WAG - Quick Update While On the Run
Written in 5 minutes or less, or your money back
Lots done, a bit more to do, but the end is is sight.
Today, for the first time in college, I asked for an extension on a paper.
DON'T fret Mom. A few hours later, also for the first time in college, I retracted my request for an extension on paper.
A last minute burst of inspiration helped me fill the cracks. I also was over the minimum word count by 300. It also didn't hurt that I believe I aced my Advertising exam. Typically I pause on a question every 10 questions, but this time the average was every 20.
I think that's a good sign.
Throw in a handful of powernaps (I'm still recovering a bit from getting up so early) and I'm almost back on trap.
In retrospect it was a good thing I didn't see the Return of the King early this morning. I definately needed those extra 3 hours. Those of you who read this, please be kind and refrain from telling me how cool it is.
The Boone County Foster Family Christmas Party was a good use of my time (and the extra hour my ride was late gave me time to study more for my finals). I wasn't told until yesterday that my services as balloon-animal maker would be used by around 150 kids (of about 300 present).
It was a blast, even though my eardrums were sore (it was a smaller balloon size than I was used to). I did make a lot of kids smile, though. I also got kudos from lots of my girlfriend's family (did I mention Jessie's mom was the one running this event? I should have).
The best compliment I got was a second hand reference from Jessie.
She told me she heard people say, "The Balloon Man was cool."
Oh yeah. Props for the Balloon Man.
Pardon me, but the Balloon man needs to run to church. And work on a final project, and keep studying, and a staff party...but one thing at a time.
Keep on truckin' everyone.
