Flag Football

Hey all,

Here is a mid-week update.

This week has been pretty good. Not a lot of work and not to busy.
This week I don't have any classes on Friday. :) lucky me. My 2-D design professor has a convention that he has to go to so he canceled class on Friday and my photography class is only meeting with half the class for critiquing pictures and my class did it today.

Now I don't think I have talked about this but I signed up with a few of my roommates and joined an inter mural flag football team. we have played 2 games . Our second game was today and the other team was just ridiculous. They started off with illegal block for flag football with basketball screens. I don't know how you get those two sports confused but they did it. Well one kid on the other team was rushing our quarterback so a teammate and I were defending him at the snap. This kid was about 2 of me tall and built solid. The way he kept rushing me was illegal for flag football. It was called bull rushing. I don't know. But the one time he did it he knocked me to the ground, no big deal, 5 yard penalty in our favor and I didn't think twice about it until I started to walk a little bit on my foot. I got me a nice bruise on my ankle and the picture doesn't do it much justice but you can see the bruise inside the yellow circle.

Just wanted to give a small update :)

2 Yards

Ok all. Today has been an event packed one. This morning I woke up at 6 to join in the Sorrel 5K. I walked with a couple friends and a really nice lady that we met there. That doesn't sound so bad but when I finally got to bed it was 2:30. My own stupid action. lol. Well I had just enough time after the run that my roommate, myself, and a friend came back and made pancakes for breakfast. They were really good but I just couldn't eat more than 2. After breakfast I was in the homecoming parade and just walked and held a banner. Lots of fun.

Then the fun started. I was at the tailgate party and was just handing out more shirts but I was enjoying it more this time. I got my face painted as you can see in the picture, and went to the football game. That was fun but a HUGE disappointment.

We started the game pretty even 0-0 until about the second quarter when the other team got the field goal for 3. Following that they got a touch down and PAT but we came back with a TD and PAT. We stayed there for a little bit when we had a miracle play and got ahead by one point. We were in the 4th quarter and we all thought the game was over when..oops, fumble here and punt there. They got up another TD.
Depressed we tried and tried when we finally got to the goal line with 30 seconds left and 2 yards to go for the tying TD and point winning PAT. Our QB ran back and threw his first pass. interception but lucky for us he was out of bounds when he caught it. We then tried a run play. We lost yards. So once again the QB threw a pass. It was right there in the receivers hands when... he wasn't quite tall enough but the guy behind him was. Interception. We lost the game by a full TD and one bad play. I have no voice, my face is painted still, and yet no homecoming win.

Oh well I guess there is always next year.

In depth weekly update

Hey y'all

Back again to give a more in depth update on my week. If you missed my short one from earlier this week you should read it.

This week is homecoming and there for we have a lot of activities going on and the best part. FREE FOOD. I went to the homecoming bbq tonight. I wasn't able to enjoy it to much because I had my evening class tonight at 7 and that cut out all of my fun with the bbq but oh well. The class is more important. I am excited for the game on Saturday because it will be a HUGE party and a lot of free food. It is also the first game with me being the Thorcorps president. I was able to finish the constitution with some help from my freshman board adviser.

Classes have been going really good. I handed in my first assignment for my photography class on Wed. and tomorrow I am turning in my drawing for 2-D design.
I finally had my first college test on Tuesday in my psychology1010 class and it wasn't to bad. A little different than what I am used to but I wasn't expecting the same old. The best part is that I had my second college test today in my art retro class. It wasn't to difficult but I didn't understand some of the words used because I didn't have them in my notes and we don't have any textbooks for the class so I wasn't the only one to guess on those questions.


Hope you all are doing well,

Quick update

Hi all,

This is just a quick update on a a key subject I know you all are wondering on.

I am now dating a wonderful and beautiful girl named Tanika. She is an amazing person and she is very smart. She was in the honor society and was one of the tops of our class (we went to high school together). She is going to UVU now but I know that we can over come the distance. I spent the weekend at her grandmothers house and we just connected on a deeper level. She is a very special person to me. She has helped me through a lot of stuff and has been beside me every step of the way. Every minute I spend with her I have a hard time thinking of anything else or concentrate on anything.

I will do a longer more thorough update later this week

SUUSA

Hey all,

Hope you all have been doing well. Classes have been going well this week, nothing new has happened in my classes but outside there is news. As I have said in a previous blog i believe but just in case....
I am in a school organization called SUUSA. It is the student association and as a member I just help out with some of the different school functions and there is a branch club that SUUSA is over called Thorcorps. It is a club for students to join that gets them seats to the different sporting events and they cheer loud and proud. Well this last Saturday there was a football game and the different sections of student government hosted different activities at a tail-gate party. I was in charge of handing out T-shirts to the students who signed up for Thorcorp. The freshman board leader kept a steady eye on all of the activities that SUUSA was in charge of.
When I was at our weekly meeting tonight I was appointed the president of Thorcorp. Here I have to write up the club constitution that all of the members must follow. This posed me with a bit of a problem and it is a good challenge for me if I want to run for any position on the student government for next year.

The job hunt is going a little slow but tonight I applied for a job helping disabled adults in the community. This was recommended by my one roommate and RA, Cameron, who works there. I am hoping that I get this job because I need money :-s


That is all I have for right now, I hope you all are doing well and best of wishes =D

Another week

Another week has come and gone along with just a painting assignment and the continue for the job hunt.
Classes have been ok this week. Started a bit slow but that is because of the long weekend, which I hope you all enjoyed safely. I started off easy with UNIV 1000, just reviewed a paper, and our prof. for PVA 1040 had to attend his mother-in-laws funeral so we didn't have class and then a good lecture in PSY 1010.
I had homework to do today though for my 2-D drawing class where I had to paint a work without making it look like the word. It was a bit challenging at first but I finally got it. I hope it is done right though.
Saturday I am helping out at the football game with SUUSA and getting a freaking awesome shirt. I am hoping to get some good pictures at the game. :)

That is about all I have to update for now

Best wishes to all

Austin
