I love that song. It has no relevence whatsoever to this post, but I love that song. Good old Allman brothers. Who doesn't love them? If you don't you probably don't have a soul. Just saying.
Ok sooo an update is in store. I really don't feel like writing a lot because that's all I've been doing yesterday and today. Writing this stupid music paper. Then this weekend I have to write my WWII paper. So way too much writing going down this weekend.
Ok, so Wednesday was St. Paddy's Day. Yes, it's called Paddy's over here, not Patty's. All the flyers and official gear and what not over here say Paddy's. Common misconception. For St. Paddy's Day I just went over to the Slippery Rock girls house at noon and we started drinking. Eventually we took our act to the Stables and hung around there for a bit. Barely anyone was drinking, so we felt pretty awkward ordering pitchers of beer. But whatever, we're American, we have the right to do what we want on St. Paddy's. After way too much beer in the afternoon, we went back to their place, ordered Pizza Hut (which is NOT anywhere close to the Pizza Hut in the States. It's exactly like the old shitty Dominos) and chilled. Then eventually we went back to the Stables again and then I decided my night was done at about 10. It was a fun St. Paddy's day, even if we didn't go see a parade or go to Dublin. I had fun so that's all that matters.
Yesterday (Thursday) I went to class in the morning and presented my Hitler paper. Our group rocked, but that was to be expected. At the end of class I told my professor, Mr. OConell that I wasn't going to be in class next week, and he told me it was cool. Then his car was parked across campus near the residence halls, so we ended up walking and talking about the Cold War for like 15 minutes. It was pretty cool. He's a cool dude. Probably the nicest teacher I have.
Then Thursday evening I skipped class and watched the unfolding Madness. Yes, March Madness. I was watching 3 games simultaneously on my computer, it was great. Jumping back and forth between each one. I was in heaven. And then all these upsets started to happen, and I wasn't in heaven anymore. Especially, when Georgetown decided to suck. That pissed me off. One loss ruins a team out to the Elite 8 on my bracket, and Georgetown is my favorite team, so what the hell! And to Ohio? Really? To Ohio. That's pathetic. The Big East sucks! SUCKS! So overrated it's not even funny. And then Kansas has trouble with Lehigh. What is going on this year? I will say this though, the first round has been amazing so far. Murray State at the buzzer was crazy! Robert Morris playing Nova into OT! BYU and Florida into double OT! Insane!
Today, woke up at noon. That was great. Then I had hoops fever, so I went to play some basketball at the gym. Since nobody in Ireland cares about basketball, I ended up shooting bball by myself for like 2 hours. Haha.
This afternoon I tried to finish up my music paper and got most of it done. Then I just watched basketball until about 9. My bracket is looking pretty good so far. The only real hit I took was the GTown loss. I had them to the Elite 8. Other than that, all my Elite 8 teams remain but GTown, and I only lost one other Sweet 16 so far, and that was Utah St. Other than that everyone else is alive and kicking for the Sweet 16 so I'm pretty happy. The only game I got wrong in the West was UTEP, and I only got Texas and Temple wrong in the East. My Midwest and South are my killers so far. Midwest I got San Diego State, Gtown and OK. State wrong. In the South I got Utah St., Siena, ND and Richmond wrong. But everyone but Utah St. was only a first rounder so I'm not too worried.
Other than that I got nothin else right now. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Werner out.
