These past couple of weeks I have definitely been watching a lot of good football games. Luckily, Texas pulled it off against OU last weekend (close 16-13) and there have been a ton of other close games as well. Last weekend Tulane had fall break so we did not have school on Thursday or Friday. It was a good weekend. I mostly spent it working on a paper and catching up on some much needed rest. Practice has been going great; I love being able to have the opportunity to get better each day. God has truly blessed me with so much. I helped work on the chapel house behind the Chapel of Holy Spirit this past Saturday, which was a lot of fun. I have not been able to get over there as much as I would like this semester so it was nice to have chance to help out. I mostly worked on help putting up sheet rock. Then on Sunday, a number of the student-athletes volunteered at Boo at the Zoo. I wore a harness then a cable raised me up. I pretty much pretended to be a prop then I would scare the people as they drove by. It worked pretty well and I had have fun doing it, though it did get a little uncomfortable at times.

Homecoming and Destin, FL
A lot has been going the past few weeks. This past week was Homecoming week and parents weekend. My mom flew into New Orleans Friday night and we grabbed dinner on Magazine Street. Saturday we drove to Destin, FL for my cousin’s wedding. Though we missed many of the homecoming activities, it was nice to take a break in Florida. Destin is gorgeous, the sand was white and the ocean was green. The wedding went great and I was able to spend some quality time with the family. I have also definitely been watching as much college football games as I can; it has been a great season so far. I am excited for the big game this weekend with the Red River Shootout (Texas v. OU). Tulane also has fall break this week so there will be no classes on Thursday or Friday. The Track & Field team also received two new assistant coaches, a sprints/hurdles/relays and a thrower’s coach. The semester has been challenging on many different levels, but as far as school, it is a little tough. Overall, it has gone well and I am grateful for what God has been able to show me this semester.
