March Madness

OK, so I'm in a basketball pool for the NCAA championships -- I chose Duke to win it all, and though they were eliminated early, I am still leading in the pool over all the other students that are in it with me. The guy that coordinated the pool now says the guys (#2 and #4) who picked Illinois and North Carolina to go all the way will split the winnings ($30) 50-50. It's annoying to me -- I still may have the most wins even after this game is over -- I picked Illinois to go to the big dance, but lose to Duke, so I was close.... Ah, well, 25-year-olds: what are ya gonna do?

Not much else new and chaotic today (thank God) -- got my Greek exam back -- 78.5, so with the 88.5 I already have, I'm still in the B range. Eh. Waiting on an ecumenics reflection paper back.... Sang in chapel today with the gospel choir -- the message preached was anti-war -- you go, girl! "I ain't gonna study war no more...." Sat near the friend who wants some space from me.... Mom called -- needed to bend my ear awhile -- mad that I was too busy to talk with her the other day -- not too busy, really (I mean, I was, but that was the excuse reason) -- just didn't want to hear her sympathy about a dog she never liked.

Still kind of in a bitchy mood. Did get my preaching workshop critique in and have made dinner plans with my preaching coach -- a nice guy I met in November -- we always said we'd get together, and we never have. Went shopping Sat. and got presents for a bridal shower I'm attending in 2 weeks. Also got 4 hand-written notes out in the mail today -- to women at the NAPC conf. So I feel good about that. A few loads of laundry -- got to take your pleasures/accomplishments where you can get them. Same friend who needs space says I have a high need for acknowledgement/recognition. Whoopee! Goodie for me....
