doubly over-booked

[sara_at_guelph]

I'm suprisingly relieved that I am doubly over booked for the retreat weekend. I suppose there could be a variety of different reasons why, the main one being that now I don't have to choose between my course and the retreat, since the work conflict made the decison for me. Other than that I'm also excited to have a weekend pretty well to myself. I can possible catch up on reading, or even if I dont I wont be nearly so tired on Monday as I would be if I had gone on the retreat, which is a major plus. My reasons for going to the retreat weren't very clear to me anyway. Though I was interested in the topic of "made in the image of God" and love Allison's talks, other than that there wasnt really a reason I wanted to go on the retreat. I know a weekend away is supposed to be good for me, but it never turns out like that, I always end up more stressed and further behind in everything I'm responsible to do. This year wouldnt be any different, I haven't had a usuable weekend yet this semester and it doesn't look like I'm going to get one anytime soon, since next weekend I go to Ottawa, and I probably work all the weekends after that. Not going will make my mom happy too since she is worried about my financial state, and doesnt seem to like me leaving Guelph while I'm here anyway.
Did I mention that I haven't had the chance to sleep-in in a long time? :)
