. Hasta luego!
