Welp, I'm sitting here at home in good ol' Powell, Ohio and I have a severe case of Senioritis. So I've decided to do a quick blog to avoid doing any homework. Thanks to the event organizing skills of Catherine "Kitty Cat" Spisak, a group of us yellow jackets made the three-hour-one-way trip to Dayton to watch the UConn women destroy Florida State in the Elite Eight. Along with Kitty and I, freshman Megan Frisina, junior Ali Stack and sophomore Monica Gustin made the commute. We had a fun trip down, listening to some of the "freshest" rap music, munching on the two full bags of snacks that we didn't even have to ask Kitty to bring, and listening to a stirring rendition of "The Three Best Friends That Anyone Could Have" from the back seat. The game was fun to watch even though it was a blow out. UConn is a machine! Monica Gustin was on the edge of her seat as she is UConn's number one fan and has been for years. (She showed up to open gym last week in a full UConn outfit, Taurasi shirt included. Embarrassing.)
The ride back was a little less fun. We were all exhausted and a little cranky. After Monica and I had an intense argument over what restaurant we should stop at, we decided to stop at a Steak and Shake for some food. Fights involving food can get heated. Even though we were all pretty tired, Kitty, in usual form, had a lot of energy and made it her goal to keep us entertained. We got a few on-the-spot song parodies and awkward comments out of her before she passed out.
We got back around one in the morning, and even though this little swarm of jackets was exhausted, we had fun time and made some more good memories.

The scoreboard, obviously.
Monica Gustin and Catherine Spisak just livin' the dream!
