blah

This week starts the 3 presentations in a week phase of the school year, and I have no motivation. 2 are almost done (I hope) and one is barely started.

My heart is broken. The MSU-UNC game totally demoralized me. After a decent looking first half, the Tarheels' dirty feet trampled all over the Spartans. I mean, I knew there was a good chance they'd lose, but at the end, there was no hope, and UNC just took out all its starters, and it felt like a total loss of dignity. At least I can say my championship picks were right, even though they weren't all that bold. At least I don't absolutely have to watch the championship tomorrow.

Adding to the blah...some "friends" of mine said these business school guys I'd met once had a friend they thought was perfect for me. They'd met the guy and described him as "so nice", so I was at least prepared for unattractiveness. They wanted me to go to this BBQ with them all, so I could meet him. Weird, random, frightening, but I was too curious to say no. As I should have known, the only thing that made us perfect for each other was that he was Indian. I'm half Indian, I have nothing against Indians, but that just struck me as a "stick to your own kind" sort of gesture. I didn't see anything else we had in common. Anyone who knows me at all should realize that Indianness is not going to be a common bond...I know many Anglos who are more Indian at heart than I am. I hate to be that person, who's all sensitive about race... I'm sure it wasn't meant to be offensive... but it makes me feel bad anyway. Lesson: don't let people who aren't really your friends fix you up. Or maybe don't let people fix you up in general.
