C'est Novembre!

Thought I would throw in some French! It’s November and that is super exciting! That means only one more month until I come home (40 days to be exact)! Halloween was great. We carved pumpkins the other night. Mine is Tigger because it is sort of hard to see! It was quite a mess since we didn’t have the right “tools” to carve pumpkins.
We won our football game on Saturday against University of Hawai’i! Utah State is now 2-7 for the season. It was my last football game this year, which was sort of sad! Basketball season started this week so our hopes for winning games have increased astronomically. Our basketball team is pretty decent so that is fun! The first few games were crazy. The Spectrum, which is where the games are, is rated as one of the 10 worst places to play for the opposing team. At first, I just thought it was because of the noise levels. That is part of it but it is also because of the student sections. The students are pretty rude at times to the opposing teams. Sometimes, it is humorous like the other night when a person from Northwest Nazarene fouled out of the game, the students would chant his steps. So as he walked to the benches, the students chanted “Right, Left, Right, Left, Right…” And then when the player finally sat down, the entire student section erupted in cheers. It was quite hilarious. But other times, I am sort of disgusted at the things they say. I guess in the past, the students have been warned and even penalized for their cheering and all.
Classes are still going well. I have A’s in everything so far so that is great! On a side note, my knee is doing better finally. It has been too long since I have enjoyed a good, long run so this past week I tested it out. My knee is better if I remember not to run on it every day.

Hope all is well with family and friends! I love and miss you all!
