Well, Golly

Its been quite awhile since I've posted. Where do the days go? Especially since I clock daily time on the internet reading other people's blogs.

The past two weeks have swung rapidly between the busy/not-busy* ends of the spectrum. I had spring break in which I was productively lazy. I didn't sleep for ten hours a day (as has happened in the past), but read lots of books and watched lots of movies/tv shows for fun. That meant that my dreams for productivity were not realized, and I spent the last five days sleeping very little and writing very much (ooo, that sounds awkward, hopefully I was more eloquent in my papers).

Between the true breakyness of spring break and when I got educational religion, I went on a retreat with my junior high youth group. It was basically fun, but my girls were crazy. They all brought excessive amounts of candy and caffeine and were hell-bent on sleeping as little as possible. The first night it was after 3:30 when I finally put on the mean-teacher-voice and told them "You have to stop talking on the phone/text-messaging the boys in the next cabin and go to bed!" The second night I slept in the adjoining room and gave them a one o'clock lights out. They were rather tired then, so I think it was upheld, but I fell asleep before getting a chance to check on them.

Amusing incident of the weekend: after being told they should probably only use their cell-phones in an emergency, one girl justified aloud to her friend that a broken hair-straightener was one and she needed to call home. I listened to her explain, twice, to her dad why she was calling, and at one point, she vehemently said "It is the end of the world."

*I accidentally typed "not-busty," and we all know I'll never live on that street. Hehe.
