This week has zapped me, which is sad for two reasons:
1) Monday was Labor Day, which meant no classes.
2) it's still only Thursday night.
So what has happened in these last 3 days that has been so exhausting? I'll tell you.
Tuesday was a full day of Practicum, including a group assignment to begin working on our Memorandum of Understanding. A full day from 9 to 5. Had to finish purchasing Baby Nilah's birthday present so that I can attempt to get that parcel to Bangalore as close as possible to her actual birthday. Then Nathanial invited me to the Saucer for Trivia, and because I had ditched a few weeks ago, I wanted to go. Went for an hour and had to come home to study.
Wednesday was a full day of classes to make up for missing Monday. Decision Analysis in the morning, a lunch with some of the staff from the Clinton Foundation, and Leadership in the afternoon which included a group project as well. Another 9 to 5 day. Followed by the Republican debate, which Angela and I decided to turn into a drinking game. Who knew they would say "Reagan" so many times? 41 mentions and a bottle of coconut rum later, we were much wiser.
Today [Thursday] was a full-day workshop on conflict mediation. It was interesting stuff, but there was too much sitting around and not enough activities - particularly after lunch. At one point I looked around the room and saw at least 12 people struggling to keep their eyes open. After that from 9 to 5.15, it was over to Sturgis to hear Robert Fogarty of evacuteer and dear world speak. From there it was on to Gusano's to catch the first half of the Packers / Saints NFL Opener before heading home to sort out my life. An hour later, I have finally finished going through my emails and figuring out my schedule for the upcoming weeks - our class schedule is going to be messed up for a few more weeks as a repercussion of Labor Day and this workshop.
And tomorrow we have the workshop again from 9 to 12.30 followed by a Practicum group meeting to discuss our project. After that I have to purchase a grill for my house / our class' Saturday tailgate for the Razorback game before going to visit Mrs Hughes and then eventually on to the Class 6 v Class 7 kickball game. Which is at 5. And then a full night of reading for next week.
But for now it's off to finish learning all about the Delta Garden Study.
I'm still [possibly stupidly] hoping for 7 hours of sleep tonight.
Wish me luck.
Woo pig.
