Howdy y'all



My stereotypical Southern title to this post is due to my visit to Texas during the last weekend in February. I went to Austin for a weekend to experience some Southern culture. Austin is renowned for its live music (hosting SXSW music festival), chilled out nature and just generally cool people. During the weekend I didn't meet one unhappy person! The general consensus among the people of Austin is to keep Austin weird and indeed it is like no other place I have been to so far. They have a pink State Capitol, live music every night of the week and drafthouse cinemas where you can be served food whilst watching a movie. Although it is a bit different to your typical Texan place, I still witnessed many men walking around in cowboy hats, shirts, jeans and boots!



Aside from Austin, February has left me wondering where the past few weeks have gone as they seem to have drifted by very quickly. At UF work has been the main agenda this month where many people have experienced mid terms. I still don't quite understand why they are called mid-terms when people generally have three lots of mid-terms so really they should be called third-terms! The other week, Gainesville hosted the arrival of a well known DJ called Steve Aoki. This was a massive event for small town Gainesville and a very enjoyable night for everyone.
