Me = Lazy
Wow, I sure have been lazy with my LiveJournal these days... Let me attempt to fill stuff in.
Syracuse made it to the Final Four! Wooo! So cool! The game is down in New Orleans, but for $3, you could see it on hue TVs in the Carrier Dome. Sam and I went with her friend Kristin. While we were there we ran into Andrew, and we also ran into Linda and some of her friends. So we all sat together, and it was WAY fun. It was especially fun because we WON! The Championship game is on Monday. While it conflicts with a very important Relay meeting, I will go to see the rest of it after the meeting. (I won't miss too much!)
After the game, Sam and I and Kristen went riding around Marshall Street (where everyone was migrating to the bars to celebrate), honking the hon and screaming, and holding up our "Go Orange!" sign. We were quite well-received by other S.U. fans. It was WAY fun.
Also yesterday, I went with my American Orientalism class to Friderick Church's Olana. It was his home which he designed and decorated in an Oriental style. (Now it is a Historical Landmark.) He also brought back a number of pieces (furniture, china, decorations, etc.) from different Middle Eastern countries from his travels. it was very cool, but it was too bad the weather was nasty, because we stayed inside for the most part. Apparently in nice weather, it is very fun to walk around his grounds.
On Friday, we went to Alicia's place of work (the American Cancer Society office) for a Pizza Party and pre-Relay planning. It was very fun and productive. We grouped t-shirts for all of the teams that have registered, so that they can pick them up on the Monday night meeting. I have a lot, lot, lot of work to do for Relay in the upcoming days. I am SO excited, though!!
My parents are in Italy right now with my Uncle Bob and Aunt Paula. Before Italy, they spent a few days in London. My dad e-mailed me from a London Cafe. He said that they were having fun, and they rode on the huge ferris wheel, the London Eye. Very exciting! They will be home in about a week.
