Hello friend.
This is going to be a very short post because I have an exam to study for. Biology of the Brain. Interesting, but the PNB departments makes the class so much harder than it needs to be.
My school is currently playing in the championship game in March Madness. I haven't really been following until recently because we always make it to the final four. Our women lost last night which was pretty surprising. A lot of people were pretty bummed out today. I don't quite get it. It's a sports team. These people who you idolize are just regular students like yourself. Yes, they are amazing basketball players, but does them winning or losing affect you so much so that you feel the need to cause a riot after the game? (Just to clarify, riots occur both after we win and lose. People can't cope with failure. People get high off of success.)
I think that people get crazy when it comes to things like Final Four or the Super Bowl. I think it's because I didn't grow up with getting excited about basketball or football. My dad and grandfather brought me up playing and watching baseball. When people get crazy into a baseball game or the World Series, I find that perfectly normal. But when people are screaming out of their dorm room windows every time we get a basket, that just seems so foreign to me.
I should mention that as I am writing this, I'm also watching the game on mute. (I can't handle the squeaking of their sneakers as they run across the floor.) I'm learning a lot about the game. People fall a lot. And the game is very fast-paced. It's enjoyable, I must admit. And I hope we win. I am proud to be a Husky, even if I don't always follow the games and show it.
If you feel a little gypped with such a short blog, by all means I encourage you to enjoy the video that I posted for VEDA today. It's also pretty short, but with this exam, it's really all I could do. Same with this. Oh well. Enjoy.
Go Huskies! Hm, maybe I'll follow more next year. It will be my last year as a Husky, after all.
