Brain-Fried

This has been the first day in a while that from the moment I woke up (and put on my make up..I say a little...oh, never mind..) til the time I go to bed I have been doing nothing but schoolwork. We had class all morning and then after lunch our Hum 201 class presented all of our free travel presentations. It took over 3 hours. Then it was supper time. Then, I came up to the computer lab and finished my powerpoint presentation for World Christian. We are fixing to work on free travel plans. I have literally been staring at some kind of screen since 9:00 a.m.!

I am about to go crazy-- last night, Danielle and I took about 4 hours to finish our free travel presentation. By midnight, I was going absolutely bonkers. People were laughing at how delirious I, and other people in the class, were after hours of computer-stare time. My colorful scarf went from my neck at the beginning of the project, to wrapped around my head in anguish, to an African headdress after I had messed up my hair after hours of running my hands through it in despair. We finished that though and the presentation went well so that's one less thing on my mind. My World Christian powerpoint isn't due until April 11th, but for some reason I got on this non-procrastination kick and finished it today. :-) Go me!

One of our boys, Kyle was hospitalized last night and has been there all morning. He's going to be fine, but he is having blockage in his intestines and has been in pain. Just keep him in your prayers. By the end of the trip, I have not been the only medical problem. Amy hurt her leg and had to go the emergency room and Kyle has now had his cultural experience.

This entry was really boring and for that I am sorry. My day has, in fact, been one to yawn at. That's how the end usually goes though.

I hope you are all doing well-- I am getting to that point where I miss you all a whole lot! Everyone has already started that "list of things I'm going to do when I get home" and I am beginning mine. Go to Sonic for a vanilla Dr. Pepper, rent all the chic flicks I missed, watch a Law and Order: SVU marathon, sprawl out in my own bed with my fluffy pillow and comforter; play hoops at the community center and go walking with Mom, discussing the 4th "Twilight" book with Dad when that comes out, hang out with my cool brothers and their gfs, going out to eat with Mimi and Papa and making Papa do his famous shaking up and down laugh, hanging out by the lake with Mema and Papa this summer...the list goes on.

Love ya'll-- not too much longer!!

Ashty,

April Fool! What an elaborate plot. Don't worry about the crying. It's genetic, and "your" stress response. I get ulcers-- you cry. It's simple as that. You really can't change how you respond to stress much. Things here are boring in comparison to your adventures. But, that's life. Miss YA! Do I really laugh up and down? Love, Paw-Paw :-)

Hi Beautiful One - Just for the record: none of your entries are boring! I hope you're going to keep up some sort of blog when you free travel & then when you get back home! Exactly when do you leave Greece & where & with whom will you go? Things are going fine here. I started back my tutoring today. Mr. Chen has been in China for a couple of months. We've had to change our time to one afternoon a week when Dana can come & keep Dakota. (We call her Koty sometimes :) ) I hope your remaining studies go well. We're missing you here a lot, too! Love, Mimi
