Back Again for the Stretch Run

You know, Spring Break's never long enough. Starting back to class today, I feel more like I've had a long weekend than a real break. Oh well, I guess you've gotta take what you can get.

It was a pretty good break, though, I must say. I got to go to Langerado, the big music festival, the first weekend, and that was pretty awesome, despite some crazy weather. I've been a Beastie Boys fan for about as long as I can remember (strike that: far longer than I can remember) and it was really cool to finally see them live, as the Friday night headliner. Some other highlights were stunning sets by Les Claypool and Dark Star Orchestra on Thursday night, and the always fun live show of 311. Saturday and Sunday were less fun, as I was feeling under the weather, and it's really hard to enjoy a music festival when you're sick. Once again, oh well.

Monday and Tuesday were days of rest, Wednesday I got to see a great They Might Be Giants show in Ft. Lauderdale, and my parents visited from Thursday to Saturday. We had a good time, ate good food, watched some basketball, all that good stuff. I'm very excited about Vanderbilt getting a 4 seed for the NCAA tournament, and it's also cool that UM pulled off a 7. Both were pleasant surprises. I was expecting more like a 5 or 6 for Vandy and a 10 for UM. The tournament starts Thursday, and I can't wait. Vandy vs. Siena Friday night. Hopefully we won't be the monumental upset of the first round.

Well, now that I'm back, it's hard to believe how little time is left in the semester. We're really approaching the stretch run. Less than two months left. I have a test and a big paper due this week, and then I'll be able to take it easy for a little while all the way up to finals. Alright, I guess that's all for this post...
