i spilled my coffee at the breakfast table today. without napkins or paper towels nearby i ventured into the kitchen with no luck either. checked two closets with no success but by the time i went back upstairs and got paper towels to soak up the mess, my breakfast was cold. what a great start to a monday. greg didn't go to class today so i sat alone in poly sci. he made a good choice by not going. lecture was slow and i spent half of it 'resting my eyes'. i suck at getting sufficient sleep for my health. burning the candle at both ends only works for so long before it catches up with you. with school in full tilt and the presidency eating away at my time, sanity would be lost without the main inlet of delectation: namedly my social life. i dare not cut out partying from daily schedule so, in order to make time, i cut hours out of reading and sleep. reading gets caught up with study drugs the week before midterms and finals, but sleep never has that same chance. i often undergo the misconception that when i return to the hills i can catch up.. this has proven me wrong every trip, so i'll accept a lack of sleep regardless of my surroundings. maybe someone could give me sleep lessons... i wasn't feeling well last week and greg gave me some tools/advice. i got hooked up with earplugs, veryan root tea, and melatonin- a drug that doesn't necessarily make you fall asleep as much as it helps relax the mind to fall into a deeper sleep. combined with the Veryan root tea-which helps allow the body to switch modes to 'bedtime' very easily. i was certain to catch up. minus the noise. i live i na house with 30 guys, all of whom consider music as an interest....loud music. that's where the ear plugs saved my life. straight up was blown away as to how well they worked. i put them in and although higher trebles remained somewhat audible, the deep booming of bass was somehow prevented. awesome. i arose the next morning before my alarm clock delightfully refreshed. so that was the last time that i got a good ngiht's rest. maybe i have ahad a lot on my head... which is probably a huge reason, and won't be discounted. what's discomforting about the situation is that nothing will be changed in my habits. i probably won't get much sleep tonight, tomorrow, wednesday, or at leat until sunday. social events and a rigorous class schedule assures me that i will rise early and stay up late. sweet life. college is supposed to exist as the best days of your life, right? so maybe what i am doing is not only normal, but supposed to happen. i get more hours to live with each hour cut out of sleep. i have my whole adult life to get acquainted with the depths of slumber. well, i wouldn't be opposed to getting a full nights sleep, maybe a little tutelage wouldn't hurt... anyone want to sleep with me?
