Goodnight!

I officially give up for the night! I got pretty far on my essay. I just have to finish one body paragraph and the conclusion, and then read through it and fix my errors and clumsier language. I'm pleased, but also beyond tired. Sleep tight!

Tomorrow is going to be a ratchet day for me- glasses, no shower, hair up, no jewelry, minimal makeup, sleeping in a lot. I NEED IT!!!!! I have to get better by Saturday when I go up to Cleveland and visit Andy and do my workshops. If I get as much done as possible now, I can get to bed super early tomorrow night. I'm talking like, 9:00ish. That's be a miracle.

It's kinda sad that I've reached a point in my life where getting to bed early is a dream come true, literally. This must be what getting old feels like.

The math wasn't too painful. Now back to the essay...

I have to step away from my English essay to work on my math and other homework. I really should have done what I could last night, but I was just too lazy... I have to get better about that.

Also, I just changed my domain name because I was beginning to think that the "foodandstuff" was pretty inaccurate since I hardly get to posting recipes. Oops!

Today was a very interesting day. I spent most of the day outside with the majority of the senior class for the "Revolutionary War Living History Day." Basically, all the Honors Government students and anybody who had the Honors Gov. teacher last year gets together and sets up a bunch of stations to teach area fourth and fifth graders about Ohio's only Revolutionary War fort (Fort Laurens). The program is really elaborate and fantastic. This year the teacher got a $50,000 dollar grant from the state of Ohio, and believe me, he put it to use. The program has authentic costumes, equipment, guns, EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN. They have a printing press, a trebuchet, a working cannon, muskets galore, all kinds of authentic tents and furniture, and surveying equipment. They even brought in a horse this year! One cool thing that they're doing with the program, starting this year, is taking it on the road. They'll get to go to Marietta, Ohio, Cincinnati, Columbus (performing in the lawn of the Statehouse, no less!), and possibly Mount Vernon.

My station was "writing letters home to Ma and Pa," which was the easiest station to work because you didn't have to interact with anyone and you pretty much just stand around all day. It was still so interesting seeing everything going on at once.
