(Don’t hate!!)

I watched the game last night at the WaDuke Bar. It was SO packed! They set up several projectors and many many flat screen TVs inside at the actual bar and outside on the patio.

What a way to cap off my senior year. I still can’t believe it actually (finally) happened.

To celebrate, we had a bonfire on Main Quad.

Where we burned benches….don’t ask.

So many people.

I was out there until about 1:15 AM. I felt like an 80 year old as I stood there yawning and thinking of my bed :) .

GO DUKE!

It’s funny…I feel like the whole country was rooting for Butler, but my boyfriend went to Duke, so I was rooting for the Blue Devils. Such a fun game to watch….props to both teams, but a big congrats to the Blue Devils and Coach K!

Everyone is pretty upset at my school…but that’s because we have a lot of students who go to Butler (I live in Indiana). I, however, am proud of both of them. :)
