March Madness
***My grandma had her final chemotherapy treatment earlier this week; the tumor is gone from the soft tissue, but there remains a small tumor on her bone. She'll begin a radiation regimen in a little over a month (five days a week for five weeks), and if all goes well with that, she'll be in remission. She's not out of the woods just yet, but I feel like we can see the finish line; it's a good feeling.
***I just can't seem to get into the NCAA tournament this year. Maybe it's the fact that my alma mater isn't playing (in the men's or women's tourney), maybe it's the fact that my job hasn't afforded me much time to follow the sport. I didn't fill out a bracket (marking the first time in about six or so years), though I have been watching whatever games I can while not at work. It just feels weird.
***I'm going to hold off on my job search until June; if Ebonee does in fact leave in June to return to grad school then, I'm going to apply for her job. It's at least $12,000 a year more than I'm making now, and I really think it's something I can manage. The only thing that bothers me about working at HU is Ebonee, so with her gone, I should be fine again.
***That said, I noticed yesterday where ODU is seeking applicants to be the radio voice of the football team next season. I know I'd be a longshot, since I've never broadcast football before (and ODU didn't pick me for the basketball broadcasts), but I still feel like I should go for it. One of those things where I might kick myself if I don't, you know?
