just call me "grandma"

...actually, call me something older than "grandma" because even my own grandmother goes to bed later than me....

it's 9:30pm and I'm ready for bed.
aka I'm in my PJs, my face is washed, teeth are brushed and I'm about to snuggle in for a couple chapters of my book (Pierced by a Sword...highly recommend it)

Why you ask? Am I not a 20something who should be out with friends and living it up every night of the week?
Why yes, yes I am. And that's the problem.

This weekend was a ball of insanity.
Fun insanity, but insanity nonetheless.

Friday was nothing but an ordinary workday, and I went to a local brewery with my roommate KJ. It was really nice to spend some time just the two of us out of the house.

Saturday was the beginning of the insanity.
Let me walk you through it.
There was a Salesian workshop for student leaders at Newman that all of the staff was invited to attend and it was actually really great. We left the house for that at 9:45am. It began at 10am.
The workshop went until 4pm at which time I spent an hour before 5pm mass in the chapel. Very nice.
Mass finished at 6:15pm and my roommates and I (along with one of the FOCUS men) headed to the Urbana Sweet Corn  Festival. Delicious.
I left the festival at about 7:50 to go to Newman for an Illini Collegians for Life meeting.
The ICFL meeting ended at 9pm and I left Newman to go to the "Fever" house (an all male Catholic men's house) for a beginning-of-the-new-school-year party.
We left Fever around 10:30 and went home.

Today was another day of insanity for it was the epic Quad Day.
Long story short, was at Newman by 9am, Quad Day began at noon, ended at 4pm.
BBQ at 5pm. Was there until 7:45pm.
Came home.
Here I am.

So I'm going to bed.
Judge all you like.
Call me an old woman.
I don't care.

My book and my bed are calling to me.
I must go.

Buenos noches
