GO BUCKS!

So managed to unpack most of my things this morning the rest can wait til tomorrow! Then Sam and Hayley took me with them to Chipotle which is a Mexican fast food kind of place where I had a chicken burrito filled with rice, cheese, sour cream, guacamole. It was all really tasty but I wish it was smaller as I couldn't finish it and I hate leaving food but hey I'm in American what do I expect!! We took it back to the house and ate it whilst watching some of the College Football that was on TV. Put on my Ohio State T shirt the girls got me and we headed to one of the fraternity houses near the campus, it was the dental fraternity as thats what the girls study. There was free beer, burgers, hot dogs on the go and when the Ohio State vs Miami game started everyone was in the TV room. My first american football game and against my 2nd choice uni too, but the Buckeyes won 36-24 so that must be a good omen that I picked the right place :) But oh my was the game long...Kick-off was 3.40pm and 4th quarter didn't end til after 7pm. It's cos (a rule I remembered!) when the ball touches the ground, unlike rugby the game stops so the clock is stopped until play starts again...and this happens A LOT! But on the way to the house it was so mad, people in red everywhere heading somewhere to watch the game. And walking along the streets in the 'University District' students were hanging out in their porches with music blaring and red cups in hand. But I found out that Ohio State are ranked 2nd in the league so no wonder everyone goes all out if the team is as good as that! After the game me and Sam went to Damons a restaurant bar where Mandi was working so got bite to eat then headed home.
