While blogging is my favorite hobby, it's been pretty hard to find a bit of time around here to sit a relay all that is going on. In the midst of all of this craziness, I really need to pick a time each week that no matter what, is set aside for blogging.
ANYWHO...
So back to two weeks ago, starting with September 13th (ugh, wow, time is going by too fast). The week was jam-packed with lots of homework, dinner with friends, work, THON meetings and committee application drop-off, and my friends and I decided to live at Nittanyville for the week! For those of you that have no clue of what I am talking about, Nittanyville is the tent-camp set up outside of Gate A at Beaver Stadium. By participating you are guaranteed the best seats in the student section. Being that this was the annual week-long camp-out (they're usually only 3 nights) for the showdown against Rutgers, the long-nights sleeping on cement was more than necessary. 20 of my friends hung out for a week, jammed out to some tunes, ate some free pizza, and painted some big signs to be featured on the sidelines. What a week.
Gameday was incredible. I got to see my parents before going through the student gate, which I was super excited about. As campers at Nittanyville, we entered the stadium over 3 hours before game time. While this may seem boring, we started a section-wide game of charades, so it wasn't all that bad. In addition to our awesome seats, the stadium Stripe-Out that was perfectly executed made for an insane atmosphere. Blue and White filled Beaver Stadium to watch the Nittany Lions trample the Scarlet Knights. While I was sleep-deprived, I loved every single second of it.
After the game, I was able to catch up with my parents over foooood and I stayed the night with them in the hotel. It was so nice to have the fam in Happy Valley, even though it was only for a short while. Sunday was quite busy with saying good-byes to Coach and Mama Rei, THON Captain Mat Cleaning (we got down and dirty to help OPP out with scrubbing the mats for the floor of the BJC), a run-through of the Homecoming Parade, and a few hours worth of coding homework. While it was crazy, it was an awesome weekend.
Last week was also pretty busy (I'm sure you're surprised) between three exams, interviewing future PRCMs and preparing for another football weekend. Having five home games in a row is definitely a wild ride for all Penn State students, and the lack of recovery during the weeks is causing everyone to look pretty zombie-esque. But hey, we Staters are all about our football, so we're dealing with it.
I got to go on the field with the Men's Basketball squad before the game; being able to be up close to all of the players during warm-ups is such a cool experience. MY JOB ROCKS. I magically found my friends after leaving the field, so I was able to hang out with them during the game and watch the Nittany Lions win yet another game before some post-game tailgating.
The night consisted of some PR Captain bonding over Pitch Perfect 2 and lots of laughs. If you haven't seen the sequel to one of the greatest movies of all time, I highly recommend it.
TTYL I'M SURVIVING.
All my meal points going to coffee,
