A Mighty Fine Life

Well, I am crazy tired, but my eleven day work marathon is complete.

And now, to a well deserved bed, with no alarm clock set.

I am learning lots of cool stuff, and meeting lots of amazing people, but good lord, this "vacation" is exhausting. i almost (but not really) wish we hadn't be able to reschedule this interview, because I am so freaking tired. But on the other hand, this is one of the few interviews with an actual writer, so here I go.

Tiiiiiiiired.

(Also, the dreams I had last night? Totally bizarre. The one with the BK people dressing up for Halloween was relatively normal; the one where I was both a cat and a vigilante superhero saving a colony of cats from a serial killer? That one was weirder, and exhausting, as it was all about running all over the place. And being a cat didn't mean actually being feline; I'm not quite sure what was up with that. It was very odd.)

I get so worked up about not oversleeping sometimes that I can't sleep at all. Last night was one of those occasions.

Arrg.

Anyhoo, I'm heading out of town for a bit; I'll catch up with all you party people later in the week.

I suppose that taking a final requires getting out of bed, huh? Sigh.

I haven't been sleeping well and I don't know why not. I just can't make my brain turn off for long enough to fall asleep, which is quite disconcerting, as I nearly never have trouble sleeping. Sleeping a lot has always been my shtick.

And thanks to the lack of sleep, I now feel vaguely ill. So tempted to call in sick to my internship, but didn't. Go me.

Groaaaaaaaaaaaaan.

Goals for today: work out when/where I'm getting the MRI with the health center
schedule a hair appointment for Saturday
track down a needle and thread to fix my dress straps
write at least one cover letter
fix my resume
sleep at least eight hours
stop feeling ill

Good luck to me.

I went to bed at midnight, was asleep within about five seconds, and slept straight through until my nose started bleeding profusely at 6:30. Got a tissue, stopped the bleeding, and fell back asleep within five seconds. Woke to my alarm at 8:30, surprisingly refreshed.

Though I could easily sleep another five hours.

But at least this morning, I can get out of bed...

I'm so freaking exhausted and I don't know why.

I usually go to bed between three and four, and get up at between 10:30 and 11 so I can get to class at 12. Last night I went to bed at 1:30, and can barely even drag myself up half an hour early so I can go to my discussion section. But I can't miss my discussion section (which might not even be happening because of the fucked up Brandeis schedule) because I also have a huge ass paper due in that class next week and have to talk to the TA.

I don't feel well. Bleh.
