reality leaves a lot to the imagination

Been feeling sick, and sleeping doesn’t seem to be helping. What a terrible week.

My lack of sleep during the school week reached a new low this week. On average, I’ve been getting around five hours per night and maybe even less if it’s the night before an exam. Oddly enough, I usually manage fine until Thursday or so when I start feel the lack of sleep kicking in. You all know the symptoms, your eyelids get incredibly heavy and you struggle to keep them open during lectures and other boring activities. You find yourself able to fall asleep just about anywhere.

This week however, it was pretty bad. I had a midterm on Wednesday and Friday, so obviously right from the start of the week I was already lacking more sleep than usual. By Wednesday I was already feeling drowsy most of the time and by Friday, things just got weird.

I would fall asleep without even knowing it. One second I was writing down notes, and the next second I was opening my eyes, realizing that I dozed off. So ridiculous. The best one would probably be when I was on the bus commuting home, and I was scrolling through the artists on my iPod. The next thing I know, I was opening my eyes, holding my iPod in my hand and discovering that I had fallen asleep while scrolling through the music library.What the hell, right?

I’m sure it’s totally unhealthy the amount of sleep I get during the school week but I can’t do much about it. I can’t help but scoff at my friends who complain that eight hours of sleep aren’t enough for them. But that’s one of the reasons why I love weekends. You get two days to sleep in. So good.

My friend pointed out today that our technical writing professors looks like the Joker because she always has this smile on her face (to the point where it gets kind of scary). Now I see the Joker every time I look at her.

Earth science can have such ridiculous terminology. I have been studyinging about facies. No, not feces. Facies.
