Longest day in a long time

After just 4 hours of sleep tuesday night I managed to keep myself busy for 24 hours straight. I presented West Grand Neighborhood Organization's housing committee recomendations to the City of Grand Rapids Housing Board of Appeals. It was a very interesting process but I found out that they guy I was testifying against was sitting right behind me and he was definately an intimidating fellow. Following my first major experience in city government I raced off to prepare for a presentation in my Islamic Empires class. It went reasonably well although I was very nervous the whole time. When class ended I hurried to my car to drive down to Holland for a birthday party for Paige. Enjoyed a lovely meal at Applebee's (I think I've been there once a week for the last month or so which is weird cause I NEVER used to go out to eat there). After the birthday dinner we went back to Sarah's mom's house for cake and presents. All in all it was an enjoyable evening. Managed to make it home in time for South Park as well which was a bonus for sure. This was where my night should have ended but what fun would life be without a little spontinaity. Shaved Head and I decided at 2am that something needed to be done about our apartment's furniture arrangement. Now it is 8am on Thursday. The count is at 25 hours with zero sleep. I never thought I'd pull a mid-week all-nighter again.
