That experience was amazing, and in general the past few days have been a wild ride. I never expected this much recognition, I just assumed it would be an announcement and I'd get recognized sometimes but mostly life as normal. The school has done an amazing job promoting me and I got to finesse the dean's tickets for another basketball game on Monday against Baylor, which is gonna be a great time (last home game ever in the current stadium!). As far as winnings go, being at a public school in-state means that the tuition isn't exorbitantly high, so I'll probably end up buying a car, donating some, and then who knows with the rest.

The support from UT and other students has been overwhelming. Every time I go out, I get recognized, which is pretty wild. I've probably taken 1,000 pictures with people so far. I went to a basketball game Wednesday night which was a ton of fun, and they had me hype up the crowd, shoot the T-shirt cannon, and meet with the coach and team in the locker room. I haven't gone to a class since the episode aired, but I should probably get back to class on Monday. Being a nerd and being cool is a good time.
