March? Why?

Its been pretty crazy this week for me. I don’t about you, but between building a trebuchet, writing a paper after interviewing an immigrant, trying to remember how to dance the triple swing for a ballroom competition, recording a podcast, practicing for solo/ensemble and region jazz festival, and reading books of all sorts, its been a little bit hard to actually do something fun. I also know that there are several other people who are in the same predicament that I am, so there is validity in saying that life gets busy. It seems like every year, March is the busiest time. It’s funny because with all this school stuff going on, I didn’t really have time for a job, so I stopped looking for one. A few days after I stopped looking, what happened? OfficeMax called me up for an interview. I think Murphy was having some fun with this one. It really crazy that when I need a job, (because I have time for one) I can’t find one, but when I don’t have time for one, they are fine to call me up. But on the good side, I may have a job.

So as you can see, I’m on a rant of being busy. The thing is, when you look at the March calendar for school, its one of the fuller ones. My question is: Why March? First of all, many of the “interschool Fine Arts competitions” begin. Just in March we have region solo/ensemble for choir and band, region jazz band, and region drama. State festivals come a little later. Another contributor is the fact that third term ends. With the end of any term comes a ton of schoolwork. But I don’t think that school is the only thing that makes March busy. March is when spring starts to come. Although it’s not officially spring, it starts to get warmer, and now we even have daylight savings time. (March 11, this next Sunday, don’t forget) Warm weather makes anyone want to move around and do something. So yeah, March is busy, I've ranted, and I'm over it. Bye.
