March Madness

March Madness is the time of the year when a whole crap load of university basketball teams (64 to be exact, although there was talk of expanding it to the 90s) play in a gigantic tournament to see who is the top college team. It's pretty big in the States, and whoever else that decides to follow it. It must be insane for the people that organize this event.

My version of March Madness comes in the form of school. I'm not big into basketball, even though it was invented by a Canadian. I have a paper/exam every week this month and even into the first week of April. The first one is due tomorrow, and I finished that a couple hours ago. Yay! Next week, I have to write a book review on The Pursuit of Holiness; it will probably be the most intense book review I've done this year because there is an actual required structure for this paper. The week after next, I think I have a small reading response paper and then a unit exam. The last week of March is when my big Theology term paper is due. I should probably get started on that in the next day or two. Then to cap it all off, my Psych term paper is due the first week of April.

On top of everything, I am still looking into different churches to do my practicum at next year. I think it will definitely be an interesting experience. It's going to be the first official time that I'm put at a church to "work". I don't have a church yet; but the thought of it kind of makes me nervous. I probably shouldn't, but it's the first time I'm seeing serving the church as the "work" type. I've served all my life, because I wanted to do it for fun. I thought it was good to help and always give back what the community has given to me. Serving was also an excuse for me to get to hang out and grow with a bunch of my friends. It won't be entirely different in terms of practicality for my practicum. And even if I do my best to see it the same way, I know that in the back of my head, it's going to be different. So, as much as I look forward to it, it's going to be interesting to say the least. I know it will be fun though, when it's all said and done.

I should have brought down my wired mouse!
