After being flooded with exams the past two weeks, it was nice to have a less stressful work load the past few days, making it a good time to be the media curator. I felt that I had a lot of obligations that I had to fill in order to made the make the most out of the curator week. I have an Instagram and browse on it often, but I find myself not posting as frequently as the \u201ctypical\u201d Instagram user. \u00a0When I have a picture in mind that I could possible post, I can never decide what to post and what caption to put, so I end up not posting at all! But I tried to be consistent and post at least once a day this week so I would not fall behind on the posts. On the other hand, I didn\u2019t have a twitter account until I began this class since it was just one more social media outlet I would have needed to keep track of. (I\u2019d rather pin things on Pinterest than tweet on Twitter). That being said, to be in charge of the twitter account was a more unique experience since I was pretty unfamiliar with it. Thankfully, we had a lot of work due in this class, so finding something to tweet was not too difficult!<\/p>\n
This project prompted me to explore Austin a little more, which was just the push I needed since I hadn\u2019t set aside time to explore the city yet. As a freshman I am new to Austin, and there are so many interesting things this city has to offer that I can\u2019t wait to try. One activity I did was take a segway tour around Austin. It was really fun, especially with the nice weather we\u2019ve been having. We went down 6th<\/sup> street and to the capital, giving me lots of opportunities for pictures. I am always sifting through my photo gallery while reminiscing over past memories. That\u2019s when I found the picture of me at the USEF National Dressage Seat Medal Finals this August. I had to miss my first Friday classes of college, which I thought would be stressful, but thankfully syllabus week saved me, and I had little work to finish during the competition. That left me with plenty of time to focus on performing well.<\/p>\n Although I\u2019m disappointed we are only allowed to post one picture of food, I\u2019m glad I was at least able to share the picture I took of a blueberry muffin dessert souffl\u00e9 at the restaurant Rise \u25e61 in Dallas. I could not resist going back to one of my favorite restaurants, so I went there when I visited family and friends earlier this semester. It\u2019s known for its delicious sweet and savory souffl\u00e9s and its good bread. If you go to Dallas anytime soon, I highly recommend going there!<\/p>\n Freshman year is off to a good start, and I\u2019m looking forward to the years ahead of being a longhorn. Hook \u2018Em!<\/p>\n\n
