Yesterday I had the "pleasure" of going to a football game. This was only my second ever, and both times have been fairly lackluster. First time the band - one of the highlights of our school's football matches - was suspended, and yesterday there was a serious lack of competition. If we had lost...well, I don't think we could have lost. I was however all psyched up for the drunken undergrads figuring I would see some interesting sights and rather happy that I couldn't yet recognize my students.
But really, they were all pretty chill. Nothing super extraordinary happened. One girl almost fell down the concrete stairs due to her drunken stupor, but was helped by a very nice gentleman. And someone before the game told me that he was "saving the world from nukes through psychedelics." Only other extraordinary sight was the girl whose boots looked more like Furbies wrapped around her ankles than actual shoes. I wish I had a picture b/c they might have been the ugliest shoes I have ever seen (in the U.S. at least).
Despite the lack of excitement, I did have a good time especially as the day was sort of a post-birthday celebration. I have not been having the best few weeks since around mid-August and didn't really do much on my actual b-day, so it was nice to socialize a bit. I also discovered my new favorite vodka. Wish I knew where to buy a bottle. It was flavored with blood oranges!! A bit sweet, but I like sweet drinks so it was perfect for me.
Oh, and I am ABD now, I finished my scarf/wrap thingy, and ... I was trying to think of some more good news, but drawing a blank. How sad.
Yay for ABD! And for finishing the scarf thingy. And for yummy vodka.
