Silly girl, did you forget to sleep last night?

Top three things I DO NOT want to do:

1. Physical activity of any kind (this includes standing, walking, and other seemingly effortless acts)

2. Homework

3. Think

Unfortunately, all three of these things are being forced upon me today.

This whole weekend was a complete blur to me. It feels like it was Friday five minutes ago… I’m so disoriented and out of it. So, allow me to recap my weekend for you all.

Friday: Classes during the day and DANCE PARTY at night! I didn’t really want to go, but my roommate really did want me to go… and she won me over. So there I was, at a dance, in the dark, with all kinds of crazy gangsta music playing, and some weirdo comes up and starts trying to grind with me. I don’t know that I’ve even been in that much shock before. My mouth actually dropped open (and stayed open for a very long time). I tried to keep dancing (in my completely conservative way), in an attempt to not make the situation more awkward than it already was, but I kept laughing. Finally he left to go be nasty with some other girl. All of this went down in about one minute. Weirdest. Experience. Ever. And I don’t think I want to repeat it ever again. Good story. My Friday night continued when I got back to my room pretty freaking late, and I still had to finish decorating my team shirt for Relay for Life. Me+fabric paint+1 in the morning=disaster. I still have teal paint under my fingernails.

Saturday: My non-stop action weekend continued at 8:30 on Saturday when I had to get up and get ready for my Driver’s License test. I PASSED! And I’m convinced it’s because I found a lucky penny, heads up, in the parking lot right before I got in the car to parallel park. Yes, folks, I have my damn license. So stop harassing me about it. Lol. Saturday blazed on when I got back from my DL test and lunch with my mom. I had around 30 minutes to get in my room, pack for Relay, and walk (to the stupid other side of campus) to the gym to help set up (I was on the committee).

Set-up really wasn’t bad at all. And Relay was really fun. Throughout the whole 12 hours, I walked the track, and participated in a bunch of group games and events, like sharks and minnows (I miss you, elementary school gym class), tug-of-war (unfortunately, zero arm strength really isn’t of much help), relay races, Twister, and the Luminaria Ceremony. My roommate and I actually ran the Luminaria. It went well, minus the fact that when my roommate announced the “moment of silence,” I completely just skipped the moment, and continued reading my script. Ooops. The whole night was going pretty well, as in, I was able to keep my eyes open. That is, it was going well until POWER HOUR. Every minute the song being played changes, and so does the direction you are walking on the track. You cannot even begin to understand how much torture that is when you are half-dead. I mean, the whole thing was striking me as really freaking funny, because people were trying to keep their energy up by dancing, and at that point in the night, everything was funny to me. I would start laughing and be completely unable to stop.

After the event was over (it went from 6 PM to 6 AM) I stayed to help clean up. I felt sort of bad, because I didn’t really do all that much to help, but that wasn’t by choice. I felt like I might throw up if I moved too much. Thank Esther Ludwig (God of all college students) that I had someone to drive me back to my dorm. If not, I may never have made it back.

Sunday: I got back to my room at 6:30, and went straight to bed. I vaguely remember violently throwing all of my crap off of my bed and brushing my teeth. I set my alarm for 3, but I ended up waking up at 1. So here I am now, sitting, because that’s about all I can do, due to extreme sore/stiff-ness. I’m doing my best to not complain every waking moment, because this pain is all for a good cause. We raised $12,000 dollars for the American Cancer Society. And that is worth feeling kinda crappy for a day or two. Sadly, I now have a butt-load of work to do and no will to do it. I tried to so my Spanish homework but about 10 minutes in, I found myself staring at my laptop keyboard in a complete daze. I think a nap is in order.

Before I go… pictures!

Haha, I love the last one. Sometimes, it’s just so true.
