three hours on the phone will do it

So that's about all I did yesterday that was really truly productive (besides the 6 hours I spent reading)--spent 3 hours on the phone with Dell computers trying to get my CD/DVD RW drive back up. It's been "gone" for like a month and a half, so it's good to have it back!

What I've Learned in the Past Three Days:


1. Grass can be icy and dangerous. While playing some frisbee at the ledge on Sunday I slipped and fell TWO TIMES! Whoda thunk you can get grass stains in the winter?!

2. Sleep is a valuable, valuable thing. I've always prided myself on not needing much sleep. So I average about anywhere from 5.5 to 6.5 hours per night. And until Saturday night that was true. Saturday night, though, I made the big mistake (and we have a video to PROVE that was a mistake...YIKES--I don't know if I even like myself when I'm up that late!! haha) of staying up until 4:30. I left Kat and Karen's at 3:30 or so and then came home and went on msn. MAN I'm an idiot! hahahaha...and then I got up and went to church the next morning. Sunday night I could hardly function at 8:30 at night. Since then I've been getting anywhere from eight to ten hours of sleep per night. It is amazing how on top of things I feel! Maybe there is something to be said for this whole sleep thing!

So I met with my prof yesterday (some break this is--lol) to discuss deep philosophical issues that I could talk about in my paper. I went to him with some ideas and I put them out there at the beginning of our meeting and he talked about what I was going to write about for about 15-20 minutes and I made some notes, but the notes I made are chicken-scratch--like I was moving the pen merely to keep myself from falling asleep. I'm afraid there wasn't much of a dialogue, HENCE my desire to get more sleep!

Looking Forward to:
1. Young Adults at Hillsdale tonight, and perhaps some "Extreme Birthday Caking" afterwards(???) hahah...see www.extremeironing.com ...steve and robbie, you're nuts!

2. My eye appointment tomorrow (yes, on my birthday :P), but I'm getting new contacts finally! This is about month 4 for my one-month disposables! Blood-shot eyes and me? We tight :P

Well I'm going to go read (the "story" of my life...hahaha...ha..h...never mind)...AND play a cd on my computer...just because I can now! :)
