Once upon a time, I was in music school, and I was the happiest girl in the world, laughing constantly and running around. People said to me "I wouldn't want to live in your dorm!" No one knew where I lived. In fact, I once startled the heck out of someone while coming out of my room because she (and others) thought that no one lived there. This past Monday night during a staff retreat, my superintendent commented about my endless supply of energy. I told him that once I hit the pillow I'm asleep. After dinner I went to the pool and hung out with a colleague who's pretty quiet and even went into the hot tub (not my thing but it was still fun with her!). After a while, though, I was done. I needed my shower and my Kreuzworträtsel (crossword puzzles -- I just like the German term) and quiet and my sleep. I think it was early, but it had been a REALLY intense day. My "endless energy" lasts about 8-10 hours and then i get... done.
