To Much Sleep!!

I went to be at 8:00pm and woke up at 10:00pm Saturday night to call Mom, Dad, Carrie, and Lisa. Then when i was done i went to bed at about midnight. I could not fall asleep until about 2:30am. Then i woke up at 8:00 and felt really good about how much sleep i got. Then i went to take a shower and noticed that i was extremely hungry and my teeth felt like that hadn't been brushed for 24 hours. When i got out of the shower i noticed that it was still dark outside. Not thinking anything of this i checked my email and saw that Kelli emailed me to say goodnight. This makes sense because it was 11:00 at her location. So i called her to say goodnight, and she said something along the lines of have a good sleep.. so i told her i just woke up. We discussed this as the wheels, ever so slowly, started turning in my head, I slept for 17.5 hours!! Well, now i am awake at 9:00 pm the night before my orientation. And, of course, i was going to go to the accommodations office today to find out when and where orientation is tomorrow. Jet lag, you win again..

So i don't really have anything to update because i was asleep for the entire day. Hopefully tomorrow i can fight off being irritable from staying up all night because i am meeting all of the new exchange students like me.

Aunt Pat wanted me to expand on the bullet in the airport security. I have a bullet in a casing from a 500 S&W handgun. For those of you who don't know, this is a very hefty handgun. Let it be known that i have made it through roughly 6 airport security stations with this. The percussion cap is spent, there is a hole where the powder should be, and the bullet has been pressed all the way back into the brass. But, they called the police. Then the police had trouble believing that there was no powder in the cartridge because it was so heavy. She "proved" this be taking the revolver cylinder filled with six bullets and showing me it was the same weight as my one bullet. I wanted to tell her that was because her poodle shooter pistol was loaded to kill a ground squirrel ten feet away. After discussing it, airport security decided the brass was filled with lead before the bullet was put in, that alone is the only way to explain its weight.. lol. After calling the police they have to do a certain amount of paper work that i had to stick around for. 30 minutes later i was given back my key chain and let go. Sorry max (Max made the key chain for me), but i was flying to an airport that spoke little English and didn't want to go through that again.. so i threw it away.
