feeling that ‘i’m so hungover’ feeling, except it’s not from drinking too much alcohol but from sleep deprivation. that’s because my three volleyball amigos and myself got back this morning from a 24-hour excursion to maryland and back. the state was host to a co-ed indoor volleyball tournament that we were just itching to attend. however, i think we all over-estimated our body’s ability to last the duration of the trip because when we rolled back into town this morning we looked like the four runts of a puppy litter (if there was such a thing). eight hours of playing nudged between two 5-hr plus lengths of driving is not a typical saturday for us—or anyone in their right minds for that matter.
but we are young. we are energetic. and when it comes down to it we would rather make the trek from maryland back to north carolina at 4 a.m. then spend the money on a hotel room instead. cheap? crazy? probably so, but if we hadn’t hit the pavement like we did we may have never found out that that 5-hour energy drink does not work. and that ruby tuesday is THE place to be on a saturday night in maryland. all in all it was a good experience and we shared a bunch of laughs as we always do. my parents think us kids are insane but i can deal with that. i don’t think mom and dad realize though that this friday the gang is taking it up a notch by driving to southern florida to compete in a beach tournament on saturday. oh, and did i mention we will be doing this again the following weekend? we’ll see how this one settles in with the rents.
signing off for now…i’ll try and sneak in a few words between my lunch and dinner shifts tomorrow.
