Thanksgiving is here!

My entire life I looked forward to the day when I finally got to move off to college and be on my own. Do you know what I’m saying now? Only two more days… only two more days! Yep, that’s right! Only two more days until I finally get to go home for Thanksgiving! My current emotions=Anxious & Excited! I was looking through my planner earlier today and realized that it’s been almost two months since I last went home, or saw my family. Me being the mommy’s & daddy’s girl that I am, 2 months is entirely too long! I can’t wait to be home and get to spend lots of time with all of my friends and family.

Since this is my first post, I guess I should start by telling you a little bit about myself. As you might know, my name is Macy Eaves and I am currently a sophomore Agriculture Leadership & Development major from Stephenville, TX. Here at Texas A&M University, I am a member of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences Student Council (COALS Council), an Aggie Rep for the Department of Agriculture Leadership, Education, & Communication (ALEC), and also a member of the Saddle & Sirloin Club. I was previously involved in the Memorial Student Center Aggie Leaders of Tomorrow (MSC ALOT), served as a 2009 Muster Host, as well as a 2008-2009 Texas FFA State Vice-President. All of these experiences within my college career have helped me in a number of ways, all while allowing my Aggie experience thus far to be a great one.

Looking forward in my planner to the next couple of weeks also provide me with a multitude of emotions. I am definitely excited the semester is drawing to an end, a little nervous for finals, and also a little stressed. Taking 17 hours while working 20 hours per week was probably not the smartest decision I’ve made in my life!

 This being my first post, I’ll keep it short and simple. I look forward to upcoming posts and I would like to thank you for your time & interest in my college experience. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! BTHO TU!

Be Blessed,

Macy

What table do you sit at?

When I was younger, I used to always want to sit at the adult table on holidays. I would sit there, with the “little kids” and look up at the adults across the room; laughing and enjoying themselves while eating their Thanksgiving stuffing or drinking their Christmas eggnog. To me, the adult table was just out of reach…

With midterms approaching in my junior year of college, it seems that the years have flown by. I seems like just yesterday I was counting down the months before I got my license…graduated…moved away from home. Now look, I’m a junior in college? When did that happen?

I was enjoying the weather yesterday at Wolf Pen Creek while reading Vonnegut and listening to my mp3 player when it suddenly hit me… Read more…

Matinee

During the hours of noon to five, nothing very interesting happens. Students are, for the better part of the afternoon, in school; grown-ups are punching a time-clock, and senior citizens are re-adjusting dentures after dinner. It’s a less than colorful time.

Unless, of course, you’re in a movie theatre.

So my favorite show on television right now is 30 Rock, which soared in popularity once America saw Tina Fey BTHO Sarah Palin every Saturday night leading up to the election.  Not to brag or anything, but I’m Liz Lemon and this is why:  Read more…

Aggie Blogs Version 2.0

Howdy folks! Welcome to our second version of Aggie Blogs. Besides a new theme to the blog, we’ve added some new folks to our blogger list. You can find out a little bit more about them by checking out their bios on the “Student Blogger” page.

New to this version is something else we are trying out. It’s the “Other Bloggers” category where we’re beginning to pull some folks from around campus to talk about their experiences and thoughts about the university. We’ll introduce them as they join our team/family and hope they will be valuable resources.
