UNC vs. Dook!! I woke up late this afternoon, showered, ate lunch, then did some research and messed around on the computer for a while. I ate dinner at 18:00 with Gregg, Kate, and her friend Jessie from home. I read and dozed for a while before the big game that started near 2 a.m. for me. Gregg had already gone to sleep next door, so out of courtesy I typed to my family on Skype while they spoke to me and I listened to the game through headphones. And what a game it was!! I was on tenterhooks for most of it; especially the final minute after an 8-point lead was abruptly reduced to only 3. AND THEN WE WON!!! GO UNC!!
Oh, it was beautiful! I was dancing in my chair and then in my room around 4:15 in the morning. If it wasn’t so late, I probably would have screamed for joy. How I wish I could have been in Chapel Hill that night. I’m glad Sachi decided to stay on campus instead of go home for the weekend. You just can’t miss this game, even if you’re not a basketball fan. It’s arguably the biggest rivalry in American college basketball (do other countries have an equivalent?) and the game the whole nation tunes in for. Just wait for the headlines tomorrow. Oh, it was brilliant. Cheers!
