And even if it sounds crazy, darling I won’t let you go.

Mumford & Sons - Hold On To What You Believe
I can’t promise you that I won’t let you down
And I, I can’t promise you that I will be the only one around
When your hope falls down
But we’re young
Open flowers in the windy fields of this war-torn world
And love
This city breathes the plague of loving things more than their creators
I ran away
I could not take the burden of both me and you
It was too fast
Casting love on me as if it were a spell I could not break
When it was a promise I could not make
But what if I was wrong
But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
And now this land
Means less and less to me without you breathing through its trees
At every turn
The water runs away from me and the halo disappears
And the hole when you’re not near
So what if I was wrong
But hold on to what you believe in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight
So hold on to what you believed in the light

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.
