Sixteen Days

Yes, 16 days until I am gone from Paradise, Texas. It is a bit scary and I am wondering if I am ready. I've been getting all this stuff in the mail from A&M just letting me know what to bring, when to be there, what to expect, etc. I have been running 2.5 miles everyday to get ready for the Corps of Cadets. I am just scared that I won't be ready, or that it will be too demanding and my grades will drop. Everything is really strict and there are so many rules. It is all military regulated so its going to be tough but I think it'll be fun. They tell you how many pairs of underwear to bring, how many pairs of socks, jeans, number of towels, and everything else. And to make things worse you have to wear briefs, no boxers or boxer briefs. That is going to suck. As long as I make it through my freshman year I'll be okay. Our football schedule is as follows:

Sep. 3 @ Clemson

Sep. 17 home vs. SMU Mustangs.

Sep. 24 home vs. Texas State

Oct. 1 home vs. Baylor

Oct. 8 @ Colorado

Oct. 18 home vs. OSU

Oct 22 @ Kansas State

Oct. 29 home vs. Iowa State

Nov. 5 @ Texas Tech

Nov. 12 @ Oklahoma

Nov 25 home vs. THE NASTY LONGHORNS FROM THAT SCHOOL IN AUSTIN

AND we are supposed to be decent this year. The band is always kick ass, and that is all I am worried about really. It helps however to have a kick ass football team as well. On October 20 the Marine Corps Band is preforming at A&M, on November 8th A&M is marching at the UIL State Marching contest at the AlamoDome, and on December 4th we are marching in the B/CS Christmas Parade. It all seems exciting, and I am excited just worried about whats to come. Everything here at home has been the same. Well I got in a wreck last week. I was driving behind this SUV and they braked, so I braked too cause thats what you do, and it was raining really hard and I hydroplaned into the back of them. I went under their SUV and it messed up my entire front end, so so much for getting a new car for school. The SUV was unharmed. Also, my friend Cara who is in the hospital is doing tons better. They have killed most of the cancer cells that she had and she may not need a bone marrow transplant. My family also came home Sunday night so once again it is very noisy here at home. Everything is good though, still working, and tonight I have a picnic to go to for all current students and alumni of A&M, here in Bridgeport for peopel in Wise, Montague, and Jack Counties. It should be fun. Well thats it for now, Gig 'em -Danny.
