Winding Down

When I returned home from trivia, I had to go for a run in order to wind down from my trivia-buzz. It wasn't just to calm myself down, but also because I ate a ton in the 7 1/2 hours I spent at trivia. The time flew by (for the most part). There were a few times when we were so on top of things that it went a little slow. This is when I gravitated toward the candy and cookies. Not a good thing. Although, I must say that I had more fun than I thought I would. Let's be honest. I am horrible at searching for things on the internet. I don't have the skills for narrowing my search like some people do. Despite this fact, I found other ways to feel useful. I was a list maker a few times, I cleaned up the food room and I know that I had a major contribution to one question before my computer froze up. I know that I'm nowhere near being hard-core like Holly, Andrea or many others, but I am starting to see where the addiction comes from. It's almost like a runner's high; you can only know the feeling when you have experienced it. I like how we had to work together as a team to answer many of the questions; or, even if you are just cleaning up, you can feel like you are still helping out the group . I miss that feeling from being on a sports team.

I hadn't even planned on staying as long as I did, but time swept away. Its a good thing that I don't have to teach tomorrow because I have about a weeks worth of grading to do plus some other projects to get ready. Oh, well...it was a well spent 7 1/2 hours.
