almost 2 am

Yeah, it's almost 2. I gave up laying in bed; sleep just isn't happening right now. I've had this problem every night this week. I go to bed, lay down, and.............nothing happens. This is a new problem for me. I can't remember ever not being able to go to sleep every night for a week. One night, sure, but never this many. So, what's a girl to do?

Update her blog of course!

There's really nothing going on in my world. It's been a fairly easy week, class-wise. It's been hard going from spending everyday of Easter Break with Sean to only seeing him for a few minutes sometimes. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through next year when he's in Asheville. Especially with gas prices going through the roof. I mean seriously. I hope they keep me as an RA. Otherwise, we'll never see each other. There's no way I could afford the drive down there.

Wedding plans are going, well, nowhere. I have lots and lots of ideas running around in my head, but I'm trying to wait until this summer when I have three weeks off to really get my teeth sunk into it. But I've got ideas about what kind of dress I want, and decorations, and colors. But the invite list--that's going to be a nightmare. And I've already started having dreams about it. The other night, I dreamed I got married in the laundry room in my residence hall, and walked down the "aisle" to Hell's Bells. Weird, right? It's no wonder I can't sleep now.

Work is finally starting on the grant project. I'll be calling people to set up phone interviews starting hopefully on Monday. It's so cool to be able to work on this with Drs. Brown, Briggs, and Mason. I'm really starting to look forward to this summer. Not only is this going to look awesome on my resume, but it's also giving me a chance to build relationships with PhDs. Not every college student can say that they've worked that closely with faculty. Especially in Applied Criminology and Emergency Management. They aren't fields that are very heavy on collaborated research. And even if people never even know that I helped, the experience is beneficial. Plus, it will give me a different perspective on issues that I'll deal with in the field later.

There really isn't anything else going on. I have a song from BSU tonight still running through my head, but I'm sure it will go away eventually. I love songs with catchy rhythms, but this one has been playing over and over since we sang it at 7:45. So I'm ready for it to go. It's only got about eight lines in the whole song, so it's getting annoying. And I can only hear the harmony part. It's not very nice anymore.

Well, I guess I'll try this bed thing again. Maybe this time, I'll fall asleep. The worst thing is, I'm on duty this weekend, so my sleep schedule will stay messed up. And I've not even been taking naps! Maybe that's the problem.

Oh, and I've got a new picture of me and Sean that we took at formal, but I'm waiting to post it. Daddy and Granny both took some at Easter, so I was going to post them all at the same time. And maybe one of me and Claire. Delaney didn't want to be in a picture with us.
