Hola Gryph! Man, I haven't seen you on in forever.
And sheesh, people, I didn't mean to insult/offend your sensibilities with the food comment
It's just me and my dad weren't all that impressed. But it was acceptable. I could eat Pennsylvanian food for 4 years. At least it was better than Boston *runs for cover*
So we got back last night from New Orleans. Jambalaya! Pralines! Broad accents that I had to quasi-translate for my friend! Swamp and voodoo tours! I didn't get any beignets, though, because the line was way too long. There was a festival of some sort, which I really should know the name of but I can't remember. It was a choir trip, so of course we performed at a few schools, as well as at Loyola. The underclassmen had to go on a campus tour, but since us seniors are pretty much decided our director set us free (thank God), and we went to the park across the street, whereupon we mobbed the ice cream truck, sat under a tree and talked about college, and played hackysack. That was the best part of the trip, I think, just relaxing for an hour or so with our friends.
We also went to see Wicked while we were there. It was so amazing! My friends have been going on about how good it was for years, but this was the first time I'd seen it. Now I can understand their obsession. Except for the part where they waited by the stage door for the actors to come out, 'cause they kept the rest of us there until 11:30 at night. Go see it again some day, wait on your own time, I'm tired and want to sleep.
In other news, March Madness is over, and we won the pot! It's something like $565, and it was our mascot bracket, of all things. Mascot bracket meaning that, with some exceptions, we pitted the mascots of each team against each other and decided which one we liked better. We only won because we had Michigan State beating Kansas and getting to the Final Four, and we had Duke winning the championship. Spartans and Blue Devils are beast. We = me and my sister, so we have to split it, but it's still about $100 better than I did last year, when I got third with a legitimate bracket. It's a pool of 200 at my mom's work, and she says we've ticked off a lot of people (we're pretty much the youngest ones in the pot, and it's a MASCOT bracket), but we don't care

We had all kinds of fun...all resulting from DD staying up till 2 am to talk to us (right before leaving for Rome, I might add...)
I hope you recover perfectly and quickly! But science... Science should be a verb. Or maybe it is a verb already...
