I feel like I only write about the weekends. It's probably because they're the highlight of every week. It's not that nothing ever happens during the week. Plenty goes on. However, when I look back on every week I think of the assignments I did and the tests I took. When I look back on the weekends I think of the time spent with family and friends. This weekend was a big one for both groups of people that I love spending time with.
Thursday was Erin's birthday, which meant big happenings in the suite. There were lots of balloons, a cake, and a pinata. And lots of Just Dance. Obviously. Unfortunately, I had a big math assignment due Friday, so I wasn't around for most of the festivities. Luckily, I did make it for the initial surprise and pinata full of candy (duh), bubbles, cheap rings and necklaces, and fake tattoos that kept us occupied all weekend.

Sketchiest pinata set-up ever...

The weekend was beautiful, which was really lucky, because my Saturday was spent at Castleton State College watching a football game. My cousin Cylas, who is a senior at my high school, plays on my high school's football team and his brother, Eli, a junior, is the manager. They had an awesome season and went into the championship game as the #1 seed with a 10-0 record. I went down (with a huge chunk of the Martell clan) to watch the game. Unfortunately, they ended up losing, which is a sad way to finish off such a great season, but 10-1 is still impressive.

Now, I love SMC, but being at a BFA football game made me miss high school just a little bit. I was big into school spirit and the way the crowd was screaming and waving the green and gold BFA signs and pom poms when the team entered got me a little nostalgic.
The student section was so unimpressively quiet that I grabbed Cylas' girlfriend and we made our way into it for the second half and got the chants going. It was a little weird considering I knew maybe six people, but I had a great time. I can't believe it's been two and a half years since I last stood stomping, clapping, and screaming "LET'S GO BOBWHITES! LET'S GO BOBWHITES!" Leading the girls that were freshman when I was a senior in my old chants was pretty hysterical.

The excitement for this week is Thursday night at midnight. (So that would actually be Friday) Why? BECAUSE HARRY POTTER 7, PART 1 COMES OUT!!! OBVIOUSLY!!! In honor of its premier, that I will be at, with about half of SMC XC, I leave you with this photo.
