As some of you may know, I am a Professional Media major, and this semester I enrolled in a class titled 'Blogging for Journalist'. This class is the reason I started thus amazing blog but one of the assignments was blog adoption. The professor made us find an interesting blogger and give a presentation about that blogger. So this particular blog is going to be about, Tanya Golash-Boza, whom I adopted.
Golash-Boza, is a Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Merced. Her blog is "getalifephd.blogspot.com". The purpose of this blog is to help faculty and students be a more productive writer. Golash-Boza has been blogging for five years in California. The blog has 3,000 followers and makes about $25 a month.
The style and information is what makes this blog unique. This professor has published many books while also raising three kids. I inspire to have a blog that gets 2.5 million page views like hers and everyone needs to go follow her.
*Sidenote*- Oh yea, there is no sidenote (Laugh out loud).

Moving in or Moving out?
It is that time for students to move in or out. Next week is finals week then after that is Winter break. Students are finally moving out of the dorms to go home to family. Although some students are just now moving in for the spring semester.
Buddy is such a gentlemen, helping students move in and out. And the temperature outside was cold but perfect for a sweating horse. Students were not happy about moving because of the weather, so Buddy saves the day again.
And even though Buddy was smiling, this rug was definitely heavier than it looks.
*Sidenote*- Shout out to the photographer for getting my 'good' side, (laugh out loud).

Pose for the Frame!
The last football game of the season, was so much fun and stressful at times during the game. But the UCO football team ended the season with a win.
So on behalf of the football team and the spirit team, thank you for all of the support that you gave to our team this year.
Uh oh, I bet you did not know, Buddy was going to photo bomb your picture. But let us take a minute to admit that it made the picture a little better.

I am pretty sure that I scared the mess out of the woman on the left. But that is ok, what is life without fear? Rhetorical question by the way.
But Buddy also had to take a selfie, I will admit that I might be a little or a lot conceded because I completely enjoy taking pictures.
*Sidenote*- If you have any pictures with Buddy, send them to me and I will post them. (dglover7@uco.edu) but if you don't then you will slip on a banana today (laugh out loud).

Homecoming! Cheer and Dance!
So I received some more pretty awesome photographs, that basically proves that cheer and dance was the bomb!
Hey look at the flick of the wrist, this picture is amazing and the photographer was right on time.
I was dancing and dying at the same time now that is multi-talented. I was sweating to death and one step from a heat stroke but that did not stop me from dancing. The excited lady next to me is Kendall, who is also one of our amazing cheerleaders on the squad.
This is hilarious, and it just keeps getting better and better, who said horses cannot dance?
*Sidenote*- So lets take a minute to look at the guy behind me on the left, yes, the guy with the red backpack. Hmmmm, is that the phase right before twerking? (laugh out loud).

Homecoming Parade!
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=981118225368381&id=473958556084353
That is the link to watch the full homecoming parade. The parade was amazing, I was shocked at how many people attended the parade. The weather was perfect to be mascot because it was not hot at all and the wind was hitting my face (Buddy's mouth) at the right times.
Buddy was sitting in the back of a black truck with a few cheerleaders, yes I am a lazy person so I did not walk the entire parade but I did throw candy at people. I appear in the video at about 15 minutes. The homecoming parade was short and sweet but I did think that I was going to fly off the back of the truck.
I also ate more candy then what I shared, obviously I am not very good at parades. We had a bag of laffy taffy's, I ate majority of the red ones and through all the nasty yellow ones. That makes me a considerate person right? Well who cares, God will judge me when that day comes. Plus children do not care what color the candy is, as long as they catch some.
Do you want to know how I ate the candy? Well I lifted the head a little and fed myself but it may have looked like Buddy was putting candy in his neck.
you can see my mohawk(hair) a little
*Sidenote*- I could not see where I was throwing candy and I hit a kid in the face with a laffy taffy (laugh out loud) he did not think it was funny!

Homecoming! Cheer and Dance!
Good morning people, well good afternoon but it is morning somewhere! I am not going to lie to you all, last week was the longest week of my life. Homecoming was fun and exciting but it was also exhausting and terrible. Lets just call it bitter sweet for now.
Did you know the cheerleaders, have to practice at 6 a.m? Yea, me neither until I had to wake up and go to practice with them last week so that we could practice our cheer and dance performance. My body was aching and the pain was excruciating, I am not a doctor but I am pretty sure that I was sleep deprived.
In the beginning of the performance, I get lifted by two women. One cheerleader holds my left foot and another holds my right. But the pain came from the guy who held my legs behind me. I swear he despised me because he kept jabbing his thumbs in the back of my calfs. I now have a permanent bruise in my legs.
During practice it was fun being lifted in the air, but this is because I practiced without the Buddy suit. At cheer and dance, I was lifted with the full suit on and it scared the crap out of me, I could barely see anything and it felt like I was floating above the world.
excuse the blurry photo!

Homecoming Week!
Do you think you know which Buddy is me?
By the way, do you know what this weekend is? It is Homecoming, and I advise everyone to be there to cheer on our football team with us. This week there will be plenty of fun events, and you better believe I am going to blog about them.
I will be performing as Buddy at the cheer and dance event, I will also be at the Homecoming Parade, and the pep rally. It will be a great and exciting week for everyone involved.
*Sidenote*- I am the Buddy on the right with the big smile (laugh out loud).
