I'm still feeling weird today, so I'm hanging out at camp trying to get rid of this dizziness-and-yellow-icky-stuff thing. (sorry for being gross.)
It's funny how much your perspective can change in less than 2 weeks...
TEMPERATURE
-Two weeks ago, 60 felt warm, 70 felt awesome, and 80 felt hot.
-Now, 60 feels quite cold (yes, I wear a sweatshirt most evenings here), 70 is chilly, 80 feels nice, and only temperatures above 92 or so feel hot.
WAKE UP TIME
-Two weeks ago, getting up early was rising before 10. Sleeping in meant staying in bed til whenever I woke up.
-Now, getting up on time is 6:30. Sleeping in is til 7:30. Today (because of being sick) I didn't get up til 10. Oh. My. Goodness. That seems absurdly late.*
ALARM CLOCK
-Two weeks ago, my "alarm clock" was Kiwi gently (or sometimes loudly) rubbing against my door to tell me he wanted attention.
-Now, my alarm clock is my phone's "Xylophone" ring (first alarm) and then "Marimba" (a few minutes later).
MILK
-Two weeks ago, I had to kind of be forced to drink my milk at dinner. I always longed for sweet tea.
-Now, I crave milk--white, chocolate, whatever. Don't get me wrong, I still LOVE sweet tea but I rarely get milk down here so when I do, it's glorious.
EVENING ACTIVITY
-Two weeks ago, I tried to watch Idol every time it was on and would usually take a walk with Mom or do something else with her or Dad or Gret.
-Now, DOMINOES!
BEDTIME
-Two weeks ago, I'd sit up in my room til whenever at night on the computer or finishing up stuff from the day. (Honestly, just over two weeks ago, I'd spend every night up til at least midnight finishing my last 8 papers of the semester. Thanks goodness that's over!) Then, I'd eventually go to sleep.
-Now, 9:30 rolls around and I'm ready to go bed. I usually don't actually go to bed then (the company of friends and our games of dominoes win nearly every time), but I strongly consider it every night. Some nights, sleepiness comes on closer to 8:30! How long ago was it that I wanted to go to bed at 8:30???!?
I'll have to keep thinking of other things. I'm sure there are more. Any times this has happened for you?

And just think what it will be like in 10 day s from now! Maybe one of the nicest beaches on the east coast staying with some of the nicest people in the world! God is good! And perspective is gold!
