Thanksgiving Break is Next Week

Thanksgiving Break is fast approaching The University of Texas at Tyler campus, and it is almost rude to say because none of us are ready. You see, breaks in college are not truly breaks. This is what makes attending a university so trying; it has a lot to do with endurance.

I have 35+ pages due after Thanksgiving break is over. I am just currently thankful that I get that time out of class to complete a few of these papers and eat some sweet potatoes in footie pajamas in the privacy of my own Grandparent's home.

This may or may not be a gratuitous picture of my boss Amelia and I at work on
Patriot Preview Day, with Swoop between us. Did I ever mention that I love my job? 

Patriot Madness

One of the many events lined up this week for Homecoming was Patriot Madness. It was a basketball exhibition held at the HPC. It was pretty entertaining! A lot of Patriots and family of Patriots came out to watch. 
The side they opened as bleachers were packed, and everyone was so pumped up the whole time!

Between competitions and exhibits, they had contests and prizes for the audiences (who can out-dance swoop, who can shout the loudest etc.) and everyone really enjoyed themselves. I know I did!
