She's Back!

My best friend is home after 7 1/2 LONG months in San Fransisco... man, I've missed her.

was it worth it?

Wednesday night the Aggies played BYU at the Spectrum. People started lining up in front of the doors Monday at 2 a.m.! By Wednesday at about 4:00p.m. it was said there were 3,000 of us lined up to get seats. My amazing roommate Kij went and stood in line on the HYPER field at 2:45. I was supposed to be there at 5 after my class was over, but Kij text me at 3 and said I'd better hurry and get there. I was in my Adult Development and Aging class (yes, it's as fun as it sounds) and our topic was death and dying. Right before my professor started the lecture she told us that last year when she taught the same lecture a girl started crying because her grandma had died the day before. She felt really bad for the girl so she told us that if anyone needed to get up and leave during the lecture that it was just fine... and that was when I got the text from Kij saying I should leave. Great timing, right? So, I got up and left class, and yes everyone stared at me as I walked out. But, what else was I supposed to do? I HAD to go to the game. :)

I stood outside from 4:30 to 6:15 and it was FREEZING. I can only imagine how cold Kij was...she is such a sweetheart. When we got in the Spectrum we could hardly find any seats together so we all ended up splitting up. In fact most of us ended up sharing seats. Me, David, Kij, Huss, Sara, and Flin all had that pleasure. :)

But now, for the best part... WE WON! 61-71. The first half was a little rough for us, and was quite nerve wracking to say the least, but the second half was great. It all changed when Preston hit back to back 3 pointers and from then on we pretty much dominated. The Spectrum was loud! I loved it. And yes, it was worth it. . .

To show how many of us were there. . .
