Stress

This week has been nothing short of stressful. I found out last weekend that I would now have to give a speech on Youth Sunday (already done now, more info below), in addition to the huge research presentation and proposal presentation, both of which are due on Tuesday. So it was that I spent most of my week stressing out, writing one thing or another. It felt sort of like a "pile-on Will" week. Then the news came out that one of the guys dropped out of our RPG group. I find this most...irksome...as the individual in question has been one of the better players, and is quite a cool guy in general. It's frustrating, to say the least. The net result was that the normal crew was somewhat demoralized, and the game was a bit less fun this weekend. At any rate, the game went okay, though it was somewhat anti-climactic, considering our last game.

Moving along, today was the afore-mentioned youth Sunday, at which I had to speak. I guess I did okay, because people seemed to be giving me positive feedback. Our biggest trouble is that our kids just simply do not remember commitments. "Yeah, I'll be there at 7:45." At 8:00, "What? I was supposed to be there?" Frustrating and irksome. In spite of this typical SNAFU, it seemed to go well. We didn't encounter any real difficult issues, so that was good. Mainly, I'm just glad to get it done.

In other news, my sister picked a lousy weekend to take the car. This means I have been reliant upon others to get me from point A to point B, which is inconvenient for me, and makes me feel like an inconvenience to them. To make matters worse, I forgot my wallet and apartment keys in my other pants, so now I can't get into the flat to change out of my good clothes, get my books, or even go somewhere to get something to eat. Seriously. This sucks. At any rate, I think I'll sign off, as really, there isn't anything more that I desire to talk about.
