Lying Eyes

So much to say....

Despite the football team falling to 7th in the Pac-10, we still get to go the second place bowl, which seems totally ridiculous to me.  Just another sweet gig this year that just fell into our laps.  And people are going to whine about the bus trip and whatnot, it's a different trip, to a different city, playing a different team, what's not to love about this?  We shouldn't even be in a bowl game since we're 7th, and we get this....so grateful.  And the way I found out, by Steve Sarkisian tweeting that UW was headed to San Diego, is exactly why I even have a twitter in the first place haha. for sports and more sports that espn simply can not give me.

Anyways, there's other stuff that happens before this though.  Finals are next week, which is lame, especially because I have two on Tuesday morning, after a Monday night band rehearsal...yuck.  Oh well.  And the Icecats game against ASU is next weekend, and people are coming to visit, it's gonna be quite the couple weeks down here in Tucson before heading back up to that white place called Flagstaff for Christmas.

And back to the original purpose of this silly blogging thing, I go back to the zoo two weeks from today!! :)  I'm so excited to be back there on a weekly basis, and to see what's changed over the last few months.  I'm glad I can go in once before Christmas just so I have an idea of what's going on there before being a regular again.

It's time to not let anything that anyone says bother me and just live life the way I want to, and not let them hold me back or ruin the experiences that are about to happen.

I thought by now you'd realize, there ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

Holiday Road

So, this has been a crazy week. Ups and downs pretty much nonstop. And I have Holiday Road stuck in my head, so that's the title, and it works well for what's coming up this month I guess.

We're going to the Holiday Bowl!! It's really exciting, but if I don't seem too excited about it in person, it's because my best friend in band can't go. It was the only bowl she couldn't go to because she'll be on a trip. It'll still be fun, just not as awesome as it could have been. I'm really excited to go to San Diego for the second time in 5 months, and hopefully we'll get to do some of the fun stuff the team gets to do. Guess I'll find that out tomorrow or next week.

In other football stuff, I can't believe how terrible the BCS is. When will we get a playoff? And matching up TCU and Boise St.? Really? That doesn't give them a shot to prove their conference doesn't deserve to be an automatic qualifier. Just another way to keep the little man down. The NCAA seems to be really good at doing that.

Went to an Icecat game for the first time this year. 8 goals in the first period...yeah. Weber St. was bad. But ASU this weekend should be a lot better.

Percussion ensemble concert last night was awesome. Everything sounded great, except for the very last note haha. It's weird that we knew it wasn't the last time we were playing together as a line, even though maybe some people won't be in San Diego. But that'll just be like any other rehearsal this year. I'll bet the number of times everyone was at the entire rehearsal was probably single digits this year, and that's sort of ridiculous.

I watched Harry Potter and paid attention for the first time ever. I think it was the third one, but I'm not sure. Anyway, it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. May have been the company though :) And Rudolph was on earlier this week. Nothing is better than that, except for maybe Christmas Vacation.

This blog stuff is weird. I still don't get it, but I have a month to figure it out before it actually matters I guess.

Holdin on to that feelin
