hollybrookeI love it when I'm studying my ass off into the wee hours of the night, watching "Gilmore Girls" at the same time because seeing how motivated Rory is makes me want to study even more. Then I have my little fit around 2 AM when I find myself downing yet another cup of coffee but about ready to crash and I can't cram anymore crap into my brain. And then I say to myself, "I am not even majoring in Earth Science, why am I being so adamant about doing well?" And then my eyes scan across "orogenesis" and how it's the processes that collectively result in the formation of mountains, and I think to myself, "That'll be the winning answer on Jeopardy, no doubt."
Then my head crashes on my pillow and I get maybe four hours of sleep until my alarm goes off at 6 AM, like it does every morning...even though I don't really need an alarm clock to get up at 6 AM. I've been getting up at 6 AM every morning since sixth grade. It's ingrained in me like clockwork now. I'm better than the damn roosters. (And BTW, I live near a farm. I can hear fucking roosters crowing around the time I wake up.) It's hard for me to sleep in because my internal alarm clock has me set to wake up at around 6 AM every single morning. And for all of you who did Rocky Horror with me...think of how hard it has been for me to get home from the Crossroads at around 3:30 AM, then turn around and have that internal alarm clock wake me up at 6 AM!!
It's no fun functioning on less than 5 hours sleep. You can feel how exhuasted your body is. You can feel it in how you yawn, when you brush your hair, when you turn your neck, when you eat.
I take into this that at least I don't have to work tonight after classes. I don't have to work again until Thursday. Right now, I'm trying to dig up some basic information about the "No Child Left Behind" act for my position paper. And the way it looks, I'll be finishing up all of my final stuff by my frickin' birthday. So all of my celebration plans for hitting the big 2-6 (whoopie-doo, twenty-six! I feel so old!) will have to be postponed till after the 8th.
I just made my car payment. I am PO again. This sucks. And I am hungreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
