Yay Lake Tahoe
It's almost sort of funny how beyond exhausted I am and yet it's 6:45 and I can't sleep. Grrrrrrrrr.
I worked hard on the publication and registration all week, earning me stress and exhaustion but I got cheered for a couple of times at the meeting last night so there you go? The overall publication response is a positive one.
After a rocky start with some MLYDAA who were annoying at the beginning it worked into a give and take of mutually ignoring each other throughout the evening which is fine with me actually. I think of all the nights Thursday's going to work out to be my favorite, after a fundraiser in SF where I got to help raise money for a Stonewall Young Democrats group in SF and talk to many cute gay boys who were totally friendly AND polite (and still guys, imagine that?) my friend (who's 28) got us into a bar across the street and I hung out with some of my best friends in CYD who I didn't have to worry about drinking a martini and vodka and cranberry and then driving to Berkeley and then Sacramento and then Tahoe.
After Thursday afternoon where we realized at 3:30 that the publication wasn't printed and basically I was running around downtown Berkeley trying to find Kinkos (who's color copier was broken), and then other copy shops before remembering that my mom could get the password off my e-mail and print it and then rushing to the fundraiser like a crazy person, I'm rightfully tired.
After a fun Thursday night we got to Tahoe at 5 AM and because I am a crazy person who cannot sleep I woke up at 7 AM and started making reg packets and went to bed at 2 AM and woke up at 6 AM not able to sleep and here you go. Weekends are far more fun when I'm not actually in charge of something, and it's not my job to figure out if you've ACTUALLY paid or just think you have. Volunteering is easy, this should be understandable to most people but really really isn't. If they don't need anything done at E-board go and enjoy and try to learn something, same with trainings. Mostly it just forces you to go and network already which is something you should already be doing.
I've been slightly creeping people out by figuring out their first name and club and telling them their last name. I've looked at the information WAY too many times, and I've been a facebook stalker recently so I also probably know their pictures, and where they look best. Ryan's sister Caily went to Del Campo, and is friends with a bunch of my friends from middle school, which I knew but she didn't, etc.
It's gorgeous here but because I was in a total rush to leave I forgot a coat, socks, closed toed shoes, a toothbrush, toothpaste, etc which is annoying on all kinds of levels.
I like the networking. I like my friends here, even though I forgot that some of them are boys that I typically flirt with but now don't due to the fact that I have a boyfriend, who even though he lives far far away I actually miss and care about and have no real desire to cheat on because I am probably sillily noble like that? I like the resort, it's crazy beautiful here, and the trainings today should be good except that I helped plan most of them so I know most of the info. I'm leading a chapter coaching at lunchtime, which is sort of fun, though I'm not totally sure what I'm going to talk to UCSC about. I have some issues with their former president, and her telling people it's okay to call me at 11 at night to get a quote for a press release. With any luck and some crossed fingers I'll get some time this morning to get a FULL ACTUAL MEAL which I haven't gotten in a little while, and head to Rite Aid for diet pepsi, a toothbrush, toothpaste and some socks. *crosses fingers* Oh, and some time to find my camera, which is around here...somewhere, and WHEN I find it it will be attached to my keyring forevermore.
I'm happy here just beyond exhausted in almost every sense of the word. :P
