I have returned! (From the East Coast Summit on Hunger and Homelessness in Boston, if you missed that)
It is almost midnight, I have class in 8 hours, I have lots of work that needs doing, but I also have cramps (GOOD TIMING, BODY) and I'm plowing my way through three days worth of my "short version" flist (which still has like 25 people on it, WHY ARE YOU ALL SO AWESOME?) so basically, not being productive right now.
The trip was a lot of fun. The conference went really well, and the place we stayed was really quite nice - much better than last year. It was less... exuberant and epic than last year, but at the same time much more manageable, and I don't feel like I'm DEAD. Which is a good thing, because, orgo in 8 hours.
The one weird thing about the weekend was I kept getting randomly dizzy. I was exhausted already on Friday (because a week of class KILLS me this semester) and then got 5 hours sleep Friday night and went to the conference Saturday morning, and at the conference I noticed the world was going kinda topsy turvy every now and then. It kept getting worse, so we asked one of the conference volunteers if I could sleep somewhere, and they brought me to a lounge with couches and I took a 2 hour nap, so I was mostly better after that. But not for a while, actually - I still felt dizzy for a little while after I woke up. It was bizarre, because I've never reacted to sleep deprivation like that before. I had more of the dizziness earlier today. I'm wondering if I'm coming down with something, because I've had less sleep than that before and not reacted like that. Anyone have any ideas?
I'll do a mini recap later, but like I said, flisting right now, and then sleep. It's good to be home! *hugs everyone*
