Paid too much

I was watching ESPN the other day and say that Joe Mauer, a Minnesota Twins professional baseball player, just signed a new 8 year $184 million dollar contract. To me, this is a little ridiculous. I know these professional athletes are entertainers and if you can entertain somebody you can get paid, but $184 million dollars over 8 years. That is almost 2 million dollars a month for eight years. When you break down the numbers and realize exactly how much these athletes are getting paid, it is a little overwhelming. Couldn't some of this money be put to something else. I am a fan of professional athletes and professional sports and in order to keep athletes playing at the highest level, there has to be a big reward. But $184 million dollars over eight years...a little much. Just a thought

Many Things to do...

I have so much work to be done between now and Spring Break. Spring Break is now in site and I want to just hang out until then, but hat will not be the case. I have so many tests and assignments due before then it's crazy. I have a test in almost every class within the next week. I guess that positive side is that I will get to spend the whole spring break hanging out and not have to worry too much about studying or anything. When you look at it I guess it's better to have all these tests before spring break. It's just hard to stay concentrated when spring break is so close. I just have to stay focused for the next week and a half and stay on top of my work. My paper is coming along well for this class and once I am finished with it that will be one thing checked off on my long list of things to do. Spring break... hurry up and get here!
