I don't even know if people read this any more.
At any rate, I'm bored, because for once I don't have homework. So, a few points.
The last few weeks have been rough. And I've been trying to make it work for me, because nothing really seems to want to work itself out on its own. I've been trying to make the nights I don't sleep productive by doing homework or reading for class, but mostly doing crossword puzzles. The lack of sleep has been so much worse lately, and only exacerbated by the mess of indecision. I'm forgetting things I should be remembering, I have some hearing loss, voices sound garbled sometimes and especially on the phone. I'm mixing up words and phrases. I mean, these things happen to me sometimes but not like this, not this bad. I know it's because I'm not sleeping for 3 or 4 nights in a row and at best sleeping for 3 or 4 hours at best when I do. I tried sleeping pills, but I'm worried about becoming dependent and the ones I tried gave me horrible nightmares and restless leg syndrome when I was sitting in class. I cut out caffeine for a few days but that only made me excessively grumpy and pissed off. I have another cold, which is the 3rd one so far. My cough hasn't gone away yet. I have to take an inhaler 3 times a day now to keep from coughing. This is all because I'm exhausted.
It's frustrating, because I am just functioning with this. I want to not function, I want it to just do something, anything.
I still have no idea what I'm doing with my life. This is as much a problem as the lack of sleep. But I'm really okay, and all things considered, doing relatively well. It's funny, isn't it.
At any rate, I'm off to watch Conan and hope the dull roar of tv lulls me to a few hours of sleep.
