So Tired

Have you ever traveled 24 hours on a mini bus in one weekend? I wouldn't recommend it. Eagle Lake came rolling into Oklahoma City for the weekend with me and 7 other lucky staff for a youth weekend with a church that comes to camp every summer. Friday night was a "purity" night, and was filled with akward* but good conversation. Saturday we did an Eagle Lake preview day, which we call an extended version. I did a pretty cool workshop about being a Christian in our American culture. It was a much better experience than last weekend when I did a workshop for 8-10 year olds and when they dismissed the kids I had a good 30 hyper children running straight at me when everyone else had like 10. You can guess how that workshop went. I met a really cool kid this weekend that I'm hoping to keep in touch with. I taught her how to play the bongos. By the way, playing the bongos-while cool-really hurts your hands. I played on Saturday and still today when I mindlessly tap my hands on something it hurts real bad. Perhaps there is a technique I am unaware of to prevent this pain. If anyone out there knows the answer, please share. I worked today to cover for our office manager so she could actually have a day off for once, but tomorrow I am not working. Yes. Jason is going out of town this weekend and if you're keeping track, that makes 3 weekends in a row that we haven't gotten to be together. Boo. So, we're both taking the day off tomorrow and I am quite pleased.
Jason got his LSAT scores back this weekend. While they weren't quite as high as he had hoped they would be, they're still well above average and should get him into some of the schools he was hoping for. He decided, kind of on a whim, to go ahead and apply to 4 schools he likes that are still accepting applications for the fall of 2006. The original plan was fall 2007. I like this new plan and I hope it works out. Now that he's positive this is what he wants to do it will be great if he can just get to it. The schools he applied to are on the East Coast and the West Coast - no St. Louis. So, looks like we'll be living on a coast. While I never imagined this for myself, I'm pretty excited about it. One of the schools is in Seattle and there's a seminary there that I would LOVE to attend because of their focus on the arts and literature and culture. We'll see. Guess that's all for now.

*akward due to the fact that I had to explain what masturbation and what an orgasm is. Need I say more?
