The Week Ahead

I’ve been waiting for a vacation since we got back from Christmas Break, snow day notwithstanding.  Spring Break is less than a week away, but school isn’t over yet.  The next week is going to be kind of hectic for me.  I have three homework assignments due, and two exams to take.  I also have to attend two club meetings and probably go to some club events.  I’ve also got to help plan an event for Communications class.
I think Prestige Worldwide has a good idea for helping out the Boys and Girls club.  I believe the easiest course of action is to raise money for them, so they can spend it any way they like.
We’re going to put on a cornhole tournament and charge an entry fee.  Our goal for fundraising is $500.  We’ve taken donations and borrowed supplies to make it come together on the cheap.  We have a small budget, so even if only a few people show up, we shouldn’t lose money. 
Everyone in the group seems enthusiastic about the event.  I think we’ve hit a pretty good Reward to Recreation Ratio (RRR).  Perhaps I should trademark that phrase.  I think it’s a good expression that describes the amount of compensation you get for doing an activity versus the amount of fun you have while doing it.
Speaking of fun, I’ll be aboard a train for a large portion of Spring Break.  Maybe I have a different definition of fun than most people.
