Diary Entry #1

     This week on Monday was the BCS National Championship game. I was so excited to get down to New Orleans so that I could meet up with all of my friends and just be part of all the craziness that was existing among the fans. The whole drive there I was getting more and more anxious because I was so happy that I was able to attend the third National Championship game during my life.

     When my family and I finally arrived in New Orleans we walked to the French Quarter and met up with our friends at Galatoire's on Bourbon Street. Several of my friends and class mates were in the French Quarter as well so we all walked around and just hung out. I even saw one of my former teachers on a balcony overlooking Bourbon Street so that was interesting too. I walked back to the restaurant because my feet were so sore from walking and ate dinner with my brother, Elise, Madeline, and Ben. Not only were we all having fun together but Ben exclaimed, "This is the best meal of my life!"Once we got into the stadium my brother and I found our seats and began cheering for LSU as the band marched out onto the field. The game was a let down because of the poor performance made by the Tigers but it was still a good day.
     After leaving the game early because of the disappointing score,  I was relieved to finally be home because it was such a long day. Although the weather was not the best and LSU lost badly to Alabama it was still a great day. My dad could not stop saying, "This is the best day of my life!"
