Don't be a filibuster!

Hola!

So, for the first time in 4.5 years my workload at AHL is fairly light! So, I’m done for the day and had some random things to just blurt out. Don’t worry though I’m sure my plate will be full in no time. It’s actually perfect timing because I have been studying hardcore for my Govt exam that’s on Monday of next week. I actually am starting to feel a bit confident about it because it’s not actual HISTORY and remembering dates. We’re going over Congress, Presidency, and The Courts. Yay!

As some of you know ‘Creeper’ was my favorite word a couple of weeks ago. All the cool college kids use it. It’s not quite a stalker, but someone who is just….creepy. So I think that now filibuster is my new word. Going over what ‘filibuster’ means, you can totally use it as another kind of noun and a verb!

Actual definition - A delaying tactic, used in the Senate that involves speech-making to prevent action on a piece of legislation

New Verb: We’ll use the name Chuck. Chuck is a clingy guy you’ve only gone on a few dates with. Chuck wants a 5 year relationship within 5 days. Chuck is pathetic. You had to put an end to it. So... You have to give a long speech to prevent action between you two……

You have to filibuster his ass.

New Noun: Girls Night Out! Single Gal is talking to Hot Boy. Single Gal's friend Chatty Cathy won't stop talking or leave Single Gal & Hot Boy alone. She is a delaying tactic involving speech-making to prevent action on a piece of legislation... or in this case... well you know what kind of piece I’m talking about.

Chatty Cathy can now be known as a filibuster.

Who’s passin this exam? Yup, right here.

Anyway, other than studying, not a whole lot is going on in my world. I’m almost done with my semester! Can you believe it?? My last exam is on the 9th or 10th. Sweet right?! It’ll go by so fast! I have things every weekend to do from now till Christmas. I’m going home this weekend for my friend Brianne’s shower de la bebe! I’m so excited to see everyone especially her lovely lady bump! I think that’s about it. I’m about to go eat with the grandparents. Can I just tell you eating at 5:30 p.m. is getting old. Pun intended.

Oh the college life.Football. Family. Friends.

It was one hell of a weekend here in the typical slow-paced, Lubbock, TX. As it’s been announced I don’t know how many times, Texas Tech Red Raiders beat the University of Texas Longhorns. It was one hell of a game too. Halloween ended up being just a tiny bit of the weekend.

I was supposed to go to some college parties with my cousin Lindsey, but wasn’t really in the mood, plus my dad was coming into town.
Lindsey still dressed up:

This was the funniest costume I've ever seen.

This is what she normally looks like:


Anyway, I was going to go as Medusa, and got half way ready and then stopped….


I stopped because my dad got into town with his friend Scott.
I decided to hang out with him instead. Here we are at Fox & Hound.

Jes & Jeff came up there too!

A very normal bathroom shot of Jes & me.


Sadly, Scott was here to cheer for UT. Boo.
Please ignore his burnt orange shirt.


This pic made me laugh.
Jes is throwing her ‘Guns Up’ at Scott’s ‘Longhorn’.


Anyway, next day was the big game!
The Will Rodgers statue was even dressed up for the event.


I had so much fun with my dad.
It was an absolute blast!

Kaylee, me, & Lindsey tailgating!

Unfortunately we were sitting in a burnt orange hummer and sitting on a Longhorn rug. Ew!!!!!

Ahhh the game at Jones Stadium!!


We win!


And the crowd goes wild!


It was the best weekend ever!! We all had fun and we’re all still recovering! I had good family, good friends, good football. Can it get any better?

Oh – if you DVR’ed Game Day, watch it again. My dad’s on there towards the end. Fast forward until there is about 24-25 minutes left of the show, and there he is, in a good 3-4 second clip, screaming his head off. It was absolutely hilarious! We gotta get it up on YouTube somehow!

That’s really all that’s gone here in Raiderville. This upcoming weekend’s game is against OSU – Cowboys. Yikes! I hope our Raiders play with their heart again. My friend Brian from back home is coming into town with his wife Melissa & some of their friends. I’m going to the game with them and am SUPER excited! I love this college life.

Shout out to my sister though! She’s in the band at Vista Ridge & they made it to state again!!!! They compete on Tuesday. Way to go VRHS Band!!!!!!!!!!!

Out.
