an update

I feel like I should add something here, because I like to know what's going on in your life. I don't have the energy to say anything profound (in fact I should definitely be in bed). But I'm doing okay. To give you an idea of why I don't blog, this is what I've done in the last 48 hours:
Stayed up until 11:30 p.m. (even though I was sick with a fever, congestion, etc...) to finish the rough draft of a 18 page paper.
Slept.
Woke up to read for my last Wills&Estates, Trusts and B.A. classes. I made it through the first two. Went to my last day of class for 5 of my 6 classes (the other I finished on Monday).
In between classes, ran to Brick Oven for an English Composition closing lunch. Ate yummy pizza.
Revised my 18 page paper as best I could and turned it in.
Turned in an 8 page paper and log detailing my 40 hours of community service for Hispanic Street Law.
Did a little dance because school is over!! (At least classes. though it's bittersweet because this has definitely been my best semester of law school. I've enjoyed it thoroughly!)
Organized a Saturday afternoon potluck picnic in the park (with games). (if you're in Provo and haven't been invited yet, please call and come play with us)
Organized a surprise birthday party for 24 hours away.
Went to a great Stake Relief Society training meeting.
Had a short R.S. presidency meeting.
Came home. Resent 18 page paper with proper citations inserted.
Talked to Nancy and Sherilyn on the phone, while pretending I was going to bed at an appropriate time.
Slept.
Woke up.
Picked Nancy up so she could drop me off at class (she says I let her borrow my car just so I feel special getting chauffeured to school - how did she figure out?)
Taught English 150 - well, supervised while they worked on their group projects. Made students do evaluations for me.
Finished 4 teacher evaluations for my professors.
Briefly attended the law school closing BBQ. yummy.
Came home and cleaned the clutter around my house so people could sit.
Rested some so I don't get sicker and will someday actually get well.
Spoke to a girl in Charlotte about subletting a room in her townhouse for the summer.
Listened to Emily vent about the mean man at the Gateway Center who wouldn't let her out because she didn't have $1 in cash. (she should blog about that, unless she wants to forget it)
Had Miriam and Deanna and Azure over for lunch. (It was lovely to see them, I'm sad it's over, but SO GLAD we did it.) Planned a birthday bash for October.
Cleaned, picked up Laura from work and quickly shopped at Dollar Tree for B-day party supplies.
Made pizza, cake, etc... while law school friends came and decorated.
Had a surprise birthday party for my friend Sara Young.
Visited with Sara (and Willie) after everyone left.
Read blogs that I have grounded myself from for some time.
Listened to Reba's Somebody - I love that video.
And now, written this blog.
Yes, my friends, that was all within the last 48 hours. And I left a few things out. No wonder I'm exhausted, sick and HAPPY! (and no wonder I never have time to blog.)

Hi Ruth! I wonder if you remember me from freshman year, but if you don't you can remind yourself at my blog: thehellwigfamily.blogspot.com. I'm so happy I found your blog. I've forgotten how much work it is to be in school and I can't imagine law school! No matter how busy you get, just make sure you take time for yourself, no matter what it is you like to do (blog, read, long showers - my favorite). Have a relaxing Saturday!

Thank you so much for lunch yesterday. Soon you'll have a relaxing drive for days and you can just sit and listen to books on CD :)
