Crazy weekend

This weekend was past insane. There was so much good, bad, and just plain wild in such a short amount of time. I’ll break it down day-by-day for you:

Friday:
I started the day with no homework done from feeling terrible the night before. I woke up at 5:30 and managed to pull everything together. I still felt sick but not nearly as much as I did the two days before. Got criticized because I said I might not play in the football scrimmage that night. I ended up playing my heart out and beat the snot out of some kids from Greenfield. We lost the scrimmage 18-7, but I felt good making my enemies feel like jerks.

Saturday:
Began work on my Eagle Scout project, which is building a produce stand for our local community garden. It’s a big project and will take several weeks. I have to finish all my work before my 18th birthday, so I’m on a tight schedule. We finished work at 12:30, and got a lot done. Stephanie came over at 4 and we watched movies all evening. She also helped me sort through all sorts of stuff I’m getting rid of to make space in my room. I was horrified and enraged to discover that someone destroyed ALL of the work we had done in the garden that morning. I wasn’t sure who did it, but they were gonna get it if I ever found out. It was a great day otherwise.

Sunday (today):
I found out at church that one of the congregation that also happens to own the land thought that the city was doing unauthorized work on his land, and that was why he dismantled it. He graciously helped us redo all the work we lost, and I am sitting on go for the next stage of construction. I also practiced some driving, folded all of my tshirts in a space-saving manner for limited drawer space, and I made some dough from eBay sales. In another stroke of good fortune, I finally got my graphics card to work, completing my summer project and my new monster of a PC.
