I've been in a ridiculously good mood all week so the Jeroo programming we've been doing has bordered on fun. They're like puzzles: super frustrating until you solve them, at which point they turn out really cool and rewarding. I even feel like I'm making progress. I only have one lab left and then I'm done until the final. Which, by the way, I'm a little concerned about. I think I might get really frustrated and not think straight. I usually get a lot of help from the people around me on the labs so I'm worried that I might not be able to do a really complicated one like the final on my own. I guess we'll see.
Last week I forgot to do a blog post so here's what I did over Thanksgiving Break. My family and I drove to Dallas to see my dad's family. His is the big side of the family so there were 22 people in one house on Thanksgiving. I ran the Dallas Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning and it was first time I had ever run eight miles. I felt like a cripple old woman afterwards; my knees hurt and my ankles hurt and my toenail hurt. Essentially everything hurt until Friday night. It was fun while I was doing it but, in hindsight, I probably should have walked some of it.
The highlight of my Break was watching the final UT vs. A&M game on my uncle's enormous TV. My uncle is an Aggie and we always watch the Thanksgiving game together and try and out-cheer each other. It was absolutely wonderful to beat them in College Station and send them off with a great, exciting game and a last-second field goal. My sister and I has some serious breathing problems in the last minute and half of the game, after we got the ball back and has to drive down the field to win. I didn't have much faith at the point, to be honest, which made our comeback even better. Once the Aggies scored that last touchdown, I was pretty sure we were going to lose but my Longhorns came through for me! Needless to say, life is fantastic.
