Let's see, what's new this week? Hmmm, nothing really. I'm going home Friday... everyone is just kinda going back and I want to see my family and everything. So that should be fun.

What else? Oh, I shall gush about the weather. It's been AWESOME lately. In the sixties/low seventies with little clouds... ahhh. Walking to class is no longer a chore, it's actually enjoyable. Gotta love the April-September in the Northwest. Like... six months of good weather!

Tonight I went to the NCAA Women's Gymnastics National Championship. It was held in Corvallis this year (who'da thunk it?). The main reason I went was to cheer on the Lady Beavs, who make the field for the first time in like... four years? Maybe. Something like that. The top twelve teams in the country compete (where was Boise State?). So anyway, they spilt the 12 into two groups and then have the top three of each group advance to the "final night".

Beavers only were average on this night however, and against the best competition in the nation, it wasn't enough. So they didn't advance. Oh well, it was still fun. Almost 5,000 people were there, about 4500 of which were decked out in orange. There were a lot of teams from the South who brought good rooting sections though and they were pretty comical.

Anyways, it was a lot better than watching the OC (which people other than me and Phil did. Tisk Tisk.)

Turns out I got an A- in Math 245 instead of the B+ I thought I got. So yeah, I guess Winter term went a little better then. Don't know how that happened.

The Blazers played last night (or was it the night before?) against the Los Angeles Clippers and actually played pretty well. Want to know why? Zach Randolph and Darius Miles weren't the the lineup. The Clippers swept the Blazers this season but I think this was the closest game out of all of them.

I was actually excited to watch them and they competed really well. The young guys played well and it was a really solid effort. Jarrett Jack stood out... along with Travis Outlaw to a degree. They hustled and played good team ball... something you don't see a lot of in the NBA.

Now that I check they played the Lakers tonight and stayed close until late in the fourth quarter. So good for them. They may not be winning but at least they are competing. That is all that I can ask. And why are they competing? I think ZBo and DMiles drag them down. We could trade for some decent talent with them and should during the offeason. Telfair, Jack, Outlaw, Khryapa, Webster, Dixon... they all look good (you too Steve Blake... unfortunately we have three really good PGs). We need to get some veteran leadership via the trade (hopefully the #1 pick too!) and will be better next year!

Don't sell the team Paul... and go Blazers!

This weekend I am going to go home on Saturday and have Sunday with my family for Easter.

Friday night we have a birthday party for the girlfriend of one of my friends, Adam, so I had to stay for that. On Saturday Laurel is going to take me back to Tualatin for the weekend. I was originally going to go with Phil, but they are leaving at like 10am and I don't think I can handle that. Me and Laurel are going to leave at 1pm probably, so I should be awake and alert.

Classes are going fine so far. Next week I'll give you an update on all of them, since I don't think I've even said what I'm taking this term. Oops. Oh well.

Last Saturday I went to the Blazers game against the Jazz with my aunt Lena. She got free tickets in the 200 Level "VIP" section. So I drove over to her house and she took me out to this delicious restaurant near her house that had a really, really good Caesar salad. I forget the name of the place, but maybe she'll reply with it.

After that we drove to the Rose Garden and found a parking spot (free, about 8 blocks away). We walked to the arena, and after having quite the ordeal trying to find our seats, we settled in for some quality NBA action *cough*.

The Blazers ended up losing pretty handily. It was their 11th straight loss. They actually won their next game though so they avoided the longest losing streak in team history. We still had fun, catching up and ripping on the current state of the NBA. We still love our Blazers though, even if they do suck!

On the way back we witnessed a pretty bad car accident so Lena called the police. Their was a women in an SUV and a teenage girl in a Volvo that somehow hit, and the SUV plowed into a new car lot. The front end of it was completely destroyed. It was pretty shocking. I think the woman inside will be okay, she was pretty shocked but she wasn't bleeding or anything. Will probably have a bad back though.

I felt bad for the teenage girl because she was so upset. We comforted her a little and then left, because the police had come and we didn't actually see the accident (it took place right behind us).

So that's that. Woot.
