SUNDAY: Sunday involved doing a lot of research. On Sunday I realized that I'd hardly done any work for a film paper which had a rough draft due Tuesday. This worried me. And so I got to work reading and writing about various films. When it comes to writing papers I can be very indecisive. I had my original claim for this paper two weeks prior to this, and now three claims later I've written a paper. Though, not yet.
MONDAY: Today was the day that I finished the paper. I actually didn't finish very much of it on Sunday. My original goal for Sunday was to write three pages, which was half the length of the paper, but that quickly changed to two pages. When Tuesday finally came I had five and a half more pages to write. I'm such a good worker. Despite my procrastination I was still able to finish my rough draft. So all's well that ends well.
TUESDAY: Tuesday I went through the canyon with a couple of friends to get some supplies for a project that we had to do. It was pretty fun. Funny story though; apparently you are not allowed to take pictures inside of a Trader Joes. So appreciate this one, because right after it was taken I was told to put my camera away, which is odd considering the fact that I shot a whole video at a Ralphs mere weeks before while working on another project. But at least I still got the picture.
WEDNESDAY: I had a presentation with my Social Action and Justice class, which was in front of about 180 people. Luckily, my group was chosen to run the outside booth, which meant that I never had to personally be in front of all of those people. I stood outside with fair trade chocolate the entire time and told people all of the people that asked about where and how to buy fair trade products, which was about three. In any case, that class is now over, which is extremely nice. One down, three to go.
THURSDAY: Nothing very significant happened on Thursday except for finding out that my philosophy class is not having a final. Very amazing news. It made me very happy. Thursday night I played pool with a friend for a long time. Usually I'm not very good at pool, but I got lucky a whole lot of times, so it was pretty fun. Not that losing isn't fun... oh wait... it isn't. But the company can be fun no matter what.
FRIDAY: Friday was the beginning day of the 24 hour Relay For Life. It was a 24 hour relay in which my team of 13 people always had to have someone walking around the track for 24 hours. It was actually really fun. The first seven hours, which was the Friday portion of the event, were spent mainly having simple fun. Played some basketball, walked a few laps, and the best part... played Chutes and Ladders. It was amazing. I ended up getting last. I wanted to be an encourager. I also realized how great my vest is for holding energy drinks. No, I did not drink them all, but I was up all night.
SATURDAY: Now is when things got interesting. So I had two shifts of walking for the relay. My first shift was at 2 AM, my second shift was at 6 AM. While walking my first shift I thought to myself, "I could either stop after my shift and sleep, or I could just keep walking until my next shift at 6." This thought led to another thought, "If I walk that long, maybe I could walk a marathon." And that's just what I did. I walked a full 105 laps around track. I even ran the last mile. It was quite the thrill, and I will now always be able to say that I went a full 26.25 miles at one time. 7 hours and 44 minutes. But now the sun has set on this fine week. Here's to the future that seems like it will never come.
