What I'm Listening To: Knock On Wood-Eddie Floyd
Before I say anything, I just want to wish everyone a happy belated St. Patrick's Day. I represented my Irish side of the family with a sparkling swash of green, and it was amazing to see people out in green everywhere. I sometimes think that people don't really wear it, especially the more darker green because they don't want to walk around looking like grass all the time. Speaking of grass, the snow has finally melted and it has actually been hot up here, which is saying a lot for Wisconsin. It was 55 degrees and people were out in their shorts and flip flops, which I think is doing too much, but whatever. Yesterday I saw my first bikini. Usually, crazy people congregate out on Bascom Hill or in front of the Kohl Center and sunbathe. Literally. They have towels and lay out in bathing suits, which I think is ridiculous especially because we are no where near a beach or sand except for the sand that they used to melt the snow this winter (which didn't). So girls are just randomly outside in bikinis which is uncomfortable for our male population (or the day they've been waiting for the whole year) and for prospective students walking around. It's not that hard to leave some of your clothes out. If we were in Miami in a beach, I wouldn't be as adamant, but since we're actually in residential areas, it's unacceptable. End rant...
Anyway, it's that fateful time of year again! People at work, people in council and all of my friends are asking for my March Madness brackets. I'm not even close to filling mine out and they're due tomorrow. Somebody lend a hand... I most likely won't be able to watch that much anyway because of the book and other random things that prevent me from watching a lot of TV. But I'll follow vicariously through other people and hopefully be able to catch a few games. What are your fantasy teams or brackets? Enlighten me!
On another note, MIDTERMS ARE FINALLY OVER! Yes! This weekend is going to be good because hopefully I can sleep. I was studying with my friend Kylie for our Spanish midterm and I was literally falling asleep in the middle of my conversations with her, so stuff would come out random. Example, I was talking to her about La Malinche and then all of a sudden I would talk about how I had money in my Bible and how this was a good thing for the community because I would be able to help them out. I don't actually have/keep money in my Bible and I swear I ripped off a story from Chicken Soup from the Teenage Soul or something for that. Most of the time she would look at me and a lot of the time she would turn to her laptop until I woke up to what I was actually saying. Scary. This is why I need to stop going to bed at 2:30am and waking up at 7:45am everyday. Happy Thursday everyone and hopefully these blog posts will keep on coming!
