Weekend Update!

Saturday - was GREAT!! Went to Astroworld with my sister since one of my mom's friends had free tickets! We had fun but too bad I didn't get to go on ALL the rides! Apparently, when we were high up in the air, my sister realized she was scared of heights! Go figure!! It was kinda sad going there and knowing that it would be closing in the next couple of weeks.

I have to make a nerdy confession though. I sat there on most of the rides thinking of how I could relate it to physics and my class. LOL. NERD!! (yes yes I know!!) It's all good though. Maybe it'll make sense to the kids one day. I did see one of my students while I was in line for Ultra Twister but I didnt want to make this big deal to say hi. I'll tell him on Monday. I'm sure he'll enjoy that one!

So Saturday was also the Red River Shootout. I would like to announce that after FIVE LONG YEARS, UT is VICTORIOUS!!!

The final score was 45-12. I was pure elation!! I kinda wish I had gone to Dallas with Ricky now! I'm sure it was TONS of fun. He always has fun at games and why not!! Thats the whole point!! YEAH!! =) When they say "In Vince we trust," they're not kidding!!

HOOK'EM!!

Sunday- OMG, let's just say that it goes from a high point to a low point. I woke up early and was planning to go get curtains and run some other errands with the family. Unfortunately though I was in an accident. I was driving down Westhiemer, BARELY passing by Academy when a group of kids were running across the street. Unfortunately I didnt see them at first but when I did, I broke and the kid hit my car. . .HARD!! He hit my passager side, knocking off my mirror, denting my front fender and cracking my paint/fender. It totally freaked me out because one of the other kids had screamed so I had though the kid who hit me was seriously injured. Of course, he wasn't. I called the cops and the kids left. Thank goodness I had two other witnesses, gentlemen who were quite helpful. What really pissed me off was the two little girls that were with the boys came back to the same location we were at with the intent to jaywalk AGAIN after what happened!! Luckily for me, no one was injured. It just pisses me off that the kid was so stupid to run out in the middle of traffic like that!! It was five of them!!

So in the end, my car is messed up, I have to pay for it (unless I want my insurance to go up) and the kid walks away with nothing but an interesting story (and hopefully a good ass beating from his mom.) It's moment like these where I sit there and think where were the parents in this situation and kids like that aren't going to last long in the world.

It makes me also start to think that I'm suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. I may be seeking a doctor for some type of drugs soon or taking a couple of MH (mental health) days. I'm not a fan of freaking out and going crazy. Been there, done that. . not really feeling it again!!

MORE SPORTS NEWS!! ASTROS beat the Braves in 18 innings going into history books for the longest post season game (almost 6 hrs!) Chris Burke hit an amazing home run in the bottom of the 18th and it was over!! It was insane!! The final score, 7-6. Wednesday they face the Cardinals to compete for the NL Championship!!

GO 'STROS! ALL THE WAY TO THE PENNANT!!!!

With that note, I'm gonna sign off. I'm going a little batty not having my powrbook but at the same time, I realize I'm never actually at my computer IMing that much so its no biggie. I just miss the freedom to check my shit whenever I want.
