Something Had to Give

I thought I could make it all work, but then I realized that I was supposed to be exactly THREE places at 7 p.m tonight: my news radio meeting, the Society for Professional Journalists meeting, and the Inquirer taping. 

When it all came down to it, the Inquirer gave. I love those guys, it's loads of fun, but right now, it just doesn't fit. The others are just too crucial. I had a great talk with friend A (all the way in wise-old Boston) yesterday and she made me realize that sometimes it is straight up impossible to do it all, and THAT'S OKAY. Which is something, especially in high school, I'd never realized before. 

Anyway, I had a blast at the IC Super Bowl party in Emerson Suites, watching the game on a huge projector, and consuming free food. I chilled with football buddies K and D, and helped friend L learn to love the game. What an amazing game to watch with a 100 or so people. The cheering, gasping, and clapping never ended. 

I missed watching the game with my family though, because I would have then watched all the hours of the pre-game and consumed ridiculous amounts of nachos. I would have also liked to see my mother react to Bruce Springsteen rock the halftime show. 

There are many things to get done tonight, and I better get started. But I'll keep you all updated, as usual.
