The tournament’s been over for over a week now, but I still have pictures to post. Deal with it!

I bought a vuvuzela just for the tournament.

I was really worried about taking it to Hinkle Fieldhouse for the viewing party. I thought that security would take it away or the people in front of me would get mad. NEITHER HAPPENED. The people in front of me were Butler alumni and the guy directly in front of me there said he loved it.

It’s nice to see some love for the vuvuzela.

Right! So! The Final Four was such a great game. I was so happy to be a part of the Butler family at Hinkle and watch a hard earned win. Here’s my bulldog face to prove it.

It was a really good run in the tournament this year. Campus is always buzzing, even with the team not coming back to Indy for the final games. I saw at least a dozen news vans on campus! One morning, there were three parked outside of Hinkle as I was walking back from class, and I saw a guy in sweats with a huge Starbucks drink booking it into the building. I squinted and realized Brad Stevens had dodged three bullets. Go Brad go!

I always get sad when the tournament is over. There’s this kind of dullness that takes over as we all realize we’ve been ignoring everything but basketball for three weeks. Sigh!

As an aside, I almost ran over Shelvin Mack in the parking lot of the Apartment Village last week. Sorry Shelvin.

Yes! I got a new phone! What kind, you ask?

You’ve probably never heard of it.

It’s a Cincinnati Bell original called the Blaze. Which is awesome.

I got it almost 2 weeks ago. I’m not used to the touch screen yet. Texts that used to take me fifteen seconds to type now take up to 3 minutes. I was going to demonstrate with a video, but I’ve gotten good enough at typing that it’s just not embarrassing enough, and therefore not worth it.

But seriously, just call me if you’re going to ask a question that requires a complicated answer. My predictive text can get kind of shady.

Curtis text while on spring break: I’m bored!

Me: Want to do my [predictive text offers: wife, husband, brother] … research?

Predictive text, why?! I think it has an evil mind of its own.

I’m going to use my phone for good and not for evil tomorrow and get some pictures of the blue fountains on campus. Final Four festivities are going to be off the hook tomorrow!!

I’m going to intern at a hospital this summer!

Supposedly!

There’s a great program here at Butler where you can get your hospital internship hours through a 4-week program. Unfortunately I have no status on when and where I’m doing this program, and I won’t hear until next week. There are complications, apparently. This is a little distressing considering Curtis and I are going to look for an apartment on Saturday. And I haven’t a clue when we’re going to move in.

BUT. I’m not going to stress about the possibility of having to move all of my stuff here back to Cincinnati and then back to Indy later in the summer due to having to intern back home or something. Nope. Not worried.

Anyway, it’s officially Friday. Get your earplugs ready.

Oh, and to put a cap on this fabulous week, I just remembered I need to finish my group research paper. It’s 12:36 AM and I have lab at 8 in the morning. whywhywhy.
