The "Going Dancing" Tuesday Ramblings

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I realize I have made about 3 posts over the last 50-odd days. I chalk this up to a variety of things: many midterms, a packed intramural sport schedule, internship applications, a very bad cold, a good friend visiting, the Gopher basketball and hockey teams closing out their seasons. Point being, I was very busy. It was very good at times, and not so good at others, but very, very busy. So it's nice Spring Break rolled around so I can catch my breath.

Last Sunday was Selection Sunday, usually one of my favorite days of the year, but this year it was filled with nervous tension as the Gophers were on the bubble. When 6 PM rolled around, I was either going to be ecstatic or depressed, and I had no control over what would happen. It's funny how life can give you those situations.

In St. Louis, it is very warm. It felt weird to put on shoes with shorts on. My legs felt so bare. Damn you, winter.

I have returned to find my family obsessed with the food channel. I don't really get the allure, but it's not bad. I started watching with my family, and then before you know it, BAM!, I realized I had just watched three hours of people cooking things I can't even taste. Three hours! It wasn't even that interesting, I just kind of zoned out. It was frightening. Very, very frightening. The Food Network scares me.
