SPRING BREAK: THE WEEKEND

Spring Break has started (meaning Winter Term is over!). The dorms closed so I moved in with some teammates.

This weekend we drove to Spokane, Washington to race Gonzaga. It was a good race (we won). Most people go to Florida or New Orleans or home for spring break but I went to Spokane, WA. I'm not sure if you folks have been to Spokane recently...whoo whee...it's hopping. NOT.

We did drive on I-90 which was exciting for me and only me because it's the same road that goes right near my house in Chicago and I was way across the country in Washington! I wanted to hop out and just take the road home.

On Saturday night the team went to Outback Steakhouse. We're in Gonzaga Town and their basketball team was in the Sweet 16 during March Maddness so the game's on. But the Duke vs Texas game also was on. Mel and I both have Duke winning it all (for some unknown reason) so were waaay more interested in that game. The Texas Duke game's score is shoved in the corner and would just disappear with replays and timeouts. It's was obnoxious.
Although the Gonzaga vs Western Kentucky game turned out to be really exciting with Gonzaga winning on a final shot at the buzzer and the whole restaurant erupts in cheers. The Duke game score disappears with only a minute left and a little too close to comfort. The Gonzaga fans stop paying attention but Mel and I are still freaking out. Duke also wins with a nice tada and Mel and I jump up and down and everyone stares at us. The end.

Now I'm back at my teammates house with my new phone (thanks, Mom!) and am thirsty.
