Finding a routine

We have a high school team here from a private Christian school in Jupiter, FL, plus three college girls from NY (I think there's close to 40 people with both students an leaders. I lost my notes so I can't tell you for sure). There are 12 sites to cover so on one hand I feel like I'm being run ragged trying to get all the interesting stuff on camera from as many sites as possible each day but on the other hand I've been surprised to find a couple of precious hours here and there in the evening when I feel on top of things enough to just chill for a while. I think I'm finally starting to figure out a system or rhythm to this whole thing.

I've had the wonderful and indispensable help of Alicia, Nate, and the new team directors Josh and Vicki on various days (there's absolutely NO WAY this could be done without them!) but I'm REALLY looking forward to the summer intern that's coming who will be working solely with me! Having a three-person "crew" would be absolutely ideal, but we'll have to make do with just the two of us. We'll probably have to snag Josh and Vicki as much as we can to help, but they have their own jobs too. Hey, if there is anyone out there who loves videography and has a steady hand, doesn't mind bugs, is over 18, and wants something to do over the summer (or even before), call me! ;-)

So, it's 9:30 p.m. right now and I've finished putting all the footage from today on the computer. I'm not going to edit it right now because I'm tired and fighting a cold (in a warm-climate country--go figure!) and I want to relax for a couple of hours before going to bed. A typical day for me during an outreach is usually from 6:20 a.m. to 11-ish p.m. After the first couple of days, if I get the footage I need of the team's morning devotional activities, I can sleep in as long as I'm down at the main building for breakfast by 8:00. 

And I think I'll sleep in tomorrow, if I can; my internal alarm clock can be so annoying...
