Brackets Dude

My interest (which I was VERY interested, actually) in March Madness completely disappeared on Saturday around 11 pm.  Why you may ask, well that is because my Buckeyes let a 13 point lead disappear.  But, alas, I still love them and am just glad I didn't go to New Orleans.  Because I would have been that much more disappointed!

So, no, I did not watch the championship game.  Well that's not actually completely true, because I was really pulling for Kentucky of course, I mean if my bucks are gone, better cheer for my houseboat neighbors' team.  But I wasn't watching it intently.  And I didn't really care.

Anyways, my bracket struggled all along, but really struggled after Saturday.  There's always next March, though! 

#201: Craft "pfft'ed" at the thought of leaving OSU for the pro's.  I love that we get him another year.
#202: OSU got recognition from several sports teams this weekend for being an always strong academic and athletic presence.
#203: By the way, I attend the number one social work school in the United States.  (brushing my shoulders off as I type).
#204: Clients making visible and obvious progress in treatment.  And the feeling of accomplishment at the sight of their joy and social engagement. 
#205: Puppies.  I love my scarlet doodle and my boom-dog.  And I love that they're always so excited to see me, no matter what. 

Basketball NCAA Title

Do you like sports?  Well I like watching sports.  Playing? I'd rather swim :) 

Anyways; the NCAA championship game for men's basketball just concluded, and if you missed it...don't waste time watching it!  WORST TITLE GAME EVER WATCHED.  Seriously.  Butler now holds the record for lowest FG percentage at a title game...sad story.


I was cheering for Butler, but unfortunately, the UCONN huskies won.  Which is fine.  I don't have a particularly strong allegiance to Butler, but their star player Matt Howard does happen to be from the town I grew up in in Indiana :)  Connersville, IN is a tiny little baby town that has been hard hit by the recession, and I spent 7 years of my precious little childhood there, probably passing Howard many times (or so I like to think!). 

Here's to hoping that the Buckeyes make it to the championship next year, and here's to hoping for a much more exciting game!!  By the way, next year, the championship is in New Orleans...take me, please :)

Tired

After a great weekend in Cleveland cheering for Ohio State at the NCAA tournament, I am exhausted.  The games ended at 10 last night...which meant I had to drive long time late at night. boo.  And it was storming most of the way.  I saw a car get struck by lightning (this was nuts) and I had to stop at rest stops a couple times to wake myself up enough to keep going.  No fun, friends.  BUT..the weekend, so fun.

I will admit that I am paying for my lack of sleep and too many days in a row being a college student (aka going "out").  Good thing Monday class isn't until 1 pm ...
