Friday night the university got news of two of our (basketball) coaches dying in a plane crash. All games were canceled but our football game away. That night, our football team got their first loss of the season.

“November 18, 2011, is a day Oklahoma State will never forget. It was a day where OSU fans, players and coaches awoke to the news of tragedy and went to bed with the bitter taste of defeat.” —See article here.

All my classes, with the exception of my night class, were canceled so students could attend the memorial services of the two coaches. I feel less of a loss for the OSU family and more an ache for their individual families. One coach left behind a wife and two kids. My thoughts go out to them and to the pilots’ (a married couple, who didn’t survive) families as well.

A solemn day at OSU.

Pssst, can you see me in the reflection?
Happy Friday everyone!

I’ve had lots on my mind lately and been feeling out of sorts. So today I slept in and took my sweet time getting up & about. Hello hour & a half shower: singing, shaving the legs, deep conditioning hair mask, etc. This afternoon I plan to meet up with my good friend T, who I haven’t seen all summer! But I will get to see her often now that we have a class together this fall (aka next week)!

Here’s what I’ve worn from the other day. Real casual, just a band tee and shorts and my Vans. You’ve seen these shorts a million times like here and here. This shirt is actually from an All American Rejects show that I went to with my sister years and years ago. The band actually is from this town! Neat neat neat. And, by the way, Oklahoma also gave you Brad Pitt. Your welcome.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

With the exception of putting in some work at the winery this afternoon, I’m spending the day reading. And constantly snacking. Like a hermit.

I can’t believe classes start up on Monday. How is the summer already over for me? Yesterday, I went to the student store to pick up my textbooks & planner and I was waiting in line to check out, thinking, “this is it…this is my last year of college.” It got me thinking about all the things I want to do before I graduate. Like take my parents to tailgate & then a football game. Or actually wake up early enough to eat the free pancakes they serve during finals week. And stock up on (even more) OSU sweatshirts. Haha.

Basically…I just want to soak it all up!

Saturday morning, despite the drabby weather, my mom came to town for her first Oklahoma State homecoming! She, Chris, and I all bundled up and went onto campus for the Walkaround!

Afterwards, we went to a bar/grill to grab lunch and watch the OSU/Nebraska game.

Ossie didn’t do too much walking once the wind picked up and the rain started!
