Whelp, its been a month here at Texas State and while there are some things I absolutely love, there are some things that I don't like as much too. I love the school spirit and how friendly everyone is. I also like the fact that we can have academic coaches. While I like these things, the things I dislike are more on the lines of what happens when you miss class, how far I am from friends and family, and the food.
I attended my first football game last weekend. A couple friends and I painted paw prints on our legs. We went to the tailgate for the freshman, mostly for the food, then we went into the stadium and sat in the fan store for awhile before going into the actual stadium and finding seats. We sat behind the loud crowd. All in all it was a great experience.
Last Tuesday I missed class for the first time because I had a stomach bug. On top of being sick, realizing I was missing class was one of the most stressful things ever because of the attendance policy for some of my classes. I found it harder to catch up as well.
The food here isn't all that bad, but it definitely isn't a home cooked meal. I guess its more of a acquired taste, but I'm getting tired of the same thing day in and day out.
Being away from my family and friends has been especially hard for me. I was extremely close to my family and last week, my best friend who attends Tarleton lost her sister in a car accident and it was difficult for me to listen to her cry on the phone and not be able to comfort her. Also, my boyfriend doesn't go here so as you would expect there has been tension in our relationship, but none the less when he surprised me by coming to visit me, I was beyond happy.
