i made an important decision saturday. i decided that i'm not going to be a fair weather fan of the longhorns. yes, the UT football team isn't where it should be right now. yes, saturday was an absolute mess and i wanted to leave right after halftime but instead had to endure another two quarters of torture at the hands of bloodthirsty sooner fans. but i love football, and i love UT football, even if it sucks. i am so very glad i came here. i can't imagine myself anywhere else. there are so many positives to where i'm at and what i'm doing that i wake up every morning thanking god that i'm alive and i'm in austin at the university of texas. :-) so that's my sentimental college bit for the day. yes, UT is huge, but it's an amazing place to be...
