GRAD SCHOOL IS HARD!!!!

Assalamu'alaikum.....

I am at work, half-asleep and going completely insane. Why? Because I slept at 6.30 am today, had class at 9am, then it was off to work from 11.30am to 2pm. And if you even THINK that my day is going to be over right afterwards, you are seriously wrong because at 4pm, I have dance class. Whoop-da-dee.

Things didn't go quite as planned this morning. I had my short assignment due at 9am on CTools and spent the whole night doing it. At 6.15 am, about 400 words short of what the maximum length of the paper should be (which is never a good thing; I used to major in bullshit paper), I decided that I have effectively run out of ideas, points and filler words for my paper. I was also feeling the starts of a pounding headache, which I then put a stop to by taking two caplets of Excedrin.

Now, by that time, my butt has been parked on the chair for about... let's see... 8 hours straight. I'm not kidding y'all, that's like a whole night's sleep right there.... which is not that unusual for a college student. What was unusual for me was... running out of words to write. I had the points... I just ran out of stuff to elaborate. To top it all of, I wasn't supposed to go to sleep 'cause the plan was to stay up, go to class, work, THEN collapse, but the moment I sat on my couch, my body just shut down (probably because of the Excedrin) . I fell asleep. When did I wake up? 11.25am, an hour after class ended and about 5 minutes before I was supposed to go to work. What woke me up? A phonecall from a telemarketer. for once they served some sort of a purpose.

So I came to work, luckily only 5 minutes late, which I apologized profusely to Steve for, and right now my tummy is not feeling that good. I was chain-eating candy all night just to keep the sugar rush up and keep me from getting sleepy while working on my paper. I'm very fortunate that while staying up kinda wrecks my day in that I can't study that well or think properly, I can still function somewhat normally. It's a good thing too that I'm not having one of those major headchaes that usually comes after a whole night of not sleeping.

Man, I so do not want to work right now... Thank god it's gonna be over in 20 minutes...
