These past few weeks have been so crazy with homework and other activities that I have not had the time to blog.  Personally one of the most exciting things that has happened since my last post has been the visit of Sportsnation to the University of Iowa.  If you’re not familiar with the show it’s a sports show on ESPN hosted by Colin Cowherd and Michelle Beadle.  The morning started of with Colin’s radio show The Herd.  While standing in the hot sun I decided that before Sportsnation I was going to change into something cooler.  When I got back students could sign up for free football tickets and received a free throwback t-shirt for the upcoming Ball State game. I talked to a lot of people around me and I met up with my friend after she got out of class.  We were right by the stage so we were all excited for the show to start.  By this point the clouds began to get darker and a cold draft was coming into Hubbard Park.  The producer of the show said it was going to be postponed due to lightning and that we were all welcome to hang out in the IMU and wait for it to pass.  I looked around at the people I had gotten to know and asked my friend if she was willing to stay and wait out the storm where we were.  We didn’t think it would be that bad.  As soon as I had finished my sentence the rain came.  POURING!!!  Luckily my friend had an umbrella, so five of us huddled under her umbrella and waited it out.  Everyone was in good spirits and we even said a few cheers.  Twenty minutes later the rain was over and the hosts came back out to start the show.  About a half hour later my friend had to leave for her class, and the rain returned.  The show was really fun and I enjoyed feeling the adrenaline of Iowa Hawkeye fans.
