Ride'em Cowboy!!!

Country theme is Australia? Yep that is what happened...The Health Science & Medicine Association sponsored a country themed party called "Hoe Down". To me it was an excuse to dress up like a cowgirl and have a little fun with my fellow HSM students...Yes Sports Management falls under this...Don't understand why, it just does!!

Well back to the "Hoe Down", there was $2 beer or mixed drinks, mechanical bull, hay bales and country music...then they bussed us an after party in Broadbeach at EAST nightclub. My friends convinced me to take a ride on the mechanical bull...then I ran into some issue, first I was too short to get on myself so I need to assistance of the guy in charge of running the mechanical bull, second of all I lasted all of 8 seconds but it was super fun and I am glad I got a chance to do it. I will say I felt as if I was back in San Antonio when I put on my outfit but it was all part of the theme...I was able to score a sweet flannel shirt, a sheriff badge, handuffs and two play guns...I was a hit at the party...well me and friends were!! I had a blast with my friends, Sarah, Emily, Jana and Andrew....It was a nice break from school but its getting towards the end and I can't wait to be done!!

Up next I am taking a weekend trip with my friend Christine to Melbourne to watch the Wallabies (Australia's national rugby union team) vs The All Blacks (New Zealand's national rugby union team) this is going to be the biggest sporting event I have ever attended..If you don't anything about The All Blacks please check out this link...http://www.allblacks.com/...they are know world wide and I am super pumped I get a chance to see them in person!! Don't worry I will take heaps of pictures and give you a full review once I get back.

On another note I want to say Happy 1st Birthday my nephew Benjamin Alan Griffin....He is my sister Erin's youngest boy. I hope you have a wonderful birthday at the park with all the entire family and I can't wait to see you when I get home in October. I love you!!

I will be officially done with classes on Friday, August 6th with a Sports Marketing final on Monday, August 9th, a International Sports Business paper and a Strategic Sports Management plan due on Friday, August 20th before I am officially done!! Then I am on an 8 week break to travel, enjoy what Australia and New Zealand has to offer before the big day arrives on Saturday, October 9th when I will attend graduation. I will say I never could have dreamed of this when I embarked on this journey last September but I will say I will remember it forever!!

Until next time...Enjoy and look out for more to come!!

Cheers!!
