Oops!

As much as I love LSU, I am not the biggest fan of its newspaper, The Reveille. I have been very disappointed in the past with some of the articles, so I mostly pick it up for the daily sudoku. My friend pointed out to me the other day the latest blunder of LSU's beloved newspaper, which turned out to be quite entertaining. The front page focused on LSU finding a new basketball coach. While this is good news, the staff did not read carefully over the headline before printing, so without further delay, I present the front page from the daily Reveille:
Congratulations LSU on grabbing Stanford's Johnson!

Whoville and Sushi

Things are looking a little brighter these days.

I actually had a bit of a social life this weekend. On Friday, I went to a friends birthday celebration that took place at my favorite bar: Brightside Bar & Grill, and I had a pretty good time. Unfortunately, the combination of an exhausting week and a couple of drinks put me to sleep during the after party. Oh well. Saturday was a great day. I went and saw Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who, which was insanely funny. If anyone has any idea what that little yellow thing was that kept taking deep breaths, please let me know! The movie was followed by dinner at Kona Grill, a new restaurant that opened up in Baton Rouge. It had one of the strangest menu combinations I have ever seen. There was sliders, sushi, meatloaf, and pizza. I opted for sushi rolls, and I highly recommend the soft shell crab roll. The restaurant was located in a large shopping center, so there was some store exploration after dinner. The rest of my evening was spent chillaxing at my place with the friend that I had spent all day with. I think this was actually the best part of the evening because there was lots of funny conversation and just hanging out. It's hard for me to find people that I can be really comfortable around and, at least in my mind, relate to, so I was having a great time.

I still do not have a definite answer on vet school right now, but I found out some more information. I am one of 130 alternates for the 18 out of state spaces, and only 3 of the 18 spaces have been filled so far. In the past, the school has gone down to the 50-105th person, however, they will not disclose my rank. The accepted students have one more week to confirm or reject their seat before LSU starts handing out spaces to kids like me. I'm optimistic, but at the same time, I am preparing for another year of undergrad.

More to come soon.

Peace
