With the first real warm snap it seems like spring is in the air… the sidewalks are clear, the winter’s litter accumulating in the gutters, the birds singing and of course, the assignments piling up faster than you can blink. There’s a fine line between being comfortably busy and being panicky busy-having to choose which things are going to be done on time and which things are going to be late.
Beware the ides of March, or so they say. But look on the bright side-it’s almost over.
In the final stretch of any uncomfortable task, it’s easy to get distracted. I mean, come on, all that sunshine on the weekend? How could you not take advantage?
Even an overcast, rainy, March day is still better than an overcast, snowy, freezing February day, right?
And what about the Oscars-did you catch those? What a better way than to spend a Sunday evening, hanging out with friends, watching Peter Jackson carrying away more Orc-like golden statuettes than could fit in the most spacious hobbit hole; while you conscientiously ignored the 5,000 word analysis of late 18th century children’s fiction you owe your lit teacher this Friday…
It’s easy to get side-tracked-so now’s the time to focus the most. Get those assignments done, and keep your eye on the glorious summer of debauchery that awaits you in just a few short weeks!
