countdown to may 16.
24 days. 4 exams, 3 quizzes, 2 papers, 1 research proposal...
...and 1 extremely checked out student.
life is waiting for me in kansas city. it's like christmas is right around the corner - on may 16th i get to unwrap a whole new phase of my life - only in order to make it to christmas i have to first accomplish a bunch of tasks in order to make it home...actually that sounds more like the Wizard of Oz. only instead of bringing back the broom of the wicked witch of the west, this metaphorical Dorothy has been forced to complete a handful of assignments that, while not life-threatening, are equally as obnoxious as that stupid witch's cackle.
when i have the "what i'm doing after college" conversation with people i typically tell them all about how thrilled i am to work at hillcrest, move into an apartment in kc, live in the same city as my girlfriend, etc, but eventually they get to the "is it going to be sad leaving manhattan" question. i usually answer by telling them the following...
every remotely nice day there are two major events occurring on my street in manhattan. first, the house across the street from mine hosts an event in their front lawn that i like to call "let's drink natural light and blare this year's country stampede artists on our truck stereos". second, our neighbors to the west don their cowboy hats and boots and roll out a shopping cart with horns on it. they then spend the next two hours lassoing that shopping cart in their driveway.
i can't get to kansas city fast enough.

kc sports: what a thrilling topic.
one of the great things about rooting for sucky teams is that you get used to disappointment and your heart isn't broken as often as it might be if you had some sort of expectation. so when the chiefs pull what they did on sunday it's pretty easy to shrug your shoulders and think "hey. draft pick sizzler."
one of the crappy things about rooting for sucky teams is that sometimes they don't have playoff success for decades, and while some teams are acquiring c.c. sabathia and a.j. burnett simultaneously, i get to celebrate the signing of kyle farnsworth to a two-year deal.
