Carlye (My RA), Megan (My intrepid teenage roommate) and Me! Tailgating!How has it been without me? Sad, yes? I really pity you. I get to be with me all the time.
The week has been pretty good! I feel like I'm really getting used to this college thing. Plus, it helped have gone home last weekend. Saw the friends, saw the family, was pounced upon by the church. Ooh, church pouncing. So painful. All that brick and mortar.
Anywho, the week was fun. It was short, 'cause of labor day. Therefore, Lindsay has decided to make a decree. From now on, no school on Mondays. No work either! Every Monday shall be a labor Monday!
LINDSAY: This is a good idea. All should obey me.
THE GOVERNMENT: Um. No.
LINDSAY: Pbbbt.
So maybe it won't actually happen. But it should.
What interesting things happened to me this week? (I know, I know, "Lindsay, everything that happens to you is interesting!" I keep telling you, I can't tell you everything! This blog would be too long.)
Class has been okay. Kind of boring, but oh well. French remains slightly terrifying.
FRENCH PROFESSOR: Ah ahm old. Ahnd kind av creepeh.
But I guess the most exciting thing (to you, maybe) is I went to the football game!
LINDSAY: W00t! *waves pom pom*
Actually, I did not have a pom pom, although I wanted one. Woe is me. No pom poms for Lindsay. No one loves her enough to get her one. (coughMegancough)
MEGAN: How was I supposed to get you a pom pom?
LINDSAY: I don't know. Be creative.
Well, the game was sort of fun. When they were actually doing stuff. And when I could understand the stuff that they were doing. And when I wasn't dying of heat exposure... There was a lot of
EVERYONE AROUND LINDSAY: W00T! OMG! YAAAAY!
LINDSAY: Yay! YAY! Wait... what happened?
MEGAN: We moved the ball 20 yards.
LINDSAY: YAY!
EVERYONE: ... We have already stopped cheering.
And some of
EVERYONE BUT LINDSAY: Aww.
LINDSAY: ???
MEGAN: (who is an expert by now, all hail Megan) We thought we made touch down, but it touched the ground at the one yard line.
LINDSAY: Awww.
EVERYONE BUT LINDSAY: We have stopped. Does she have some type of disease?
And more of
LINDSAY: Megan! Maddie said they had fireworks at her school! Every time they made a touchdown. Where are the fireworks???!
MEGAN: There are no fireworks.
LINDSAY: No fireworks? That is heinous.
We left at half-time, after the pretty band did pretty things. Megan had a dancing thing and I had a headache. So after we had dinner I went and lay down in my room... An end to the fun.
But I am going to take away the positives of this experience! YAY to watching guys jump on each other! YAY to watching a guy leap nimbly around another player like a bouncing gazelle! YAY.
And plus, any anger I had against UGA for the fireworks debacle was soothed today by the chocolate fountain. After all, what great wound cannot be cured by chocolate?

I love the pic! Football for me was an acquired tatse. I acquired it by going to games in the marching band in high school and making a lot of noise on and off the field. Going with a great bunch of friends and tailgating are most of the fun in college football. And it is nice if your team wins. Don't give up on it. Get to know the other people in the seats around yours. Make a lot of noise and ask the cute male vertebrate types to explain what's going on. It may grow on you!Especially after the weather cools off. Sorry about the headache.
I agree - football is an acquired taste when you have never played - and how could you, we're girls! Ha!
I know a decent amount about the game, but it is confusing with all the little rules. Basically, you have four times to move the ball 10 yards - if you don't then you kick off to the other team or kick a field goal. If you do make the 10 yards it's called a first down and you start all over again with trying to make the 10 yards. All the specifics of the crazy plays are beyond me! ;) Basketball season - now that's a college sport to look forward to! Although I hear Georgia football games are quite the experience!
Anyway, more pictures please! ;) And glad to hear you had a great weekend.
What a great blog ... love the conversation you write so eloquently and LOL, hilariously. The pic of you and friends is, in a word, AWESOME, it really adds a lot to your blog. I can only echo what your Mom said about football ... it's acquired as you experience more of the onfield, organized crunching and mayhem. Go with friends and whoop it up!!!
Hope you get to go to more games and also hope that your "willies" in French subside. Too bad that the federal gov't banned weekly Labor Days on Monday. It did son extremely attractive. Sure you would have a majority of workers behind you on that initiative.
Be good to yourself ... all my love, Dad.
Hey Cuz! Let us know how things are going. (You do know that this is your cousin Laura who lives in Memphis now, right?)
All the best!
