Life update

So I haven't posted in a while so I figured I'd actually get off my butt and update.
My life for the past three days:
Friday: School (nuf said). Stayed after for debate to prepare for Regions, including trying to convince Kami that her fears were unfounded (which was proven Saturday) and that Alisha and I really didn't need to practice PF, despite having stolen cases from Brian and Clark that day, and being clueless as to the topic. We succeeded in wrangling our way out of it for the most part, and practice concluded. Apparently it was at this point that my body decided that if it had anything to say on the matter, I would end up actually sleeping that night. In a brilliant effort, I became violently ill upon arriving home, promptly went to bed, and slept until about 1:00 AM. After scrounging some food, I fell asleep again. It truly is a mark of how messed up my sleep schedule has become, as such is not out of the ordinary.

Saturday: Woke up at 6:30 (which is actually sleeping in for a tournament Saturday) to get ready for Regions @ PG. Ended up getting there late, and still ended up waiting around for postings. Upon my arrival I discovered that Addison had been roped into judging, and was taking full advantage of the casual nature of judge attire. The tournament proceeded, though there seemed to be a lot of problems with judging as far as biases. Considering only 4 schools were involved, and only 3 really brought any judges or competitors, it was to be expected. I ended up with Addison as my judge in one of my rounds. Considering some of the devices in my speech, there was a time in there that I actually though he was going to kill me (I pretend to forget part of my speech to prove a point, and he was shooting daggers at me for it). Fortunately no harm was done and my speech was approved of. At one point during the rounds I managed to get a hold of Shambray’s cell number, and, knowing that she was planning on being in town, called her to beg her to come judge for us. Though I did manage to get a hold of her, it was only to learn that she had been kidnaped to a California beach somewhere. Despite her desperate desire to come to freezing Utah to judge a debate tournament, she was being held captive by a horde of devilishly good looking male swimsuit models, who were blackmailing her into getting a tan, while they force-fed her fruit and chocolate. I personally feel lucky that such a horrible thing has never happened to me.
At about that same time I was informed that Kami’s job was in fact on the line, and that our performance at Regions was to be the determining factor in whether she was to be rehired next year. As such, the entire team was a bit on edge when the awards were announced. We needn’t have worried. Lone Peak swept the whole competition, with a first place in all but two events. Every captain but two managed to get first place in their events, and the PF worry was proved null as each of our 4 teams placed in the top five, including Alisha and I^^;
After the tourney I had planned to go visit Richard, but could not find his house for the life of me (I blame Richard for this of course). Resigning myself to spending the rest of my life directionless, I drove to Addison’s house to return his stopwatch, only to see Loni and Justin at his house ( = <3). At that, I drove home, and once again collapsed

Sunday: My entire family work up late for church, meaning that I ended up driving my siblings to church. After dropping them off I headed to Warners for Aubrey’s brother’s homecoming. I ended up spending most of the day fooling around with Hadley, Mike and Aubrey, which was a well needed break.

Which leaves Monday!
So it turns out that my cold from Saturday came back with a vengeance. Considering that there wasn’t really anything important that needed to be done today in school, I decided to stay come and placate the beast. I attempted doing some packets for graduation, but nothing much came of it, and I spent most of the day in bed. On the plus side I should be returning to school tomorrow though.
