" There's magic and beauty in Forster, and weakness, and a little laziness, and some stupidity. He's like us. " ~

I'm never one to go on these, "I hate this year" or "I hate this month" kind of rants. This is the exception. March sucked, as in s-u-c-k-e-d, as in there is no amount of words that are worthy of amounting to its suckage, therefore this sentence will have to do. Ces started a showdown at the beginning of the month, something that our friends and I continued. In the end I think most of us won, but it might have cost a few of us a little more than we expected. They say the good comes with the bad and I think I will go on and blame that for what happened. All I know is that my body and mind took its toll last month and I will try to not let it happen again this semester. After all, it isn't my fault that this is CompExamsHell-(meaning fifty theory essays and thirty novels)-trip taking-two job-while still wanting to have a life-semester.

There's no point in taking it too seriously with everything else going on in the world, right? At least that's how I see it now, which probably explains my whole new carefree attitude starting the day I decided to say goodbye to March and brought on April. Sure, I may return from my trip only to have the follow-up of my CompExamsHell, but how can I not be in a lighter mood on a month that begins its first day making fun of fools? The fact that I woke up with a text message from my brother saying he got arrested after our hanging out (see icon above) was only further proof of this. After the urge of wanting to kill him went away, I smiled and continued that first day, one of many this month that I am sure to be memorable.
