Day 397: FBLA - Level: Chaperone

I am so tired right now that I'm honestly starting to question whether or not writing this blog post is a good idea...so humor me with my mistakes (I'm trying to get myself past that state of tiredness where I am no longer tired so I can work on my philosophy homework yet tonight).

Why am I so tired you ask?

Well, I was up at the wonderful hour of 5 this morning so I could go along with my High School FBLA Chapter to their Regional Competition. We had to be at school at 6:15, so that meant an early wakeup call for every single one of us. But it's always a fun day, so it's not like you can complain too much. Plus, this year it was in Kewaunee, and I have family there, so I got to see some of them today, which was pretty awesome if I do say so myself.

And you know what, while I don't specifically have a picture of it, a little bit of Disney did work its way into the competition today, specifically in a workshop on leadership. I missed the first couple of minutes of the workshop because I escorted someone out so they could leave with their parent, but I was there for most of it, including the Disney part.

One of the speakers talked about the four different kinds of leaders, and he used animals to describe them: The Golden Lion, The Loyal Blue Retriever, The Busy Beaver (or something like that) and the something or other Monkey (I honestly don't remember what it was other than it was Curious George on the slide). Now, the Lion, that was Mufasa...and I felt accomplished because even at first glance I knew it was Mufasa and not Simba (also everytime I write Mufasa I just hear it in like a hyena voice LOL). And then the Beaver wasn't really a beaver at all, but was the groundhog (I think it is) from Winnie the Pooh. The speaker was saying that he couldn't find an actual cartoon beaver that we would know and I was like "LADY AND THE TRAMP!" Except for quiet and only to my friends.

So now I'm sitting here trying not to fall asleep while my cat sits on my lap and does just that: fall asleep. Silly kitten.

Have a magical day!

Day 234: First Day...kind of.

Today was the day that I finally got to move into college. Yes, that means that my family loaded all those boxes into our van and drove to my college, unloaded them, and then I spent a large portion of today setting up my room and meeting new people and so on and so forth. It was quite the interesting experience. Well, not bad necessarily, just interesting. I suppose it's a good sign that I'm tired because I am so out of it that I'm surprised I'm actually writing right now. But I did decide that I should actually complete one of the blog posts that I still need to work on, even if it is just the one for today. That's better than nothing, after all.

I'll talk more about my dorm room tomorrow for sure, because I'm just too lazy to take my camera, get the pictures off of it and upload them here. That's just too much work. I can say that even though my schedule gets interesting from here on out, I don't plan on stopping with this blog. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's going to be like that one thing I look forward to each day. Well, unless I'm just really really tired. Then I'll probably just sleep. Sleep is always a good thing.

In fact that's what I really feel like doing right now. Sleeping. That sounds nice. So even though this is an extremely short blog post (probably one of the shortest to date...not the shortest though because I'm pretty sure that was day like day 124 or something), I'm going to probably head to bed. I still want to watch an ApprenticeEh vlog, so I must do that yet before sleeping too. I'm going to try and keep up with them from now on because, well, that sounds like a great thing to do when I've been working for hours and need a break.

Ok, I'm just rambling, so here's a picture of something that I haven't decided yet (although I guess that doesn't matter to you because you can see it right there).

And here's today's Disney History: 1920: Science-Fiction, fantasy and horror writer Ray Bradbury, friend to Walt Disney and a consultant to the Imagineers who designed Epcot's Spaceship Earth attraction, is born in Waukegan, Illinois.

Have a magical day!
