8:30 AM - got out of bed after much snoozing of the alarm and prepared for the day. I thought I still had time to study before the day's festivities, but I didn't find the time to do so!
12 PM - left the apartment to go to a tailgate
From Wikipedia:
Tailgate - a tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating often involves consuming alcoholic beverages and grilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots at stadiums and arenas, before and occasionally after games and concerts. People attending such a party are said to be tailgating. Many people participate even if their vehicles do not have tailgates.
At this particular day, there were tailgates all over school because there was a football home game!

12:30 PM - registered for the MBA tailgate, where alumni and students could mingle in a cordoned-off area, with a buffet of food and drink. You usually pay for a tailgate; it's not exactly free.
1:30 PM - left the tailgate for my volunteer shift at a club concession stand. Spent a busy hour wrapping buns for cheeseburgers, hotdogs and brats in foil. I'm glad I wasn't the cashier -- as it was my first time to hear of the brat! (ie. bratwurst sandwich)

3:10 PM - walked to the stadium for the game, with crowds and crowds of people.
3:30 PM - start of the game! Americans really go crazy over football.
7-8PM - the game finished somewhere in between. Would you believe that we students stood up around 95% of the game?! (roughly 4 hours!) Nevertheless, enjoyed the experience.
8:30 PM - back in the apartment. Was so, so tired after that standing-only game. But happy that our team won, of course.
