When I started this semester, single, it was with every intention to stay that way. Starting out my third year of college with 3 jobs and a full upperclass courseload, it was like the proverbial glass jar filled with rocks. The rocks were classes - the jar looked full, but there was plenty of room for some smaller pebbles.....i.e., the CA position. So the jar looks really full from the outside, but there's still room in the cracks. Along comes the smaller pebbles, UCTV, and the remainder of the obvious space taken up with finishing my job at Lake Compounce for the year. But, as full as the jar looks, there's always room for your friends and family....they're like the sand that fills even the smallest cracks. So my jar's pretty heavy, it seems pretty darn full, and I did not see anything smaller than sand that would possibly fill any more space.

Question is, is there more room? Do I want there to be more room? Is it worth it to have more room? Gotta admit, for a jar as full as mine, I still seem to find plenty of time to relax and have 'me time'. So there could be more room in there....I guess there's air in the jar, or water or something. One thing's for sure though - whoever made that jar, probably didn't intend for it to be that filled, or that heavy.

So to get away from the cryptic jar analogy, it comes down to this. Do I finish the semester the way I intended to, or is it worth it to find a little more room?

Just musings.
