My Travels this Week

Today is the first day I've been back at my computer working on stuff for a while. I have been once again traveling the East Coast with family.
On Tuesday night, my Mom, Grandma, Aunt Ame and I all went to the second round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. The game was University of Maryland vs. Utah. Maryland won! WOOT!


The game was really fun. A different crowd to watch college athletics with, that's for sure, but fun non-the-less. Mom and I talked shop the whole time and MAN DO I LOVE BASKETBALL!!! It never dies.

I feel like my love of basketball is this daffodil, it hides for a lot of the year. It is suppressed by the layers of "life snow" that lay themselves on top of my things-to-do-list and I forget that it's there. Then, just at the right time, the little bit of yellow and green shine through and burst through the barrier without hesitation and my basketball daffodil is alive and well again.
So analogies aside--I had a great time. Memories made once again.

Yesterday, Mom and I spent the whole day on the road to go get my plane tickets and see Erin play against York (@Frostburg).
The plane tickets are for my trip to USC the first weekend in April! I'm going to the Admitted Graduate Stuents Weekend, and I am MAJORLY excited! On April 3rd I will be attending a screening of Forest Gump followed by a Q&A with Director Robert Zemekis and actors Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise... "Lt. Dan's got magic legs." That's right.
The other two days I'm there I'll be attending screenings of shorts...a film nerd's dream!
I can't wait to see the school!!! The plane tickets are purchased and the cop at the airport's got my Mom's van on his list of things to look out for...lol.
Erin's game was fun. I love getting to see her play. She is the skinniest goalie in history, I swear.
I enjoyed seeing her but you know what I don't enjoy? Frostburg.
I have visited her many times over the past four years and NOT ONCE HAS IT BEEN SUNNY. Every time it rains or is cloudy and cold.
She goes to school where the sun don't shine. A butt.
Yesterday proved it further. Also--I wore my Dad's rain pants that dwarfed me to looking like I'm 3ft tall. LOL.

Today, I am recovering and working on Financial Aid stuff. Scholarship searches and such. If you have any suggestions of where to find money to pay for school...please let me know :)
More traveling to come in the near future and hopefully I'll find out about Ford Fiesta soon too!!

PS
Jay and Sarah sent me pics of Julia "J-Dawg" in Pheonix...she's already so different! She's a goofball and a 1/2!


Katharine too! :)
