Thursday morning I woke up way earlier than I wanted to. My alarm was set for a cozy 11:00 am since I had nothing to do for the day. But instead, I woke up at 7:00 am, wide awake after 4 hours of sleep for a whole lot of nothing. I spent a few hours on campus since it was the first day of classes. Read the first chapter, took notes, and even did some of the homework problems for both of my classes, which I don't start until later today. I started reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis while I did some people watching on a bench near the Union, needed some fresh air in between Analysis and Abstract Algebra sessions. The first chapter was good, still setting up things for the story it seems. It was the basis for the scene in the movie where they have dinner with the two emo looking downtowners and Patrick Bateman goes on that long spill about all the problems of the world that we as Americans must champion. Anyway, then I biked to the grocery store, where I forgot to buy sandwich meat.
At home I did some chores, read some news, blah blah blah. About 8:30 pm I started feeling very tired, so I decided that since I had work at 4:00 am Friday morning that I ought to take this chance to crash out. To be honest I was trying to hold off falling asleep as far as I could take it so that I would stay asleep until about 3:00 am. 11:00 pm rolls around on Thursday night and something odd in my dreams stirred me to wake up. Once again, I am wide awake after little sleep. Kevin and Brian happened to be at the house, so I got out of bed and hung out with them for a while. I knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep so I stayed up, ate a couple PB&J's, and watched some Sopranos until Kevo crashed.
Today I have work at 4:00-8:00 am, classes at 9:00 and 11:00 am and then tonight Trebuchet is playing at the Boiler Room. Maybe I can find some sleep in between study time and party time. Tomorrow I have a family get together...its been a year since my jaw was broken at a party for my cousin's newborn son. This weekend is his first birthday and I'm going back down there with my family to celebrate, again. Lets hope that my face can stay intact this time.

best wishes for your face, daversham!
ReplyDeleteAvoid the sleeping pills, if possible-- you'll find a rhythm. It's probably a mixture of the newness of the school year, your crazy work schedule, and all the social obligations you certainly have. Sleeping pills just aren't going to give you a high quality of sleep. I wish I had your problem-- I can't seem to get enough sleep, but I don't have any more time to sleep!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been on Blogger for at least a week, but I'm hoping this being your most recent update, that your face & everything else are in tact!
Yes, my face came out just fine this time :P
