Whooo! Yesterday college football kicked off.

For people of UTSA, it was the first ever football game.

We started with Tailgating. We weren’t really sure how to do one but whatever we did, it worked.

Some of the people at the FTK tailgating.

FSA was next to us which makes it easier for me to go back and forth. No pictures with them though. Whoops. Next time, next time.

After sweltering in the heat, we headed to stand in line to enter the Alamodome.

I got to sit in the second row of the lower level. Sadly, we were put by the goal. Maybe next time I can sit on the side to get better view.

Football players practicing. Cheerleaders … not cheering. Just kidding .. I don’t know what they’re doing here but it’s better than them trying to pull of stunts. In my opinion, they need more practice.

The guy cheerleaders, I applaud. They were amazing. Found a cutie too. On the right you can see our inaugural marching band. Couldn’t really hear them but when they faced our way, we could.

Fireworks and sparklers. The players run onto the field.

Look at all the people. Can you see it?!

The game begins. As you can see, we didn’t completely sell out. But still. That is a lot of people.

This is my side of the world. We’re all sorts of filled up.

We had some birds somehow end up on the Alamodome. It was funny because when a play was going on on the opposite side, the birds would still be there pecking at the grass thinking it’s real. Wish those poor birdies get help soon. They’re going to starve!

That’s the number of seats that were filled! And it’s JUST our first game! We made a new record!!

South Florida set the mark on September 6, 1997 with 49,212 people.

We beat them by 7,531 people!!

That’s one of the of the things we are most proud of that day.

We won!! 31 to 3!! The crowd goes wild!!

And they run the field.

I would of done it since I was sitting on the second row but I had the fear of falling on my face and embarrassing myself.

I almost got pushed over. That would have been embarrassing as well.

And if you look closely, you can see some people getting arrested.

They warned us not to run the field so the first one they could catch, they did. I believe they caught 3 guys. Then a guy stripped down to his boxers, and of course, he was caught.

The group that sat together. FTK and friends! Whoo!!

Afterward, I went back home and showered. I sweated a lot and needed a nice long shower. Mmm, felt so good.

Then Travis and A.V. came and got me and we headed to Maira’s house to celebrate. I met her parents and her friend Laura.

We had pizza, made fun of one another, played pool, sang and danced to songs, played that game where you push a disk across, listened to music and talked, and you know, usual hang out kind of things.

It was very laid back and I loved it.

The thing I loved most is her dogs. Joey, Charlie, and Jack. They are so cute! Makes me miss Rocky, Pluto, and Krypto.

It was a good experience and to be there for the first one ever?! Priceless. And can’t wait for the next one. It should be better since I don’t have to work at the tailgate. Whoo!

I’ve been lazy all day and I love it.

Did you cheer on a college football team? Did they win? If not, what’d you do?!

I went to my Finance lab today (Friday) and my oh my it was BORING!

If you don’t know the basics to excel and you’re a business major … it’s not acceptable. Especially because we all grew up with computers and internet.

I’m mean, I know.

I went home and cleaned a little then headed back on campus for the two hour weekly FTK (For The Kids) meeting. This was our first official Friday weekly meeting. We got A LOT of things accomplished so that’s good.

Went home and relaxed for literally two seconds, and Travis and A.V. came banging on my door. We headed back to campus to pick up Maira and we headed to H-E-B.

Maira and I had planned to do dinner at my place for today and decided we should invite Travis and A.V. Bought our ingredients and made our foods. It was a pretty long process but I had fun. I hope they did too.

Spaghetti (the pasta) made by Travis. The pasta sauce by Maira. Chicken Parmesan by Maira and A.V. and I. And raw spinach. Whoops. Apparently I didn’t help much but I was washing everything that came into the sink.

A clean kitchen is a happy Melissa. When I eat at someone’s house, I end up helping clean up and washing dishes and stuff. I just don’t like when a kitchen is messy. It grosses me out. But a lot of times, they kick me out. At least I try, right?

The food was so yummy! We couldn’t finish any of the foods we made. We made too many. When you’re at Melissa’s, there’s always leftovers.

Maira and I made the cupcakes. Chocolate to be exact. Maira, Travis, and A.V. slathered colored vanilla frosting on top while I washed the rest of the dishes.

See! Hard at work. They might get angry I put their picture up here. Whoops.

This was the only cupcake I frosted. Pretty? Just plain vanilla frosting with blue sprinkles.

We all frosted this one. Cutes? Yeah … it’s pretty ugly.

Afterward, we watched Hot Tub Time Machine. I didn’t like it the first time I watched it but this time around, it wasn’t as terrible. Kind of funny actually. Guess the people you watch it with makes all the difference.

Sadly I didn’t get to do my Superset 3. I will make it up tomorrow when I do Superset 4. Promise! My arms and tummy feels like it did work from Wednesday. That has to count for something right?

Tomorrow (Saturday) is UTSA’s first ever Football game! I have to wake up at 6:30am and head to campus to meet some friends, get to the Alamodome by 8 am and set up for tailgating. I have to work the first one for FTK. Ahh excitingness!

Time to relax until I fall asleep.

I hope your week went well!!

Byeeeeee!!

Today was super crazy. At 6-8pm we had an FTK Open House so I got there at 5:30 pm to help set up!

I worked the Merchandise table and sold a bunch of stuff! Whoo!

I came home with two FTK shirts, two UTSA Rec towels, one Gatorade towel, and two Gatorade bottles. You know. The ones that athletic people use. Cool huh? It was FTK Clearance sell and not buying some of these things would be dumb on my part.

I came home and heated up my food. As I’m about to sit down to eat and watch my Chinese soaps, my phone rings.

It’s brother bear! aka Travis, my next door neighbor. I’ve known him for a little over a year now. I haven’t seen him for three months. (That should be a crime.)

He said he and A.V. were knocking on the door. Whooooops. I cannot hear the front door from my room (which I love!).

I opened the door and he’s holding this!

He bought this movie to surprise his girlfriend on Valentine’s Day so they could watch it. It’s her favorite and he knew she already has this movie so he’s been meaning to give it to me … and did … finally!!

I’m excited to watch this again. I love this movie! Do you like this movie? If your answer is no, I don’t know if we can be friends anymore.

Then they made me go eat Whataburger with them so I put up my food. Happy I got to catch up with them!

 

It’s been a stressful day so seeing Travis & A.V. was good. Now I’m all tired and lazy and don’t want to read for class. Not good. Not good at all.

Jenny and I went to some liquor store a few days ago. And look what we found!!!!!!

Wine with the name Bitch! I would love to try it!

So I’ve finished the Flatout Flatbread The Original and am moving on to the Flatout Flatbread Multi-Grain with Flax.

Mmmm .. carrots and peanut butter (Peanut Butter & Co.’s The Bees Knees to be exact). YUM!

The Multi-Grain with Flax is more floury than The Original. It is also more grainy. DUH! But it’s still okay. So far it’s not as great as The Original.

What’s inside? Oh just a turkey dog and spinach. Mmmm.

Look what I made!! It’s green pepper with an egg in the middle. Kind of looks like a flower huh? Hmm … guess it’s just me. It’s so cute!!

I’m slowly getting into the workout scene again. I seriously need to find a place to run. It’s still too hot outside. Thank goodness the humidity stayed in Houston though.

Being a little lazy, then study time!
