I'm At School! Hooray!
I didn't post an entry last night because I fell asleep too quickly. I decided rather than go to sleep when I got home from work Sunday morning, I would stay awake until Sunday evening, and then go to bed. This being based on the theory that if I went to sleep Sunday morning, I'd sleep most of the day, and then I'd be unable to sleep Sunday night and would instead fall asleep Monday morning, and sleep through my alarms and miss school yet again. So instead I stayed uo Sunday, and went to bed Sunday night, and I was right, I had no trouble getting up this (Monday) morning, and didn't miss school. In fact as I write type compose this, I am sitting in Holden Hall having finished my first class, and am now waiting for my next class. Hopefully this fix will last the whole week, but I have a feeling that by Wednesday my sleep pattern will have reverted back to my normal nocturnal schedule.
Part of what helped me to stay awake Sunday was the need to do my laundry. I normally do my laundry on Mondays, but this week, and next week I can't. I should elaborate that I go over Cha's place to do laundry. This has a number of advantages over using the laundry facilities at the apartments where I live. It doesn't cost me anything, except gas for the trip there and back again, I can watch tv while I'm there, and Cha usually feeds me. The downside is it takes longer 2 1/2 to 3 hours compared to 1 1/2 to 2 hours, and I can't do my homework while I'm there. Also I tend to get very depressed upon leaving Cha's. But so far I've decided it's worth it. I got to watch 3 episodes of Castle and 2 1/2 episoded of DS9 while I was there, and had a nice meal. Also I was too tired when I left, having been up in excess of 24 hours by that point, to notice any increase in depression. So my laundry is done, and actually put up for a change. Normally I leave my laundry in the basket and pull clothes out as I need them, because, let's face it, I'm a guy. However on Sunday, I emptied last week's laundry onto my bed, to make room for this week's laundry. So when I got back to my apartment, I had to put last week's laundry up to go to bed, and I just kept going and put up this week's laundry too.
Work Saturday wasn't too bad, though it was still overnight, because there was two of us there. I hope I'll be off overnight soon, because I really don't like working overnight for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is it's hard to maintain a schedule where I'm waking up in the morning when I'm working an overnight shift each week. I thought I was going to be off the overnight shift, but I've heard that the new person hired to work the overnight is no longer working. I haven't verified this, so I don't know for sure.
Anyway when I get home this evening I have homework to do for two classes at least, possibly three. So I'll be busy. Hopefully I'll have time to figure out a way to set up my tv as well. But homework first.
