I always considered myself a pretty deep sleeper. Whenever there would be a thunder and lightning storm that most are awoken by I wake in the morning, peering out the window, commenting, "did it rain last night?" But the truth is coming out! I am a sound "country" sleeper; you put me in a city and it's a different story!!
Here's the dilemmia, the dumpters are right outside my window. Here in Dayton apparently it is customary to collect trash in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT! I'm NOT kidding, midnight, 3 am, 6 am. I could deal with the midnight and 6 am. . . but the ones that occur between those hours make me insane!
The trucks come and it is like I am under attack! The lights, the beeping, the roar of the engines, and lets not forget when the dumpters are lifted they go right by my second story window!
I don't run on much sleep these days. . . for example I fell asleep around 2 last night, and awoke at 6 with the trucks . . . Solution? Don't have one yet. I've attempted to sleep in the other room I have which is further from the window and separated by another wall, but this placed me closer to the constant shreking of the freshmen girls running up and down the hallway, ALSO at all hours of the night! My next attempt is going to be ear plugs. . . I'm afraid that this will make it hard to hear an alarm in the morning so I may have to get use to sleeping with my cell phone alarm on vibrate and straped to my arm or leg or something.
For now, signing off, sleep deprived ready to face another long day with a TON of work to do! Systematic Theology is ironically my favorite class, Scripture is very interesting, but Church History sucks! Can't God just divinely fill me in!?

Hey Sara!
I am enjoying all your blogs and am always interested in hearing what is going on...a solution to your sleep problem...You could definately do ear plugs, but what you do is put your phone on vibrate and stick in under your pillow or in your pillow case right under your head...It is usreal how it works. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. I'll be checking in with you soon...keep working hard:-)
Hey there,
I can tell you where to strap your vibrating cell phone, that will be sure to wake you up... wink wink....
Hey Sara,
This comment doesn't really pertain to this blog. I wanted to comment on the beer pong blog but unfortunly St. Charles has it block out. Probarly because of the name beer pong.
Anyway its nice to hear that you are doing well, I'll loved to hear more about your theology classes.
Too bad you can't pick them up and throw them down the basement. Mary slept upstairs the other night in Jason's room and couldn't believe how loud Tucker was. I said, now you know why Sara braved picking him up in the middle of the night and throwing him down the basement.
