RIP Spring Break 2005

Spring break was nice, but went by way too fast. I was home the whole time, rented a lot of movies, went shopping a couple of days, and watched A LOT of college basketball. My dad loves to watch the NCAA tournaments, especially when WVU is having a good year. This year, they are amazing. They were runner-up of the Big East tournament and in the most amazing game I've ever seen, they knocked Wake Forest out of the Sweet Sixteen in a double overtime game. It was so intense I was screaming at the TV and started jumping up and down when they won. I have a personal grudge against Wake Forest, and that made it so much better. Thursday night they play Texas Tech and if they win, it'll be the farthest they've made it in the tournament since the 1960s or 70s. I can't wait to watch.

Now that I'm back, I'm so unmotivated to do anything. I spent all afternoon and all night last night talking to people, watching TV, and hanging out in various rooms. I have a 5 page semi-research paper due tomorrow that I haven't even started and I seem to not even care. Is it sad that I already wish it was summer? I was getting so much sleep when I was home, and now it's back to 3 hours a night. Sad.

I still don't know what I'm going to do this summer. I have to find something to do at home because I have to do something that will pay me and I can't pay extra money for housing and such. It really sucks that I'm so limited in what I can do because of money. I can't intern in a city somewhere, my parents won't even consider letting me go abroad. I want to do something fun and different, but I have to stay home in the usual routine. As long as I don't have to scan groceries another summer, I think I'll be fine.

I'm glad it's slowly turning into spring. I always feel rejuvenated and renewed, like I could take on the world each spring. I do wish it would get a little wamer though because it's in between when you don't know whether or not to wear a coat outside and either wear it and get too hot or don't wear it and freeze. The housing lottery is coming and I certainly hope it's not as crazy at it was last year. We have 6 people together, but we haven't thought about what to do if we're forced to split up. We're just hoping to get a good number in either the special interest or normal lottery.

I never know how to end these entries. I sometimes feel like stopping, but think it's too abrupt if I just stop. I'm always trying to think of some nice ending or something, but not today. It's just over.
