broken mind and broken toe

i just want to sleep.

i don't think that's much to ask for, but my mind refuses to let up. i haven't had a nightmare in weeks and of course it picks tonight to remind me of what i'm supposed to be studying.

i'm slacking a bit on connecituct camp stuff and i shouldn't be, but i'm pressed for time at the moment. my next deadline is april 7th and it's a big one, but with spring break i won't be able to work on it (not realistically), so that means i'll have a about two weeks to really sit down and do it when i get back. sigh...maybe tonight was my brain's way of telling me to get the lead out and get crackin.

in any case i don't appreciate the reminder.

SERCS (southeastern regional collegiate sprints) was fantastic. the weather was perfect-- light wind and 80+ degrees-- nothing like the 40mpw hell we had last year. i was out on the water for a good bit of the day being a stake boat holder, which basically means i held the stern of the boat in my lane while they positioned themselves for the race. together the rest of the stake boat holders and i would get all the boats lined up together so everyone was starting at an even point.

it very relaxing (i nearly fell asleep at one point during a break) and the best job for volunteers, by far. i was on the most ghetto looking platform ever and all i had to do was was lay down for 5 hours, so of course i broke out the spf5000. redheads and sun just don't mix well.

but while the day was good i'm 99% positive i broke my big toe (left foot). i stubbed it something awful on the raised concrete porch of the club building and it's been hurting like hell ever since. hurts to walk on, throbs, etc etc. it's not huge, but it's bigger in comparison to my other one.

i really don't have time for this either-- i'm doing loads of walking in chicago and i can't have this slowing me down. there's not much to do for a broken toe though: tape it up or put a small splint on it and take some painkillers. time is what it needs but i don't have time to give it.



hopefully going back to sleep soon. hopefully my sunday will be filled with adventure, because that would be wonderful.
