I missed out on Habitat on Friday. I showed up at the church in the morning, only to find that due to lack of volunteers, no one was going out. Later I found out that three did go out on their own.

Since I didn't get to help on Friday, I decided to go on Saturday. Again I got up and headed into the church early in the morning. Four of us, John, Art, Craig, and I, drove to the site in a church van. Again, some others from the church had gone of their own accord. There were about a dozen people at the site. It was wonderful getting to meet them and work with them. I was surprised; I expected the group to be comprised primarily of students and retired folks. It turned out we had a great mix, including some about my own age. That was a real treat.

We got back around 4p. I went home around 5p after helping out a little with setting up for Bless the Fest, got cleaned up, ate, and rested. I returned to Wesley at 10p. Bless the Fest was just coming up to speed. I spent the night working 'security' for the gallery that was set up on the first floor. I roused at 7a, helped set out the tables and chairs for the gallery, and then went to the 8a service. I was surprised when JoAnn, one of the Habitat people sat in my pew as the service was about to begin. Both of us don't normally go to the 8a service, so it was an unexpected coincidence.

After the service I went home, ate, got cleaned up, and took a nap. I almost completely ignored my alarm when it went off; I was still very tired. I went back into Wesley for an advisory board meeting at 4p. The meeting ran over two hours. Tyson was present, and he shared some of his plans for Wesley. The meeting covered a lot of ground; I'm glad I was there. Afterwards, I grabbed some leftovers in the fridge and watched 60 Minutes in the green room.

Morgan stopped by. He organized a group to go to the drive-in. Nate, Maureen, and Becky joined us. It was nice to get to spend some time with them.

I got back home around 2:30p. After taking care of email, news, etc, I made it to bed at 3:30a.

*yawn*

I don't think this compares to the schedules of some of the other students, especially those who are pulling long shifts at work (some w/ more than one job) in addition to other responsibilities.

Even so, I feel that I've had a "non-stop" schedule from Saturday morning through late Sunday night.

As Becky said, "I can't wait for the fall semester so I get a break."
