Narcolepsy
Of late, because of a series of events that have transpired so far, my schedule has come to be quite packed, and I am not at all convinced that this will be a one-off thing. As such, I will probably be writing entries weekly (like this one), instead of daily, which I orginally intended to.
Let's talk about my problem with Narcolepsy first: after narrowing dozing off in many lessons (both in school and the third language centre), I now strongly suspect that I am Narcoleptic. Even though I sleep relatively early (around 10-11pm), and thus enjoy around 7-8 hours of quality sleep, I am still inclined to drift off during lessons regardless of how interesting they are.
Take this recent incident, which happened during a not so boring third language lesson, for example: I had barely endured 30 minutes of lesson before the drooping eyelids struck, and I began my descent into a seemingly infinite loop of "3 sec awake-2 sec lower head-5 sec shut-eye" cycles. Fortunately, the timely intervention from my classmates sitting behind saved me from possible high amplitude sound waves: they tapped my chair continually to ask me questions about the lesson, thereby depriving me of any chance to endanger myself.
Ok, enough of Narcolepsy. Another intriguing occurence this week is that our dear classmate, Chin Kiat, has suddenly, for no rhyme or reason, decided to become outspoken. Indeed, this unexpected adoration for talking has led him on to disclose some personal matters of other people that he strictly had no business with - to Galven, no less. As a result, some unfortunate individual has become the target of much uncalled-for teasing. Of course, Chin Kiat deserves no blame for telling, but he should seriously reconsider the wisdom of his decision to tell Galven, who has always been known to us as a very vocal and imaginative person. "Anyways", what has happened has happened, so let's not dwell on it any further (you know who you are); "LET IT GO"!
