Spring Break of Ups & Downs

Unfortunately my Spring Break week just came to an end. Classes resume tomorrow. Doh.

What a week of ups & downs. Last Tuesday, I found out from my sister that my Lolo Ven passed away. Thank you for all the childhood memories. My only regret is not visiting the Philippines after you moved back there. I will miss you, Lolo.

Thursday, the Washington Huskies kept the No. 1 seed winning streak intact versus the Montana Grizzlys. The superstition bug has hit me. I can't cut my hair nor wear another shirt on game days besides my #3 (Brandon Roy) away jersey until the Huskies lose or when tournament ends. Even though my hair is already getting out of control, I'm hoping it's the latter for the Huskies being crowned as the 2005 National Champions would have a nice ring to it.

Friday, it snowed a reported 20 inches in 24 hours. I should have stayed home instead of going into work, where I got stuck in the parking lot. I had to get my roommate and his officemate to come help me push my car. That probably has been my worst driving experience in the Minnesota snow. On second thought, it would be my second worst after the time I did two 360's on the highway.

Saturday, the Washington Huskies advanced to the Sweet 16 with a convincing win over the Pacific Tigers. After shoveling the driveway for 3 hours, we also hosted a huge party at our house for our friend's birthday. Plenty of beer, DDR, college basketball, karoke, and hot tubbing. It was the first time I've ever jumped into the snow the into a hot tub. I thought it would be cool, but I found out the hard way that it's not as fun as advertised.

Sunday, finished a fantasy baseball draft with my friends back in Seattle. I will give myself a draft grade of a C+ . It could have gone better, though last year I thought my team was terrible, and I made the playoffs for the 2nd year in a row. The Mariners on my team are Jeremy Reed and Adrian Beltre. Go M's.

That pretty much wrapped up my Spring Break week. Ironically, it didn't feel like "Spring" nor much of a "Break".
