Crazy Crazy

This has been a ridiculous weekend. I feel as though that word will be overused over the next five months and I'll need to find several replacements for it.

Last week was only 3 days long and it felt like a lifetime. The amount of information I have just crammed into my brain is unprecedented in any history class I've ever taken--and that includes everything that Ms. Neill has thrown at me in a single hour. Imagine 9 hours of Neill classes and you're more or less right. Then multiply it by 3 for the entire first week.

This weekend was a huge study time/break from work. Weird combination, I know. Friday night I read Blue Like Jazz. Yes, the whole thing.

We went to Pacific Beach on Saturday and stuck around until 8, but the entire time I was there, I was studying the history of the war in Uganda. Just before leaving, Forrest, Brian and I went to search for a GeoCache. Check it out sometime. Very cool concept. I came home that night more or less exhausted, and picked up The Irresistible Revolution at 11:00. At 11:30 I fell asleep.

I literally slept then until 9am on Sunday. If anyone knows me, that is an unheard of amount of sleep. I spent the entire day reading the rest of The Irresistible Revolution at a nearby coffee shop called Cosmos, finished it, and went to Vons to pick up coffee, creamer, and chai tea. It was a great day.

Today is Monday and we started real work today. Something's a-brewing in the offices and everyone knows it, but we don't know what that is. They're in the middle of working on a new piece of lovely merch to sell (get excited) but there's something else. Something bigger. We don't know what that might be or if it will even come out on our tour, but it's going to be epic--as only IC can do.

Bookings start Wednesday. Tomorrow we learn how to pitch Invisible Children to a contact. Today we learned the database system. Crazy crazy. I'm spending all night tonight pouring over my contacts in the Pacific Northwest and organizing information. The work here never ends.

SO READY for the rest of this week!!!
