Funny story about last night. I am fast asleep in my room. My roommate is awake on her phone. All of a sudden I hear a noise that sounds like a building collapsing. I jump and ask my conscious roommate what it was. Any guesses?

The garbage trucks.

Any guesses on what time it was?

One AM.

What the crap? When, in the entire history of the world, has the garbage man come at 1 in the morning? Who does that?

Of course our windows are right above the dumpsters. How ridiculous. And of course it takes them forever to dump an entire dorm's worth of garbage. Did I mention this is 1 AM? In the middle of the week.

My dorm has signs posted everywhere warning us the electricity will be turned off tomorrow between 6:30 and 10:30 AM. Who cares? I promise. Nobody will be awake.

So it's labor day weekend. Awesome keg parties!

Just kidding.

But, I do have my entire dorm room to myself. It's pretty crazy. Basically, my entire campus went home this weekend. Not I. I am spending tonight watching Disney Channel and just relaxing after a crazy week. (you should know I paused here to take a quiz on Moodle that I almost forgot about) Tomorrow is homework day, despite misleading advice from a well-meaning junior. Tomorrow night I'm going to watch the game with my BCM peeps. Sunday is church and then Paw-Paw Don's for lunch and laundry. Both free. Sunday night we will have a lock-in at the BCM for high school seniors. Monday is another relaxing day, probably after not much sleep. Then back to the daily grind.

Amazing that whole paragraph is fitting into one weekend. My room is such a mess. It looks nothing like the picture at the bottom of this page. It's the thought that counts right? Maybe I'll insert a cleaning spree somewhere in that paragraph.

tips for 2010:
Schedule a light Friday. You'll thank me later.
Take advantage of quiet nights alone. They don't come too often.
Don't think you're a loser for sitting home one night on the weekend.
Go to bed early when you get the chance.
