New Experiences...

So today was the official start of my bulldog adventures. At Ms State they had what they called "Cowbell Yell" today. For some reason I was completely dumb to the fact that I would be out of place if I had no cowbell in hand. There was some 1000 or more students there and a whole crew of adults waiving about cowbells like a bunch of crazy rednecks. It was truly a culture shock for me. This cowbell yell was exactly what the title said, there was a bunch of cowbells and a bunch of yelling. One thing I thought was rather funny was we are playing my favorite tomorrow - LSU- and this was the official pep rally for the game so I thought I would hear a lot of trash talk about LSU when it fact it was not that way at all. The one phrase that I heard the most was "go to -you know where- ole miss." How funny is that!?!? You do not even have to play them to show your anger towards them!

Tomorrow is going to be day 2 of new experiences. They picked a mighty big game to try to break me in. First off its LSU and there is NO way I pull against them so i might be the only purple and gold in the student section. Then this might be there biggest game of the year... ESPN is even going to be here! - they were also there tonight taping the yelling rednecks shaking their artificial noise makers that are supposedly prohibited in the stadium. Lastly, it is a Thursay game, which is not common. So that basically means it makes parking for classes tomorrow very bad!!! So tomorrow ought to break me in! - if i make it through it!

Geaux Tigers!! beat STATE!

not being a good student

HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US,
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss –
The Father turns His face away,
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders;
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life –
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,
No gifts, no power, no wisdom;
But I will boast in Jesus Christ,
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer;
But this I know with all my heart –
His wounds have paid my ransom.

i love this song. i listen to it over and over and over again and its still awesome!
well i must go to bed. i have day 2 of education school tomorrow!
and the sad part is it starts at 8am!
if i were a good student i would have been asleep at least an hour ago!
