march madness

I recently set up an account with espn.com so i could fill out a bracket for mens basketball. this is a tournament that is carried out through march and into april. they play day after day to determine who is the best mens basketball team in the nation. filling out a bracket, for those who dont know means going through each game and deciding a winner up until the national championship game. i went through every game picking my teams and submitted my decisions. there was a reason i wasted this timem, which i could have been spending on school. this reason was a grand prise trip to the final 4 games with free air far, hotel and a chance to win like ten thousand if you guess the right score. i was pretty into my picks and realized that i was doing pretty good by the score that the web site keeps for the games you. Up until this weekend i had a legitamite shot of going to the final 4 with a friend but i am now officially kicked the hell out of the race. all my teams basically lost on upsets and i am pretty distrot. there goes that plan for spring break. i think ill get over it ill be in tahoe for my 21st.

school

i have been off the site for a while but it is great to be back. i have been so busy with work, job searching and school that i lost track of time. this week is going to define much of my grade in two other classes. two midterms amoung the same general catagory...human history. anthropology, the study of humans and modern humanities, the study of historical art amoung europe through out the renaissance, boroque and romanitic period. history repeates itself and i figure that is why people find the information important enough to teach in college. i find anthropology suprisingly interesting, studing different types of culture really opens up your mind. that class has also had me thinking about human kind outside the United States much more. as far as humanities goes, iv been having a hard time retaining the informaition. so many names and so many paintings. i will admit that i am becoming more interested in classical art work and sculptures and italian history. these studies lead me to thinking about the option of studing abroad for a semester. it could be a cheep option to experience the history of my culture. well see where the idea can take me. i would like to go to Italy where most of my roots are from on my mothers side. im going to check to los rios web sight to see what i can find.
