So I have officially been a college student for two weeks and it's been pretty great thus far. Had some ups and downs but the majority of college life has been good. I got talked into auditioning for a play and ended up getting a pretty main part. I've never acted before but I am going to be Philematium in Mostellaria. So...I'm the recently-freed whore who is shacking up with some drunken playboy. But the play itself is hilarious, so I'm really excited about it. It'll be interesting to try to be off-book by September 22... [sighs] I don't know if I'll be able to remember all of my lines by then, but I'm hoping I can...

Anyway, my mommy is here this weekend! It's been so good to see her. I'm not really homesick but I definitely missed getting to see and talk to her every day. All of my friends definitely love her [laughs]. She cooked us all dinner last night and then took us out to Chili's tonight for food. So we've all been spoiled over the weekend. It's so much better than nasty dining hall food. We have had some sketchy food in that dining hall. Breakfast and lunch aren't so bad but dinner is puke-inducing. We have what we have affectionately dubbed 'the French-toast burgers'... Which is quite literally a French-toast burger. Two pieces of French-toast with a hamburger patty sandwiched between them. It's so gross... So Mom's cooking was a sight for sore eyes.

We also had our first home football game. I'd actually never been to a football game and let me tell you...it's intense. I'm not a good judge of what is and what is not a good football game; my mom, however, is. And let me tell you we were up and down. There were interceptions and crazy touchdowns and we traded the lead and FINALLY my school threw down like in the last 3 minutes. It was awesome. I am planning on going to some more football games. [laughs] So it's been a good weekend. I'm kind of sad that tomorrow has come so quickly because I need to work on my homework and do laundry once my mom leaves and I know I'll be sad...but it's been such a blessing to have her here to distract me from getting stressed out by this roller-coaster ride I like to call college.
