The Dangers of Sleep Typing

So most us have done some weird stuff in our sleep and of course those around us have had to share. I myself have held half-asleep phone conversations and sent half jumbled text messages. (This of course because I love to get calls and texts early in the a.m. and encourage it, most of time I am coherent, the other times we get a good laugh). I mean I have even found it necessary to check my phone the next morning and make sure that yep I did have a conversation with so and so at 3 a.m.

However, what I am about to tell you about I have never heard of anyone doing before. So I was typing up one of my last assignments to be emailed into my professor. Note: this was occurring at 2:30 in the morning. It was a reflection of what I had learned from the class. I suppose I did not realized exactly how exhausted I was, but I had been dozing off for the past half hour trying to get this thing completed. In desperation I stretched the document to a half page and called it that. I was already too far gone to proofread or even spell check so I just emailed it to him. Today I kinda wondered what I had sent because I didn’t truly remember.

Then I check my email where he had replied to my reflection and given me a grade on it. The first part started out well and the whole first paragraph was relevant. Then I read on to the next paragraph. I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I mean I could have written about a lot worst things, but apparently in my sleep writing I was concerned with my new church and the opportunities God is giving me to work with it. Then I go on to say that now that God has put me in this place I hope he gives me a relevant job here in St Louis.

Bless my professor, I bet he was so confused. Then he probably checked the time I sent the email and it all made sense. By the mercy or may it was the humor of the situation, I did get a 100% on the assignment. I know now though the dangers of sleep typing.

Talking with the sports news anchor

So my roommate from college, Kristina Perez, works at a news station. (I know...its freakin awesome isnt it!) I came down to visit her this weekend and she had to work, so I was hangin out at the station with her. Which is also freakin awesome! We had just got back from her lunch break when we walked in and the Cardinals vs Astros game was on. Mind you I am in SW Louisiana, AKA Astros territory. The Cards were up 4 to 1 so I responded automatically with joyous glee then I realized what I had done. I had just announced my enthusiasm for my team to the sports news anchor of the station, who is an avid Houston fan. What else could I do but rub it in his face a little, after all I had already "stepped in it." So there I was talkin baseball babble with Garrett the sports guy (who would have ever thought?). We finished our conversation and watch the rest of the game while everyone prepared for the 10 o'clock news, where of course he had to announce that the Astros lost to the Cardinals. I wonder if he was thinkin about this crazy Cardinals fan while making his report? Regardless I guess its just another one of those random opportunities that you never know about until they happen. Life is good like that. PS Thanks Cardinals for winning so I didn't have to look like a fool.
