My brain is fried. I've been thinking a lot in the past few days. Like trying to wrap my head around tough things. Finals week and ____ make me really tired.

• Finals: three down, one to go. I still have something to do for statistics.
• I think I like quantitative research, but I need to do it in order for it to be fun.
• Sometimes I wonder if I just like making things difficult for myself because I like a challenge.
• While Diaryland and Flickr were down recently I realize how much I miss my blog (both reading past entries and adding new ones) and how much perusing pictures on Flickr is a new way for me to waste time.
• My dinner was unsatisfying.
• I haven't slept more than a few minutes in over 31 hours.
• I thought I'd get into March Madness this year because UCLA got a NCAA tournament berth. I even filled out the brackets and joined the office pool. I picked Syracuse and Illinois for the final. Damn upsets.
• My clever name for the office pool: Cinderella at the Big Dance.
• I was supposed to go to a friend's birthday party tonight. I talked about it yesterday with Catr�n, another friend in the school of ed. I called him earlier... he isn't going. A family emergency came up. His grandfather passed away and he was driving through the Grape Vine on his way home to the Central Valley. I met Catr�n last fall and in these past few months we've been getting to know him each other. Our long dinner conversation yesterday helped me figure some things out, our conversations are usually like that. I know he's going through a tough time right now with this... it was odd hearing him tell me over the phone. What do you say to that? Lo siento? I told Catr�n I'd keep his abuelito and his family in my prayers.
• Lalo Guerrero's death this past week reminded me of how much I liked his songs. Ome had a CD of his music and when we lived in 676 Hedrick Hall (1999-2000 school year), she and I used to play "Marijuana Boogie" loud in our dorm. It was fun, and we wanted to throw people off. Gracias por la m�sica Don Guerrero.
• The rain returned. What the hell? I didn't sign up for this.

Cuidanse.
