Understatement of the century.
Tonight, at 6 PM marks the 300th consecutive sellout at Nebraska football games. This streak goes all the way back to 1962, meaning there hasn't been an unsold ticket in 47 years.
It's also homecoming week. Crazy!
And it is crazy.
Like last night, we spent a good thirty minutes watching a lot of people in convertibles and a lot of people dressed up like Mario Kart characters. (It was the homecoming parade, and each dorm got to make a float. Three of the four of them did Mario Kart. Our theme was "Game On," by the way.) Sadly, it rained on our parade (Ha Ha). Not like torrential downpour rain, but it was legit rain. Not just a light drizzle or some sprinkles. But we stuck it out. We are dedicated. We also had umbrellas.
There was also a blood drive. I have never given blood before and I am unnaturally afraid of needles, but I wanted to be a good person and not be a pansy. So I did. I came out with a collapsed vein, massive bruises on each of my arms (the first one didn't work-collapsed vein-so they had to do the other arm) and I passed out afterwards and was really light headed and sick for about a day. But I got a free t-shirt, and dammit I feel like a good person.
It was a good experience.
Tip of the Day: If you ride your bike one-handed, don't try to break really hard and try to swerve at the same time (while still riding one-handed). I pretty much flipped off my bike. I do have some awesome bruises and battle scars, though. But still, not a lot of fun.
