March Madness

March has officially started off with madness.  It is a wonder we find time to have remotely any social life, try to be cute, or keep any decent relationships in college.  We are slaves ... and we pay to be slaves, no less!

Let me start this rant by first letting all of you loyal followers know that I bought my last textbook today on Amazon capping off my semester grand total at $750 on books alone.  With what little money I had left over, I went to the Green Market and spent $20 on delicious Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese and came home and made a big batch of homemade mac 'n' cheese for our little Cherry House to eat off of for as long as we possibly can.   Unfortunately, we won't have the opportunity to ever eat it together because we are all so busy with our respective activities (i.e. studying, classes, not having fun, etc.).

But this isn't the worst thing to happen.  The most horrific things have been happening around here lately, or not happening for that matter, and that is that we have been unable to salvage our Cherry House religious ritual, "nap time."  I know what you must be thinking, and we are wondering the same question.  How do we survive?  And the answer to that question is, loyal followers, we are scraping by.

I wonder if they call it March Madness because everything crazy and ridiculous happens in March, or if it is because everything from the last two months catches-up to us in March?  I will speak for all of us and say it is probably the latter, at least I can say that is the truth in my case ...

It just seems that I am finding it more and more difficult to juggle all of my responsibilities as I gain more experience in college.  Is that totally backwards? YES!  They say something about time management being your key to success, and I. clearly. have. none.! HELP!

So, coming up we have this little thing they call 'Spring Break'.  Hopefully we can all take advantage of this time and catch a breather from this March Madness and get caught up.  It is time to get back on track, people.  And if we stray again ...

We should alway remember to do as the the wise words of Ralph Waldo Emerson suggest, "Finish each day and be done with it.  You have done what you could.  Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.  Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense."


Thanks for listening to my rant,
