April showers?
Okay. So we had beautiful weather the past two days, and then...this!
To be honest, as much as I love the snow, I am ready for spring, flowers, allergy attacks, you know the drill. I am also ready to be done with this semester. I am tired, harried, and have no idea what they hell I can do to elongate the hands of time. Any ideas? Isn't funny how we all feel this way, and then in May (or whenever we're done) we look back with a shrug and think "hey! I did it!!!!" A triumphant moment indeed. But, I am getting ahead of myself. I think I need a maid. That would definitely help. And a surrogate to help the girls with their homework while I read-that might be nice. And can someone PLEASE tell the cook that if he doesn't have my dinner on the table when I walk in at the end of the day that he will be out of a job? I'm sayin'...you just can find good free help these days!
Apart from all my bellyaching, I really am loving the semester. I always feel just one step behind my colleagues, but most of them are kind enough to 1) be patient with my mad rantings, and 2) reassure me that after this initial semester, I will feel much better about myself as a CCR student. As I write this, I am musing about the books that I would like to read before my official indoctrination, preferably in my favorite tropical location. I have even purchased a book on the ethnography of music that I can't wait to read! I think a trashy, scandalous sex novel that epitomizes "low brow" reading might be in order as well. But for now, I have a few books to read, some articles, and a whopper of a works cited list to generate. At least I know I'm not alone!

Time alone.
-- Need that, for sure.
Tropical paradise.
-- That's only wishful thinking right now, but when I leave this program, I'll probably do just that.
Time to really study. Projects in the mix, as well.
-- Need it.
More time in the day.
-- That's for sure. Pass a bill/law to stop the tinkering.
Maid.
-- Need him/her.
Second me.
-- Could use her right now.
Cook.
-- Need that person too.
Reading list, I definitely have one.
What more could a girl want. Right? You are not alone. End of the semester spring blues, and pinks, and purples, and greens, and yellows....
