So it is hard to believe that I have been here at UAB for a month now. I have had some pretty fun times and some moments when all I wanted to do was come home and stay; however, I'm standing strong and continuing my dream.
Well this weekend I went to my first UAB football game :) Not to mention my first college sports game ever!!!! I had a lot of fun (despite UAB losing 33-35). I went to the tailgate party before the game where one of my friends competed in the Krystal hamburger eating contest (pretty much the grossest thing I have seen in awhile). There was free food, drinks, and I got a free t-shirt :) During the game, I was in the student section right next to the band, I was totally immersed in all the cheering, fun, and crazy people. The downfall is it was hot and there were people packed on top of people!!!! I was roasting (but having a ton of fun).
I was also suppose to go to this volunteer training session on Sunday; however, my friends car broke down. This is the beginning of an interesting story...The car was going up hill when all of a sudden the car starts rolling backwards!!! Thank the Lord nobody was behind us. She slams on the brake and tries to push the gas, but we just roll backwards. We are on a two lane road and there wasn't any side walks....we were screwed. Eventually, she puts the car in neutral and we roll into an alley to get out of traffic. Now just to make the story clear, there are 3 girls and a car with the hood popped...we have no idea what is wrong or how to fix it. We are watching cars come by and just stare!!! At least 30 people pass, then someone stops.....TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS!!!!!!!! How rude can people be? They never asked if we needed help or anything....I mean seriously? Well we eventually get towed back to Blazer Hall :)
I spent the rest of my weekend studying for my first college exam (Psychology). I will let you know how it goes once I find out; however, to pre-warn you, I am pretty sure I bombed it. First tests always suck because you don't know what the professor expects you to know.
So there are a couple of things I have learned:
1.) College football games are fun!!!
2.) Sometimes cars just don't cooperate.
3.) I miss my best friend :(
4.) Resume's are a pain and are way to complicated.
Just to remind you, I'm still waiting and being strong :)
