body clock vs the alarm clock in a snowball fight on the dean's list

it is 2.20am as i begin this entry. work at 8am. that is 5.40 hours. it would make sense to be sleeping right now. but being the intelligent person that i am, i decided that over my short vacation that it would be a good idea to sleep in till noon and stay up till who knows when. so i am not tired right now even though i should be and will be in a couple hours when i wake up.

another intelligent thing i have done recently was in a snowball brawl with my little bro. a snowball fight seemed like a good pregame to the christmas eve church service. i was chasing him down with snowball in hand as i rounded the punk rock van. it was above freezing so you would think there would be no ice on the driveway. yet i happen to hit the only patch of ice on the entire driveway, and it was only the size of a SNES console. so my pursuit comes to a crashing halt as i fall flat on my hands and knees and get slightly busted up. the fight is postponed until we reach church, at which point we both exchange decent hits with our frozen projectiles. Jesus has some good birthday party activities-snowball fights, singing and reflecting on life.

this just in! all of my grades have been reported for fall semester. and for only the second time in my college career, i have made the dean's list. just goes to prove that i am more focused and successful when i am overwhelmed. freshman year i made dean's list when i was taking 19 credits and involved in a number of clubs and activities, and this year i made it while going to school full time and working 3 jobs 41 hours a week.

it is now 2:36am. so long and goodnight.
