Famous Last Words: Beat Those Corn Dogs

It was another busy week, topped off by a 4 am calltime for Saturday’s Fort Worth showdown against Texas Christian’s Horned Frogs (I still don’t get their mascot, but I was digging the purple and the hacienda/arches vibe the other side of their stadium had going). My presentation in Spanish went really well- I think the class is now sufficiently educated on the wonders and history of the general Mariachi genre. The real gauntlet however, has yet to be run- the first PChem midterm is tomorrow at 12:30 and I’m admittedly terrified. I’ve been doing assignments for this class in between test review all day long, and I’m ready to get this stress off of my shoulders. (Gotta gear up for the next text on Friday!) This week will be an interesting one- test Monday, birthday Tuesday, test Friday, and, to top it off, an accapella concert Friday evening (I’m a member of OU’s student-led accapella group, The Crimson Chords- it’s a blast, and if you want to come see us we’ll be at Second Wind Coffeehouse on campus corner this Friday at 7). The only thing getting me through the marathon of studying I’ve been doing today has been my Spotify Study Scores playlist I recently put together with snippets of my favorite movie music. It’s pretty eclectic, and though it features a lot of superhero soundtrack bits, marvel is far from the only genre included. My goals for this week are to pass both of my tests, and my goals for this class are to do more of the assignments earlier, especially the extra credit ones- I’m getting close to that 411 point A cutoff, and could really use the extra study time for my chem classes. I’ll be sad to see Indian Epics go, though- I love reading through the creative content of classmates and watching the fun and informational videos on the Announcements. It’s been fun and most definitely helped me to grow as a writer. I won’t be going with the pep band to Texas Tech this weekend, but I know it’ll be so nice to have a bit of a break. I'm super excited to watch our defense continue to improve from afar though! (The stands went nuts when we got a true, actual, for real STOP in the first few minutes of gameplay). A highlight of the week has definitely been learning the Thriller dance in Pride…coming soon to a halftime show near you!: )
