Zombie Apocalypse

Last night at a teen lock-in, I volunteered with other staff from WBCWS.  The theme was surviving a zombie apocalypse.  I now have a super awesome shirt that says "I Survived Zombie Apocalypse Training" with zombies on it.  After picking up a couple girls who needed a ride, I arrived at SGU's multi-purpose building at 8pm.  By this time, I had already drank one double-shot Starbucks coffee drink from a gas station.  I was really tired before the night started, but that was all it took to get me through the night's events:

-From 8pm till 11pm, I signed kids in and got permission slips from parents.
-Marathon of The Walking Dead and other zombie movies began and continued all night.
-Students did get-to-know-eachother exercises.

-11pm everyone is locked in.

-Self-defence training.  We learned how to take down the slow zombies, fast zombies, a mob of zombies, and people trying to take our supplies.  This included getting out of a chokehold...it was legit!

-Then two girls and I did face painting to "zombify" people.  Some of the ones I did looked okay...but one was my masterpiece: guts coming out of his eyes (per his request).  It looked so freaky!

-At 1:30ish, nobody was asking me to paint their face, so I joined some girls passing a volleyball in a circle.  It had been tempting me for a while.  My fingers have been itching to play.

-Super warm and sweaty, I retired from volleyball.  Watching from the sidelines, I ended up playing catch with a football.  Third catch jammed my finger.  I kept playing.  Right away it started swelling.  Luckily I thought to take my ring off before my finger grew a couple sizes.  My now puffy finger feels naked without my ring.

-Then I played volleyball again.  It didn't even bother my finger much!

-Sat and chilled for a bit.

-While fetching a bottle of water, a staff member asked me if I knew how to ref.  I told her I play basketball.  At about 4:30am, I was the ref for three basketball games going to 15 (including the championship game).  I've decided that I'm an awful ref because I don't call many fouls.  I also can't multitask: someone else kept score for me.

-I then chilled for a bit.
-Breakfast
-Clean-up time.

-After taking leftover food to WBCWS, I went home and to bed at 6:30am.

Waking at 3:30, I've just been relaxing.

Church tonight at 7pm!
