I'm having trouble falling asleep.

Kind of the opposite of my entry the other night. I came on and read an entry or two from the lj community I'm in and kind of calmed down. Calmed down because my thoughts were going crazy over this whole going back to school thing. It's really scary to be going back to school. I guess because it's such a huge investment of money, not to mention

Funny, I decided to wean myself off of caffeine, too! I don't like how my heart feels on it anymore, though I'm not quite sure how I will survive the overnights and early morning shifts (4 ams are so much more brutal to work!) w/o coffee.

I'm excited for you going back to school. I know from experience what a gigantic RELIEF it is to be floundering for what to do next and to finally have a definitive DIRECTION.

If I ever make it back to school, I'm going to try the online courses for what I can, too, as it seems like the anxiety and such made it extremely difficult for me to get to school on a daily basis as well.

I've never been a coffee drinker, but I found just drinking something hot sometimes helps wake you up. So I used to drink hot chocolate in the mornings at work. Chocolate has a trace amount of caffeine, but nothing like coffee or soda! Maybe you can try that out if you find you can't do without "coffee".

I sincerely think it was mostly the caffeine last night that kept me up. I feel a lot less jittery and tense now.

I'd so love to see you make it back to school too. Maybe we could end up going to the same school online together lol

I'll tell you this much though, I miss having Sam around. You know how I used to bug him in chat about schoolwork lol I sent him a message on myspace the otherday....he read it, but didn't answer. probably has no clue who I am anymore. Oh well :(

I started the couch to 5k thing today! Go me! lol I really didn't want to do it today...just didn't feel like it, but after I got done, I was so glad I did. I feel great, and now that I've started I think it will be easier to keep going. The hardest part is getting started. Really, taking that first step makes all the difference. :)

Congrats! I have not had my successful start yet...for reasons I will likely complain about in an entry later lol Technically the day isn't over yet though. I doubt that I will get to do it because I'm lazy like that, but I'll force myself to do it tomorrow.

Okay, I lied...I did start today. Ow.
