Baseball Season + March Madness

So, is anyone else excited that baseball season is starting soon. Baseball is really the only sport that i follow closely. I am a huge Mets fan, and am hoping they have another really good year this year, which with the team they have is entirely possible. I'm not really a big fan of the Yankees, neither do I like the Red Sox. When they play however, they are always fun games to watch, and I guess if I had to pick one of the two, I do like the Yankees more, just not by alot.

Is anyone elses March madness bracket going down the shitter? I still do have 3 of my final 4 in, but I had Louisville in the final four, and of course they lost in the second round. I never liked Texas A&M, and with them beating Louisville, it just made it all worse. So, now the only way I can win my pool is if i get all the rest of my picks right. Which includes Georgetown beating UCLA in the championship game. So, all is not lost yet, but I hope everything goes through as follows.

Vacation

So...wow I am really excited that we have an entire week off now. Anyone have any big plans for their spring break? I personally don't have much planned. I kinda like that though, I mean I like sitting around my house doing nothing for a little while, it seems like I'm never there anymore, so it's kinda cool just to bum around there for a bit. Its kinda weird tho, this is the first semester I haven't had to do a bunch of reading over my spring break, considering that this is my only english class this semester, so I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. I was just thinking about buying some new books for the vacation, any suggestions out there? Last semester I took an english class in which we read "Oranges are not the only fruit" by Jeannette Winterson. I really liked it, so I read a couple more books by her, and she really is an amazing author. If anyone gets some free time you should really read "The Passion" it's one of my new favorite books, I read the whole book the day I bought it, it was very hard to put down. I would also really like to go to a concert of some sort while I am home, but the music scene from my area, is umm, pretty dead. I live directly between Syracuse and Utica, and let me tell you, it is very rare for a band that I even remotely like to come tour around me. I usually have to drive a couple hours to go see a band, which is kind of a pain in the ass. I wish I was from a more populated area and could go to alot of shows whenever I wanted. Three of my suitemates are from right outside Hartford, and they would just go see shows all the times, because the bands we like are always going there, so yeah, I envy them. Anywho, I hope everyone has a good break, and that no one has to do too much work, because thats just lame.
