The Patron Saint of Losing Sleep

And of course my room is full of people, as seems to happen often when I feel like sleeping. Not only this, but next door, there’s a bit of a dance party going on (In a dorm room. Do you see a problem with this situation? Yeah, neither did I |:/)  Security comes around midnight, they don’t get everything sorted out until one, and as I’m sitting at my desk in the midst of this academic maelstrom (the term academic here meaning “it happened on campus”, as there was really no academia to be found anywhere on the second floor tonight, but I guess when everyone is a freshman but you, you’re surrounded by idiots, save a select few, and you know who you are.) anyway, as I sat in the midst of this maelstrom, I began to realize that I would not be sleeping anytime soon, and committed to a full night of studying, working, whatever. the only problem is, I am now sitting here at six thirty in the morning, with nearly nothing done. I blinked and tonight was over.  And when I first started doing this, a single night felt like i had all the time in the world.  It may have been all the excitement, but if the case is that I’m just getting used to the extra twelve hours, this may turn into a full blown episode of week long insomnia bouts.  We shall see though.  You win tonight father time, but we shall see if you can hold your deathgrip. We shall see…..

Deliverance (n)- rescue, recovery, or prevention from loss or danger.

You didn’t hurt me. What happened, things I had to do, that hurt me. I was doing things I wasn’t supposed to be able to do, like a person trying to lift cars, or drop three stories and land on their feet. A human being just can’t do those sorts of things, especially when they aren’t prepared.

It’s amended slightly, but then I said it, so I can do what I like :)

Ok, it’s officially Wednesday, and so far my sleep schedule has gone from non-existent, to sleep only, and now to opposite. Can I just have a normal night’s sleep for once this week? I’m not really complaining right now, because I am incredibly well rested. Incredulous?  Out of the past 24 hours, I have been sleeping for somewhere between 14 and 15 of them. This is not really a fair statement, because if you zoom out to the past 48 hours, 24 of those hours I’ve spent awake. It’s been a crazy week, not really in events, because nothing has really happened. It’s more an issue with my personal biology. Here’s hoping the next half of the week pans out….

     I find lately that my pattern of living has completely departed from the adult manner of life I was living before. I’m more than quite certain this has something to do with moving in to Kent State, which has more or less altered my pattern of activity to the following cycle of events: wake up, go to school, eat, get in to trouble, sleep, and wake up and do it all over again. This total release from responsibility (save those relating to school) has put me into a state of shock. I have not an idea of what to do with myself. I just kind of wish I was finished with college already. Maybe if i can convince the dean I already possess the proper life skills to go out into the real world, he’ll grant me a degree on honors….
