Weekender

So tonight was the Weekender, the annual trek of USC folks up to Northern California to watch our Trojans take on either the Stanford Trees or the California Bears (Side note: who gave them the right to go by the nickname California? Like they're the only university in the state? I think there are hundreds of other colleges and universities that would like nothing more than for Berkeley to start being called Berkeley. Because really, that's their name.)

We've now successfully trounced Cal every year I've been at USC, save for the pretty awesome game my first year in which we lost in triple overtime. That was a crazy good game. Like the LSU-Kentucky game this year, but way more stressful because my team was playing.

It was pouring down rain in Berkeley tonight though. And I know that there are going to be several of my friends who come home tomorrow and develop colds. Because they spent all day wandering about San Francisco in the rain and then several hours sitting in the rain during the game. Having been fighting off what appears to be a nasty sinus infection for the last week myself...I'd like to stay as far away from the sickies as possible. So I'm going to travel across the country!

Haha...not really. I'm travelling for more interviews. I have to say, when I finally do sign an offer, my first purchase is going to be a half-day spa treatment for myself. Because really...after all of this, I deserve a massage. That is, of course, assuming that Matt doesn't have me on the way to the travel agent's office before the ink is dry.
