Killing myself again.
So I've done it again. I've picked up a midnight-8am shift. On top of it however I worked 4:30-midnight right before it. So, in other words, I'm working 4:30pm Wednesday until 8am Thursday. Followed again by the usual classes. I have lost all control of my time management, and the first thing to be affected is my sleep. I'm not getting the hours I should be, and it's causing me to drag a little here and there. It's currently 5:00am and I've only got 3 more hours to sit through for this shift. 3 hours.... seems like it should go by like nothing considering I've been here for almost 11 hours, but I know these will be the slowest 3 hours of the entire shift.
I'm still mildly sick, which doesn't help my exhaustion, which doesn't help my sickness.... it's a terrible circle.
Anyway, I'll suffer through until 6, then go down to Uni Mart and get my coffee, then come back up and try and keep myself awake until 7:30 when people start arriving for the day shift. I'm not sure if I'll sleep during the 1.5 hours between work and class; my body tells me I will, but my mind tells me I'll feel like crap if I do. So we'll see. My 3 hour afternoon nap I had planned is being severely shortened due to making plans for lunch due to extenuating(sp?) circumstances. I'm just hoping my face doesn't fall into my food.
I know my last class I'll be dozing through the entire thing, it's almost not worth going. However, I feel bad blowing off classes that my friend has to suffer through simply because I chose to work. If I'm going to pick up these shifts, I'm going to deal with the consequences. I'd never stand you up Caitlin! Good luck though waking me up from the couch at 4:10 lol.
Alright, I think that's it for my little blurby-doo, I'm gonna go try and read my book again and count down the minutes to 6am. I don't want my coffee too early or else I'll need/want another cup before my shift is over.
I can't wait for my next two paychecks.......
