You people have given me a lot of action the last couple of days! YAY! I am miss popular lately, huh? Or maybe it was ONE certain someone being relentless ;), which I love, by the way. This week has been nuts and I am pretty sure I still have only a tad bit of sanity left.

First, that project was a pain. I probably spent about 60 hours on it in the last two weeks. I just couldn't figure it out for THE longest time. The most amusing thing was that I thought I had the last pieces of the puzzle done about 13 times... it ended up being 29 steps (for those of you out there that don't know, THAT IS A LOT!) ... From Sunday night until last night, I have had an average of four hours of sleep per night. NOT healthy. Then I had a take-home test and it was ridiculous to say the least.

Not only that, I found out that a kid from back home died from a horrible car crash. I have known him since he was five... his little brother is in tenth grade and they lost their father a few years back to cancer something terrible. No tenth grader should go through all of the things this kid has gone through. Anyway, I was on facebook the other night and this mature little kid, Patrick, started talking to me. He calls me my name with an R in front of it. Not like I could gauge it really well, but he talked to me for quite awhile and told me that his car is a "molten piece of scrapmetal". Poor kid. I made sure he knew that I was praying for him, that his brother will never be forgotten, etc. I still can't believe it. I was talking to the boy tonight and said "poor Garrett". And he said "NOT poor Garrett, poor family". I needed to hear that. He's in a better place. Period.

Then I have had grading and proctoring and more grading... and I am feeling like crap because I have to start running and getting back in shape. I need a LOT of help... serious help. And can I please not be so insecure?! blah.
