04/26/2006: "I'm alive (kinda)!"

There's irony in the fact that I had said last night that the one thing I wanted was just a nice block of quality, uninterrupted sleep for more than 5-6 hours. I even went to sleep early to make this possible (12:45am is early, by my standards). Yet last night, I simply couldn't get to sleep. Once I did, I didn't stay that way. Finally, I got tired of it and just got up. To say that I'm tired would be a bit of an understatement.

To make it more fun, today's one of my busiest days this week. Everything's scheduled within +/- 5 minutes, and I have to travel between campuses to go between class, an advising appointment, and then a test. After proofreading this, I also realized I can't spell today. Yay!

Otherwise, the week's been alright. Just been busy trying to get my admissions stuff out of the way. No single person knows the entire story, so it's your job to bounce around between people and try to make a complete picture. I'm sure it'll be worth it once all is said and done, but right now, it's hectic.

Hmm.. not much else going on. Classes are coming to an end, so this means lots of tests, finishing up on work, and starting projects I should've done 14 weeks ago. Not too bad, I just want it to all be over with (though, as I've mentioned before, I always find the end of a semester to be bittersweet). I got the DVD of the speech contest yesterday, though I'm not sure if I can subject anyone to it. It's about 2 hours, 45 minutes long, the quality's a bit iffy, and.. well, it's a speech contest. I still haven't watched it for more than a few minutes to confirm it's working, but I think I'm going to avoid watching my own speech. From what little I remember of being on stage and performing it, I did horribly. Would rather not relive the experience.

I should get a copy of my school transcripts and get ready to leave. There's going to be alot of biking today.

Anyway, here's a quick photo from the speech contest. Yes, I have a tie!
