The Yard Sale

the yard sale was extremely tiring but lots of fun. i was up 40 plus hours straight and jennifer outdid me by at least 4 hours. i dunno how she made it. the u-haul broke down so we had to carry everything by a line of cars, trailers, and trucks. people started stalkin the prey at freakin 2 in the mornin, then at 4:30, some just parked there cars and waited swarmin us at like a little after 5 when we weren't scheduled to start at 6. and some of them were freakin crazy. it was a long friday night, all 24 hours saturday and then sunday mornin and early afternoon. and jennifer is like awesome. i was about to pass out and she was still tickin. poor jason, she ran him ragged too. the hell with u-hauls out of columbus. its like u haul the truck around, not the truck haulin the goods.

The Beginning of the YDA Trip: Plannin and travel arrangements

speakin of transportation issues, our private plane to san fran for young democrats of america is stuck in venezuela with mechanical problems. ain't that nice. here's the kicker. we are now leavin wednesday at 11 and drivin 30 plus hours one way to san fran and then 30 plus hours back. at least it is on a really nice campaign style RV bus bein that it is the one john edwards travelled in when campaignin for vice-president in the southwest U.S. Still, it will be long and someone is likely to be tarred and tossed out of the bus b/c they'll tick everyone off. Hopefully not me.

Anyways, i now have to crash study for me 2 final exams which i have to take tomorrow (tuesday) since we are leaving wednesday, the day they were scheduled. yikes. i don't normally pray but i might should start.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See ya soon. Off to study again. Lucky i got bloggin and some other stuff to keep the stress down and relax. Take care ya'll.

Wow, 30 hours! Thats quite a trek you're planning. I hope safety follows you on your trip, and try not to piss too many people off.

Good luck on your exams!
