march (mental) madness.

i take things waaay too seriously.

i can't even fathom updating you on school at the moment, friend. let's just say that for the second time in the past 4 months, the glass window above the door to my classroom was shattered by students playing around. this time a rain of jagged bits of glass showered onto several of my advisees as they waited for the bell. a couple got cut. all from some 17 year old 9th grader who thought he'd go down the hall slamming his palm against the glass as hard as he could. great job. but at least we get good friday off. that means only 3 days left of school.

but more importantly, i am attempting to fill out my bracket for the tournament. i haven't had the time or energy (or sadly, the satellite tv) to keep up with my college teams (aka the pac 10) much this season, so i'm sort of filling it out blindly. take my logic in this match up:

7 Butler v. 10 Southern Alabama

"Where is Butler? Hmm. I guess Southern Alabama is in...well, Southern Alabama. I bet they could be a good upset team. They play basketball in Alabama. " And thus, I have them making it all the way to a tragic 2nd round loss to Tennessee. If Sports Center ever tells me they're hiring, advise them to reconsider my resume.

Anyway. Despite my gross ignorance of the 2007-08 college basketball season, I am getting excited to impractically have 3 of my final 4 picks be from the west coast. yep. i vote with my heart, not with my logic bone. have you filled out a bracket? want to advise me against my Stanford/UCLA showdown on April 5? hit me back here.
