Posts like this always remind me of the old Monster . com commercial where the kid says "I wanna claw my way to middle management!". I always tell myself that when I get my schedule, it keeps me humble!! Unless and until I do a Final Four and you all tune in and heckle me (I sense Jurrasic salivating now!) at that point I will be "Big Time" and scorn all of the 'Little People"
This is not to say anything bad about your schedule. I think it is exciting when you see your schedule increase in quality (and hopefully quantity). Those of us who have done Varsity games can remember our "first". It is such a highlight to circle on your calendar, you make sure that your shirt is extra bright, the shoes are looking good, possibly take the slacks to the dry cleaner!! Don't just enjoy the game my friend, revel in it and in the anticipation as the date gets closer. Its those types of feelings that make officiating fun, and too often we get "used to it" and forget the joy we once knew.
OK, so I ordered an extra glass of Melancholy tonite!!
CONGRATS!!!!!
