Time to grow up...?

"Oh the cleverness of me." I resonated with that line in particular when of my my roommates and I watched Peter Pan the other day. He wasn't clever at all, you see, in the instance it was used. I watched this movie on Saturday. On Friday- one of my days off- I deemed it prudent to sleep in until 11 because I stayed up too late the night before. Come Friday night, I am not tired. I am simply not tired. I laid awake in bed from 10:30 until 2:30 trying to sleep, but my body was not cooperating. Next morning, my alarm goes off at 6. I realize that the night before, I set my alarm too early- I really didn't have to wake up until 6:30. So I reset my alarm-- but on my computer this time. In my sleep-deprived, drunken-esque stupor, I close the monitor on my laptop. It's a conclusion motion. My thoughts were probably somewhere along the lines of: "Okay, alarm reset, oh the cleverness of me, I'm mature doing mature tasks like setting more sensible alarms, ho ho! *closes laptop*" Then I woke up at 8:45, feeling intensely groggy and with a massive headache. I called in one of my sick days. I woke up again at 10, and felt worlds and worlds better, and kept myself busy for the rest of the day. I spent my 3 days off doing many grown-up things, not anticipating all of the factors that really go into living in a "grown-up" world. I suppose that living at home for so long has made me slightly sheltered, even though I definitely came to Florida thinking I was at least somewhat near adequately prepared. I mean... I did laundry! Still, this is only the first mistake I've made while being here, and I don't plan on repeating it. My room is clean, my pictures are hung, I put up a new shower curtain, and I went to the gym in addition to working today. You know that really determined look Popeye gets after eating his huge can of spinach? Yeah? Well that's me. I'm ready to take on anything. Also, my little sister said she felt great about her audition for James Madison, I'm LOVING the Chesterton book the boyfriend gave me for Christmas, (while on that subject) the boyfriend had a great weekend at conference, and I found my way back to base from the boat dock at animal kingdom. The grown-up world has joy in it, too :) Oh and did I mention that I ate oreos with peanut butter tonight? Because I totally did.
