Sure, Baylor has an awesome athletic program, but if it wasn't for the strong accounting program (we're somewhere in the top 10 schools in the CPA passing rate), I wouldn't be here. It's too damn expensive.

PROUD TO BE A BAYLOR BEAR
At this point, many college football fans (and other random people surfing the Internet) know that Baylor's very own Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy last night. Though I am not a huge fan of organized sports, (I'm pretty sure I only went to 3 home football games this season), I guess RGIII is awesome advertisement for our already rich school.

Fall Break
Last weekend was Fall Break. I have no idea why Baylor, or any other college for that matter, calls it "Fall Break" when it basically is just a weekend with Friday as a bonus.
That's beside the point. The point is, I went to the Houston area for Fall Break, and I had an absolute blast. Being from Oregon, and my other friends being from Illinois and Colorado, we didn't really know what was in Houston, so it was a fun little adventure riding in a convertible around town.
We went to NASA...
And the Kemah Boardwalk
As well as one of my friend's high school homecoming football game
We also went to this restaurant called Le Peep where I also met The Little Couple from TLC! They were so nice to me and my friend, and it was such a surprise to see them on our little vacation.
After our little shopping rendezvous in Houston, we went to the Woodlands, which is not too far away. It was an interesting experience there. Just by looking at the houses and the people, one can tell that the Woodlands is a very well to do area, and I didn't find myself very comfortable there. I didn't feel "rich enough" and I felt that an above average number of people were judging me and my friends for our "not rich enough" demeanor.
Overall, I had a lot of fun. I guess it was better than staying on campus the whole weekend ya know?! :)

BAYLOR BEARS DEFEAT TCU
Yesterday, the Baylor Bears had its season opener versus the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs. It was predicted that TCU would totally dominate, and I even started believing that.
I didn't have faith in my team: big mistake.
Anyway, first of all, I did not realize how big football is in Texas. Even though the game started at 7pm, my friends and I went tailgating at around 4:30. I honestly did not know what in God's green earth what "tailgating" was, and I am waaaay too lazy to define it for you. It was like 110 degrees outside. Yeah, man. There were people passing out because of the heat stroke.
Baylor has a tradition for freshman. It's called the Baylor Line. We, freshmen, go run on the field at the beginning of the game and wear super bulky jerseys and cheer super loud.

Forgive my terrible filming skills. It seriously takes incredible talent to run fast enough not to get run over an to film. OK? Forgive the fool.
Anyway, Baylor started with a huge lead, but unfortunately, they totally got cocky and blew off our comfortable lead. This made for an INTENSE season opener, especially since TCU is ranked #14 in the nation. NOT ANYMORE FROGGIES!! I'm no pro at BCS ranking and all those sporty stuff, but I know the Horned Frogs are going down in the ranking.
Long story short, it was a wonderful experience for me. Not just because it was my first time going to a college football game, but also because I was so involved with the cheers and everything like that.

WEEK #2! (I can't think of an exciting title)
What did I do this week? Oh yeah, that's right... EVERYTHING
I guess I can start with last Friday. At Baylor, we have this thing called "Late Night," which basically is a HUGEEE fair with all of the different extra curricular activities students can join. Honestly, I signed up for so many organizations, I didn't even know where to start. I got 2 free t-shirts, so life is awesome yo!
On Saturday, I was super studious. ALLITERATION FTW! (seriously, I did not plan that)
Sunday, I went to church, and once again, I enjoyed it so much. Never before have I felt so excited to go to church, and I feel like I've been getting closer to God not just by going to church, but also He's the only one I've been relying on, since I'm all alone in Texas! Anyway, I also went to a life group, and everyone was so friendly, it just blew my mind. I haven't felt accepted in a church for about 5 years, but I can say, that my whole life is changing....and it's only the second week of college!
Monday, or I like to say, Mundee, (and basically the whole rest of the week), I went to different student organizations. Need an example? Great! I'm glad you asked. :) I went to Black Students Association (or something along those lines) and it was incredibly awkward. NO WAIT! It was Tuesdee! Right after that club, I went to African Students Association (because they had free food!!) but I doubt I'll return to either of those groups. I felt like there was a lot of dysfunction, and that irked me a bit.
Wednesday, I took a FREE Zumba class!!
(If you haven't noticed, I'm a poor college kid, who basically THRIVES on freebies)
It was so much fun, and so hardcore and intense at the same time! Kudos to those who work out to Zumba. I also realized how uncoordinated I am..but hey! at least I didn't trip, sprain my ankle, or do something remotely embarrassing. That night, I also went to church aka Dwelling Place. It's basically a worship service for college students, and it was awesome feeling the Lord's presence as we were singing. (I'll probably put a link to one of the songs). After that, some of my friends and I went to the library to "study" aka talk for nearly 3 hours, and accomplishing... wait for it.. wait for it... NOTHING! It was so much fun though. I'm such a social butterfly. :)
Anyway, today is Thursday...err to be politically correct, it's actually Friday morning (it's 12:17AM as I type this right now) and on Thursday, I went to the Tradition Rally, basically a huge pep rally for freshmen, in preparation for our first football game against TCU...
TCWho???
Yeah that's right. If you're going to watch ESPN try to find me in the crowd. The odds of that are so low, but I'm a huge believer in fighting the odds!
Want to listen to a good song this week? Great I Am
