"Oh don't worry, it's just more complaining from the tired girl...move along"

Let’s just make it clear right now. I am not complaining. I am really grateful that today was (pretty much) my last day at *that job*. I am excited about the C.N.A program. I really, really am. I am happy I will have a marketable skill that will bring in enough money to take care of business.

But.

I am so tired. So, so tired. My classes are from 6am-3pm, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. This seems grueling. Since taking the morning shift at B and R, I have been getting up at 5am. I suppose I should be used to getting up early. Sadly, I am not. Do you know what a huge deal it is not to get enough sleep for a long period of time? To accrue a long sleep deficit? I get, on average, about 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. I have not ever been able to adjust to this lifestyle. Lately this meager about of sleep has been interrupted by frequent nightmares and regular pawing from my sleeping boyfriend (who is not even aware of his mid-sleep groping problem, and can therefore do little about it). I just want to send the kid and the dude away for a day and a night and get some rest. You know…sit around and read and sleep. Tomorrow I take Olive swimming and then back to her daddy, Wendsday I embark on 4 weeks of hardcore education.

Rest is due in approximately 4-6 weeks.
