First Football Assignment

Holy cow. Saturday's game against Oklahoma State University is the greatest time I've ever had at a football game. I was standing at Texas' end zone when the band played "The Eyes of Texas" and I couldn't help myself... this particular photojournalist, with a giant lens on a monopod and equipment strapped all over his body, raised his horns and bellowed the alma mater without reserve. Being on the field, watching and documenting the #1 Longhorns do their thing was such an incredible high.













I love football. I love it i love it i love it. I love my school. I love my friends. I love being a photographer. I love everything I'm doing and everything that surrounds me.

Hook 'em fuckin' Horns.

Study

This week has been deceptively easy-going. I only had one thing due... a one-page response on a chapter for my cognitions of animals class. I've been trying to motivate myself to knock out chunks of studying a day but it's not going so well.
It's pretty funny though, the chapter I wrote about this week for psychology was about learning and memory: long and short-term memory etc etc... psych 101 stuff, but it was pretty ironic that what I was studying was telling ME how to study...

Repetition and rehearsal... fascilitates information passing through working memory and eventually being stored in reference memory for long-term retrieval...
