A Change of Pace

Two weeks ago, right after the Texas OU game, I had the busiest school week of my semester. I had two presentations in Integrated Communication Management class, an astronomy test, and a paper due. It’s funny how there always seems to be one week in your semester that is just overloaded with schoolwork. Having Texas OU the weekend before this “hell” week didn’t help. With little sleep I was able to  My fraternity had our parents weekend starting Friday, and despite my parents not being able to come to Austin, I was looking forward to the festivities and seeing my friends parents. Friday night we had a casino night with a ton of blackjack, roulette, Texas hold’em, and craps tables. All of the chips you won were counted as tickets towards a raffle for a shotgun, an Xbox One, a hunting jacket, and a Yeti cooler. Sadly I didn’t win but it was still a great night, and greatly needed after the week I had in school. For game day on Saturday, we had a tailgate with all of the parents which is always a great time with catered food, a bar, and college football on the TVs. 3o minutes before the Texas kickoff we made our ways to DKR stadium. A friend of mine was actually giving away free touchdown club tickets so one of my best friends and I were able to sit in the club and revive more free drinks and food. To be honest the seats were so far from the football field that it was hard to follow the game but having the opportunity to sit in club seats was too good to pass up. Despite the hard week it was great to see my friends parents and have once again a great parents weekend.
