Can't Sleep

It is too hot here where I live. I'm used to the cool and nice winters of -10ish and the springs and falls with highs of 48 to 56ish. Right now the temp is around 85 and I can't stand it. I love the cold weather. I feel like I'm melting with all of this sweat that is pooring off of me. Slight cleché I know but I am not in the mood to come up with a original metaphore.
In othe news I have met with my Eagle Advisor and I feel a lot better with creating the project workbook which I have procrastinated on for 3 years. So I am meeting with him on thurs day where I should have it all done. I have no idea if I will have it all done by then because I feel like I will be asleep on the ride home and will not get the Signature that I need to proceede with this. From this whole eagle mania that has gripped my house I have been bitched at and nagged for about 3 hours a day. I can't wait till this is over with by completion or by ageing out, I'll take whichever comes up first. I know that this is a horrible thing to say for all of the scouts that arwe reading this but in reality I do not want to receive this award everyone else wants me to get it. That will be a post on it's own so I will get to that later. Hey if I do end up making eagle then I should totally post the work book up for all of you to see what it was that I have been loathing for all of my scouting career. Sometimes I wish that I could have quit scouting.
Since I have said that I will go into why.
Reason #1) as a kid I never really had a social life. Where everyone had parties to go to I was marries to scouting. "Hey Rob I'm having a party this weekend. Can you come?" "No sorry I have to go camping this weekend." I have missed more parties to scouts then family or school commitments.
#2) There seems to be a magical expectation that happens to all scouts where they are held up to being all of the scout law which I do like what it says that everyone should be and I love it to 12 pieces but then when you have friends that don't know how to be polite and responsible they make you look bad out in public.
I can't say that I regret being in scouts because I have made a ton of friends and I have gone to some places that without this program I would have only gone in my dreams. So I guess you could say that I'm on the fence with this.
I'm going to try too fall asleep again so I will hopefully not put up another post till I am well rested or who knows I might endup doing a Freudian slip and sleep post everything.
