that Texas Fight

It's a beautiful day in Austin, Texas. It's sunny, but not humid. There's a little breeze. It's perfect weather for just lounging outside and perhaps reading a book. So that's exactly what I did earlier today; I finished The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I got it like a month ago and always intended to breeze through it like I had with Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code. But I'm in this tiny thing called college and sometimes I just didn't have time. But it's done now. I don't know how I feel about the end. It had a great twist, but the ending was boring I felt. I wonder if this is Robert Langdon's last adventure. I sure hope not; he's quite an exciting fellow.

But this wasn't even the beginning of my day. Now that Interlull, the phrase coined by Arseblog, is over, I knew I had to be up and early to watch Arsenal take on Birmingham. I went with my new football buddy, Luke, to this little place I found about that's downtown called Fado's Irish Pub. We arrived a little early so we decided to explore around the city, but not before Luke called the douchebag looking Manchester United supporters a few choice words (he's Scottish but a proud Liverpool fan). We came back and took our seats in each club's respected section (ours happened to be next to each others so we sat together). My club ended the day with the 3 points; his didn't. It didn't help that the douchebags invaded the Liverpool area. Ah, so is the game of football. But we did have some Torchy's Tacos at halftime. They were quite good and Luke paid for both of us. A nice lad to say the least :)

Now, I woke up at 7:30am but I was still full of energy. I got back to my room, changed into my Texas Longhorns football jersey from my Arsenal shirt, and got ready to cheer on my 'Horns. It was such a ridiculous game with so many mistakes on both sides, but OU lost, as usual. 16-13. Not quite 45-35, but it's still a Texas win. Don't worry, The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You.

Despite my failures in my math class, I got a 103 in my PoliSci midterm and 17/20 on a fairly hard Political Controversies class. If only I were as successful in math...

And 10 hours after I woke up, I'm not sure what to do with myself. Half of Austin isn't here since they're all in Dallas because of the game. I'll have to think of something to do tonight.

Until the next great day.
