~:[CH11 - Day 282]:~ The Seventh

I think most MUN advisors and others who are active in school are used to it. The daily grind of education doesn't end at the bell, as after the school day ends, the other responsibilities come into play. I am used to six day weeks, but every once in awhile, I have those weeks with the seventh day. For some, it would be exhausting, but somehow, these days are quite energizing. Yes, there are other things I could be doing, but sometimes, those things including lounging around and wasting the day away and in most cases, I rather at least be doing something productive. As I sat there after the conference, I kind of thought how the beginning of the year has been and much like most  years, it's starts out pretty rough. Some ask, aren't you tired after planning the conference? For one, as I said before, the students do most of the leg work and two, it feels like planning is so much part of my job that it has become such a routine at this point. From camp to Cow Run, De La Salle to conference, almost every other week has had an event and so a conference where I have a colleague plus student officers who are taking the lead, it makes the conference day feel so much easier than the previous weeks where I was at the forefront. The weekend definitely had its moments and yes, I am glad it's over, but if you asked me if I would rather be resting on this seventh day of the week, I'd pick being at the conference almost every time. Tomorrow will be tough due to the conference hangover, but it will be great to chat with my freshman to see how things went. In life, we can get quite busy, but when you enjoy what you do, you really don't think about it, even if it's your seventh day working for a particular week.
