where's cupid when I need him?

Holy smokes this is a busy month! I've already had a couple of college apps due, and I still have all of the following:

Feb. 9 - Senior Project 20 Hours and Journal due
Feb. 10-12 - Sitka Jazz Fest (Yeah, I'm such a cool 'boner.)
Feb. 14 - Valentine's Day (What will I do for all of my loved ones!?)
Feb. 16 - Senior Project Paper due
Feb. 23-27 - Jazz Fest @ U. of Idaho (Heck yeaaah!)

And March isn't looking too much better... I have more senior project stuff to complete, Basketball Regionals in Juneau, softball starts, trip to Vancouver for AP Human Geography, more essays due... and the list goes on! Yikes.
Why do they do all this to us? I feel like I'm trapped in a sweaty armpit that will never dry! -Ok, well maybe not quite, but still...

Helter skelter (yes, those are actual English words, meaning "however" or nonetheless"), I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one stressed out this month.
I was at the post office the other day mailing a lil' something-something for my lil' someone-someone. After the female counter agent "rung-up" my postage costs, she articulated, "That will be $3.85, please."
So, I dug in my pant pocket, retrieved a ten dollar bill and handed it over. After she placed it in the cash register, she pulled out some bills and coins and said, "$5.10 is your change." I looked at her, a bit confused, thinking, "Hmm... Did she mispeak? Or is she going to hand me more change...?"
She didn't notice her mistake, but instead motioned for me to move aside so that she could help the next custmer! Baffled, I turned away, and began to count my change. $5.10? No. She had given me the correct amount of change, $6.15. I guess she just felt like saying, "Five-ten"?

Anyway, the moral of the story is that its February, and no one should have to work or go to school... Instead, we should all just get free, paid vacations to Disneyland or Europe (with your loved one if you want, since it is the month of V-day). -Choose your own adventure.
