my interesting start to a day
decided last night it would be a fun personal experiment to see if it would be easier to make myself get up on time and go to my early class if i, in fact, didnt go to sleep in the fist place.
and you know what? here i am, 7.36 in the am, and i just showered and got dressed and am feeling perky and ready for classes and a big full day.
i also feel like i needed a really long stretch without sleep to force me back into my natural rythmn. like, i've gone so far i'm just full circle and we're back at GO! (collect $200). so i figured what better time to do this than during the weekend i will be spending with my cousins. they wear me out and i usually end up crashing not long after they do so tonight i will be incredibly tired, go to bed at a reasonable hour, and then have the energy to be up when they get up and to make brekky and do the Santa Claus Parade (a bit early? but omg excitement! free tiny candy canes! wheeeeeee) and chase them around and amuse them and then crash again then do the same thing then crash again and then get up incredibly early to go with steve to guelph to catch a bus to kitchener to be just in time to go to my classes and then i will be back on normal time. sleeping at ten and waking up on time.
whew. my system is complex.
and my eyes actually kinda... not hurt but feel thick. like, it's weird. like they're stone. blinking is an endeavor. but i dont feel TIRED which is the key.
push on through today, hilary, and all will be well.
this will be incredibly exciting today though because i have never done this before. once, at jack's i stayed up with him and we cleaned and did dishes and talked until the sun rose but then we all went home and i slept till one in the afternoon. my point being, i've never stayed up the whole night and then thought or performed the next day.
i love experiments like this one. so fun. im really excited, seriously. and proud that i made it.
yesterday (heh heh weird cos it feels like today. again the no sleeping thing.) was only so-so because people on my floor can be really mean without realizing it really and the grey's anatomy episode was completely stupid. im getting really irked at christina and burke and the whole thing that they're doing. and derek and meredith are more exciting stealing kisses in stairwells and hating eachother but loving each other. now they're just loving. bailey once again gives a solid performance that was the only good thing in this week's episode.
next week looks good though. hooray for getting american thanksgiving perks when it's not really thanksgiving.
oh, yesterday i saw a car accident. happened right in front of me. i was walking to meet nikki and gill and kristy for dinner and just BAM this white car slammed into the back of a black car. and it was intense. i felt bad cos i did kinda laugh at how sucky that had to be. and also because i thought of dane cook and people exchanging information and i laughed. i laughed, okay? so shoot me. the funny thing was that when i was walking back from dinner an HOUR later (this was a minor accident, guys. the white car's hood was all bent up and im sure the black car's back bumper was a bit mashed but seriously. nothing huge.) and the two cars were STILL there and there was a cop car and lights and a road block and jeepers. i saw the whole thing. nothing major. sheesh.
dang it's windy out there. and cold. and rainy. boohoo. i dont like weather. im sitting here in my two pairs of pants (leggings and jeans) and a t-shirt. quite comfy. except i need hand lotion.
also yesterday (actually today, um, wait, technically today but not really today but it feels like it wait no, really today, like, really early i dont know i was talking to john ask him) i was talking to john and i todl him my whole europe story. and i havent had anyone to tell it to in months and months and months and it was a rush remembering all those things and all those feelings and at one point i just put my head down on my desk and cried for a while and wished fiercely for chelsea to be with me.
it probably didnt help that i was incredibly emotional about the people on my floor being condescending, pressuring bitchy people. but whatev, right? no biggie.
chelsea:
does Mr. Lonely evict the same kind of painful nostalgia for you that it does for me? every time i hear it all i can remember and all i can picture is walking through these cobblestone streets and being so happy and feeling wild and daring and Flu and Alec singing it while they systematically erased every notion we have ever had about men. ever. miss you baby.
everyone else:
hot cocoa time. nice to have time before class in the morning. also because for the first time i feel like i need some coffee. but i dont like coffee so cocoa will do.
love
