So, I enjoyed putting together the mix tape last month and I was thinking that it might be fun to do that again in March. It wasn’t the best mix tape I’ve ever made, but sometimes you just have to jump in with both feet and hope for the best. February was a little like that. Between being sick and figuring out where to put prospective graduates students and who was riding with whom where, I did a lot of trying hard and then just hoping for the best. And, now its March. Five days into March. The semester is half over. I only have one more day of classes until it is Spring Break and I’m sitting on the couch with a glass of lemonade and trying to come up with a theme.
I have some potential candidates. The first is Spring. It was a gorgeous today (and nearly 45 degrees out!) and that reminds you that Spring is just around the corner. The equinox approaches. Seed money has been paid to the local farms with community sustained agriculture programs.
The second potential candidate is podcasts. I come from class late afternoon/early evening and I unwind a little usually before I dive into the night’s work while I eat dinner. This unwinding often consists of messing around on the internet or watching the news and then maybe a little TV. It occurred to me this week, though, that I have an inordinate number of podcasts and that maybe instead of watching another rerun of Bones, I should give some of these things a listen. So far I’ve only tried this once but it seemed to work pretty well.
The last potential theme for March is “odd combinations”. The theme for the month from the good people on NaBloPoMo is “strange”, and I like that idea but I feel I need to be a little more focused in my investigation of the strange.
Now that I have written all these things out, I feel like the third option is my favorite (who knows if winter will rear its ugly little head again.) But, I’m open to comments or suggestions.
