The day's just over half over, and it's already enough to fill a post. It began at around 3am, when I woke up to utilize the washroom. After I came back, however, I had a ton of trouble getting to sleep. The reason: my head started spinning endless thoughts again...it's very sad and sometimes aggravating. I tried hard to stop and just go to sleep, but that was not possible. Eventually I calmed down enough to do a puzzle for a short while, got sleepy, and after even more struggle, finally went to sleep again (I think at around 6am). So that wasn't a good start to the morning, isn't it? Especially when I'm scheduled to wake up at 7.
And then there was the Sunday service. Oh boy...yikes. First, I didn't receive the lyrics for the songs. Second, the usual projector was broken, so we had to use the alternate projector up at the front. Third, they were madly typing up the lyrics as the service had started...we barely got the first song in before it ended. The second song was a miss. The third song, well, let's just say I ran back and forth between the typer and the projector way too many times...eventually got it in, but the words were too small. Eventually, we had used 3 laptops to operate the entire sequence. That was just horrible...and very embarrassing for me to run around like a mad man or something. Sigh...I ended up getting myself back into the isolation booth and never appeared.
After the service, we had the usual refreshment gathering thingie, and then several of us went off to Duke of Wellington for lunch (or breakfast). Once again, we made a spectacle of ourselves, with some girls screaming like someone's been murdered. The rest of us pretended that we were not with them... I think I made Alice angry or something, but I don't really want to think about it. I spent a lot of time with Samuel, and it was good to be able to talk to him in a relaxed form again. I had this egg benedict thingie, and it was all good except the ham was quite overcooked in the sense that there were too many burnt marks on it...I tried to ingest it, but eventually gave up. The nice thing about it, though, is the assorted fruit portion, which is a nice change to my diet for once. But now I'm hungry already...hmm...
