My Busiest Week Comes To A Close

All two of you that read these ramblings, Eric and Jen rock your socks off, might have noticed the blog hiatus the last 8 days. That's because this was the busiest week I've had in months. Last week I was busy with work and writing 2 papers that were due on Monday, then I had a midterm on Tuesday and another on Thursday. I went into work on Tuesday afternoon for a while, Wednesday I was at work from 11am to 10pm like normal, Thursday I was at work 7-9pm and the week culminated with Blitzfest.

We have been planning Blitzfest since the end of summer and it finally arrived last night, Friday October 13. Consequently, I just got home from cleaning up after Blitz. Blitzfest is a night of bands, rides, all you can eat pizza and drink soda, xbox tournament, student art show, and more going from 7-11pm. Three of the bands were local bands, Castle Black, Adora, and Repeat Repeat, and our headliner was A Static Lullaby. Actually members of Castle Black and Repeat Repeat go to WACC. Dragonforce (listen to this madness) was in the area recently and we joked about getting them to play, actually we discussed hijacking their bus and making them come. Anyway, I got to work at 10:30am and got to work setting up tables and chairs, hanging art, painting signs, stringing extension chords all over, setting up tvs and xboxs, etc. The other day we bought and transported 3,000 sodas to give out at Blitzfest and we ordered 300 pizzas from Little Cesars. I spent most of my time overseeing the Spiritual Direction area where we gave out hot chocolate, cookies, and talked with kids about life, God, whatever they wanted. It was a good night, we had around 800 kids turn out and we only had to kick out 2 people for being drunk. After the night was over we stayed to clean up until 1am, I'm beat. Time to go back to living like a hermit.
