mexican basketball

i'm a little sad that i'm going to be in mexico or in transit to/from during most of the ncaa college basketball tournament. but going to mexico is a much better cause so i'm not going to skip. plus i already paid nic.

last weekend was great, watching the syracuse orangemen win three improbable victories to take the big east championship. oh yeah, caleb was here too watching alongside me. thursday thru saturday were three great days of college basketball conference tournaments. and today begins the ncaa tournament aka the big dance. i entered into three pools on facebook and so far (after only three games) i'm at the top of all three. after work today, i plan to spend the evening: watching basketball, packing for mexico, and possibly eating.

enough about college basketball, now on to magdalena, mexico. it's going to be great. i've never actually been to mexico the closest being tucson on family vacation '96. plus, i get to go with a fantastic group from u of i/parkland and it promises to be a great time. i'm a little nervous about speaking spanish since i don't even speak enough to survive a week in madrid. i'll just resort to french and get a lot of weird looks. the isu group is there right now so i hope they're not wrecking the place for us to fix up. nah, i'm sure they're having a great time and getting a lot accomplished.

anyhoo, i'll be offline for a week or so. (fri thru sat) hope everyone else has a great time in illinois!
