September 14

So Thursday night I got almost no sleep at all. The few hours of precious sleep that I got were that kind of half sleep which doesn't really do a whole lot for you. I woke up—or really I just got out of my bed—exhausted on Friday morning and that persisted throughout the rest of the day. My main goal was to get through my quiz in 336 so that I could get back to my bed and, possibly, get some real sleep.
I went to breakfast, studied for the quiz for about an hour before class, and went to have the worst of it. Luckily, I did decently on the quiz, scoring a 7/8. You could tell that Kerri, Danny, and I all studied together because we all missed the last question. Apparently, when you travel from Jerusalem to Bethlehem to Bethel, the elevation increases and does not decrease, which is not what we thought. After all, didn't we learn that you always go "up to Jerusalem?" This must be the exception.
So after the quiz I took refuge in my bed and slept for a few hours through lunch. I had a little snack and then hit the books. My studying was fairly ineffective, but it at least gave me license to play that evening, which I did.

Before dinner I played volleyball for an hour or so, which was muy fun. I had some dinner, and then I went to the IMPROV TALENT SHOW. Whoever organized that—I'm thinking Rachel Briggs—did a great job. It was well-done, and very fun. My group was assigned to do a puppet show, which we pulled off splendidly. My favorites were probably the Kearl interpretive dance and the poetry reading.
After this spectacular event we played "Do You Love Your Neighbor?" in the Oasis. It turned out to be very fun, and it gave us a chance to get to know one another a little better. The only bad aspect was the destruction of one of the chairs by our dear friend Archie. They are fragile chairs…
After that rousing game I headed downstairs—all the way down—and ironed my dress for Shabbat. This took a surprisingly long time. I next read The Kite Runner, then some scriptures, said my prayers, and hit the sack. Fortunately, I was able to sleep.
