It's football time in Tennessee!

The Tennessee football team is currently ranked number ten. I have a funny feeling I will be into football this season. My interest comes in spurts. There is something really exciting about Tennessee football...I remember going to a game when I was in high school, and while we were walking to the stadium, everyone started to clap and chant, "It's great...(clap, clap)...to be...(clap, clap)...a Tennessee Vol; I said it's great...(clap, clap)...to be...(clap, clap)...a Tennessee Vol." And not many things move me and stir my emotions like "Rocky Top." At times, it can take me to the point of tears. And I can't think of anyone I'd rather be cheering with than my friend E. When we were in junior high, we went to a rainy game together. We sat in the bleachers cheering with our orange and white pom-poms. There was a bald man sitting front of us and occasionally a droplet of water from our pom-poms would fall onto his head. The water must have been magical because it looked like his hair was growing back. We decided the pom-poms were giving off Miracle-gro for hair. We went to town with frantic cheers...that man would have a new set of hair by the time we were done! Ahhh...memories of youth.

I am going to attempt to complete all my homework for the next week so I won't have any to do over the weekend--it's Laber Day! This means I need to go to the store to buy a new ink cartridge for the printer.
