Swarmed Under

I'm going to be up front with you. This post...is going to suck. It'll probably be the worst piece of writing I have ever had the misfortune of bringing forth to wreak its havoc on the good earth. As a matter of fact, it already is. But don't let that stop you from reading it!

This is going to have to be quick. It's writing this blog or getting enough sleep, and it's obvious which one I'm picking. So if I'm cranky tomorrow (today), then cut me some slack. The reason why this is such a godawful post (besides the fact that I keep planting the idea in your head) is that I just had my first experience of the harbinger of everlasting torture and boredom that is my Econ homework. I worked on it for about an hour. I got part a done pretty quickly...only 10 minutes or so. Then I spent the next 50 minutes putting numbers for 31 observations into a spreadsheet. I'm talking literally a spreadsheet. Like, a piece of looseleaf paper that I had spread out on my desk. No Excel allowed for this assignment. And, as an added bonus, all of the numbers (calculated with the dinkiest four function calculator you'd ever seen) must be carried out to 4 decimal places. So, now, long story short, I'm almost done with part b. Only 5 more parts to go. Due Friday. At noon. And I'm at work from 9-12:30. So I need to hand it in beforehand. In the snow. Barefoot. Uphill both ways. Broken glass everywhere. Subzero temperatures. Passing bears attempting to maul me at every turn. It's gonna be fun, I'm looking forward to it.

Now to some quick Cuse basketball updates. It was a tale of two Kris Josephs this past week. Kind of. Kris played pretty poorly for the first 35 minutes of last Wednesday's UConn game. Missed a ton of shots. Turned the ball over a few times. Played lackadaisical defense. Hoooowever, the last 5 minutes featured Kris as a lockdown defender and as a rebounding machine. And, as a bonus, with the game on the line, he made 4 straight free throws in the last 30 seconds to seal the deal. Cuse wins, UConn doesn't. Just the way things should be.

Fast forward to Cuse Louisville. Nobody goes for Cuse on offense. We couldn't have score a basket if it were the size of the referee that everyone wanted so badly to punch. Kris missed layup after layup, but for some reason was a flawless 2-for-2 with his jumpshots. I had no idea what was happening. But, we lost. No offense+no rebounding+intentional fouls = 30,000 very disappointed Cuse fans.

I apologize for the brevity of this post. And its lack of content. And humor. And pretty much everything I try to get out of this blog for you guys. So bear with me, when I don't have the worst homework assignment in the world to do, I'll do better. Next week maybe? (fingers crossed)
