Sleepy... Why am I awake?

I feel the need to post something at this wee hour of the morning. I just got in about 5 minutes ago and am freezing. Suffice it to say, it's been a long night but a lot of fun. Today I was up at the crack of dawn (just before 6 am) after getting to bed late... to study for my lab exam, which was at 10 this morning. Went pretty good. Then I ran home to grab a change of clothes and made it back to the uni for a quick shower and somehow managed to make it to Meridian conference center for the athletics awards banquet. And so, here are some things I found out about the crazy people we call athletes at U of A:
- They're darned hot dressed up (or dressed down, whatever)
- There are some fantastic and fun Bears and Pandas (Some of 'em are so considerate, and so many are so much fun!)
- There are some insanely insecure Pandas (I ended up consolling two random girls in the bathroom sobbing because they felt insufficient... not what I'd expect from varsity athletes!)
-They drink a lot of alcohol
-They hire some darned good caterers because I haven't felt this full in a long long time. Oh, but the cheesecake was to die for.
- Being a good looking guy on a varsity team doesn't make you a catch. I was pretty appalled by some of them - one of 'em was much worse than any person I've ever had to deal with as a security guard. I was actually in shock. The funny thing there is that my pal Sean definitely predicted that, he actually pointed out this guy from a distance and said "Now why would any girl talk to him? Every single one here is out of his league. He's trash." I did not see it at all, I wish I had that sixth sense in my own love life. Blech.
- Did I mention the cheesecake?
- I have a yellow flower behind my ear from some random guy on the volleyball team who was kind of strange.
- Some other random guy on the volleyball team took a picture of me sleeping on the bus home.
- The nicest athletes I met I would actually rate as the most intimidating and scary while playing their sport.
- I'm really full and utterly exhausted and I have no idea what I am posting about or why, but I know I have a ten page final paper due at 9:30 Tuesday morning that I haven't started yet and have no idea where to start and a thousand things and commitments to do before then.... and I should care but right now I need some sleep. So tomorrow morning I can start to feel screwed but for now bed sounds great.
