It's official... Huggins is staying at UC!

Monday, March 25, 2002

It's still been a long time...
Well, Spring break is over, and so are the Bearcats in the NCAA tourney; they lost to UCLA in the second round.
It's all cool though cuz Bob Huggins is staying at UC!

I haven't had much time to blog these days. Spring Quarter began today, and it looked more like late winter outside, just rainy and windy and just plain cold. The type of cold that makes you want to stay in the house. But I had to go and take care of business though. Still have books to purchase; I am so tempted to sign up for a credit card right about now. I get at least a couple of applications in the mail about week-and-a-half, and there are credit card reps on campus every now and again. I'll just hold off a little longer on applying for a major credit card.

But I digress, I need to go and read some chapters from the classes that I'm taking. Let's see I'm taking:
Spanish (last quarter of it -woo hoo!)
American History (1920-present)
Microeconomics (which seems to hard already, and the class has only met once!)
Physics of sound and music (I hope that the class is interesting, cuz I'm not good at science)
and the Principles of Information Systems (which is my last business core course before I begin classes based on my major- woo hoo!).

Right when I was starting up that site at envy.nu, this happens: http://envynews.0catch.com/ That's the business world for ya.
It's been a long time...since I blogged!

Winter quarter classes are now over! I'm officially celebrating spring break, although technically it doesn't begin until Monday. But who cares-I'm free from campus stress for a week! I even decided to take a week off from work, which seems a bit extreme because I enjoy my job, but I just don't want to see the UC campus until March 25th, that's all. The only UC related thing that I would like to hear about is the Bearcats being in the NCAA tourney. I checked out the ESPN official site yesterday way before the cats whooped Boston College later on that evening to check out the brackets. I thought about filling one out, but I don't know of anyone running any pools to predict the winners. I remember reading an editorial in the campus newspaper, and the writer pratically said that he's just gonna enjoy watching all the games, instead of rattling his brain trying to predict who's gonna beat whom, especially if you're guessing. That doesn't seem like a bad idea at all; I may download the brackets in pdf format just to have something to do.

Since I'm free from school and work at the library for a week, I think that I'm finally going to open my website at Geocites. At first I used it to transfer all of my pics from my MSN site, because it was at risk of shutting down. Then I began to use it to link to pictures for this blog. After all of that, I should just go on ahead and open it up as a website. Just for an in the meantime sort of thing until I find something else to do...endless possibilities.

I did one thing today: I watched parts of our New Year's Eve party on tape, from 2000 (going into 2001), with my Mom . I haven't seen that tape since my Dad went to heaven. I don't perfer to say died, it just doesn't sit well with me. Anywho, it was just funny to see him try to sing along with the songs that were playing, and watch him scratch his belly on camera. I know that it sounds odd, but all you could see under his sweater was white t-shirt. My Dad wasn't a little guy, he was kinda, well, round, but it just looked funny to see his mannerisms on tape. I'm very grateful that we have New Year's Eve tape. Maybe one day I can show it to my kids, which will be a long time from now. Not ready for the babies just yet!

Gonna go for now and start to work on that layout!

My world is revolving around school, maybe a bit too much. Well, finals are coming up dammit!
Can't ya just feel the tension?!
Ok, now I'm going through chorus withdrawls already, and it's only been one day since that class has ended for the quarter. It ended on a high note, with the big Spring kick-off concert Sunday afternoon. Although I sitll have the rest of the week for the rest of my classes (Managerial Accounting, Business Law, Business Statistics, Spanish, and Effective Public Speaking)- I still won't be ready for finals next week. I'm never fully prepared; I can study all quarter (in which I haven't) and still don't feel prepared.

Oy Vey! Uh, did i spell that right?!?

I have a feeling that this is gonna be another one of those quarters. I'm not expecting to be back at any point of normalcy just yet-I have a long way to go to adjusting to my new situation at home, with it being just my Mom and I now. It still feels weird; I believe that the uneasiness will always remain, but it gets more bearable with time. When push comes to shove, I will still miss my Dad; no doubt about it!

I'm very sure that I will pass Effective Public Speaking, Spanish, and Business Law; I'm am unsure about passing Business Stats, but Managerial Accounting especially.
Well, I forgot that wrestling was on, so I'm gonna watch a little of that to ease my mind a bit then get back to my homework, eventually.
