All-American Excitement

So today I was dragged out of bed at about 8:30 to travel up to College Station for an open house type deal to hear about the program I would like to transfer into. It is called VizLab and is Texas A&M 's version of an art program held in the College of Architecture. It began in 2008 and is a very competitive program to get into. So we drove the hour and a half dri e to College Station this morning about 30 minutes later than we had planned. I wasn't in the best of moods seeing as I have not been getting a sufficient amount of sleep and not sleeping well. 

The first half of the day was not appealing to me at all. It was all business. I was not happy or entertained. We decided to also attend the Aggie Softball game later in the day. We went and parked at about 1:00 and had a couple hours before the game started. It was the perfect opportunity for one exhausted, moody teenager to take a nap and of course I did not let that chance slip by. I woke up just in time for game time and we headed into the stands. I chomped on a giant dill pickle and munched on some popcorn while enjoying the game along with the yells and hollering from the boyfriends of the team. I suggest y'all go to an A&M Softball game when you get the chance! It was a double header today, we had the opportunity to stay and watch a second game. However, it was already rather chilly and pretty windy so we decided we would go to Aggieland Outfitters and then Layne's Chicken Fingers before heading home. 

WELL!!! 

During the game I had come across Amanda Scarborough's Instagram while flipping through some tags and do I followed her. She's one of my favorite players ever. She played at A&M when I was younger and ended up becoming an All-American pitcher. I SAW HER AT THE GAME AND JUST ABOUT DIED YOU GUYS. We were walking towards the gate when a small group of people caught my eye. They were talking to AMANDA!!! I freaked out. I was totally like a little kid in a candy shop. I was SO excited! I waited patiently, literally trying to keep it cool on the outside. She acknowledged I was there and I introduced myself! We had a short little conversation, you know, where are you from, did you play, those kinds of questions. AND I GOT A PICTURE WITH HER AND SHE TOTALLY JUST COMMENTED ON IT!! After she took the picture she asked if I was on Facebook and to tag her, I can't figure out how to tag her on Facebook without being her friend but I did tag her on Instagram! Ahhhhhhh!!! I'm still so excited about the whole thing and the fact that she just commented on it makes it even MORE AWESOME! So it's safe to say the second half of the day was totally amazing.


Amanda and I! 



AAAAHHH SHE COMMENTED ON MY INSTAGRAM PHOTO! 

I'm a teenager.
I'm a college student.
I'm still freaking excited about this whole thing.
I'm literally still squealing about it.

I'm just your average girl.
