Twinkle Twinkle

It's a Monday. You have an assignment that's due next week. You think to yourself, Seven days is pretty long. I have plenty of time to finish this assignment in time and you end up doing other stuff like going out with friends to watch a movie or play games at home. A few days pass and a friend of yours asks about the assignment. You reply that you haven't started, but say that you're gonna start in a little while. The weekend arrives and you tell yourself that you're gonna finish it so that you don't have to worry about it anymore. You sit down at your desk and get distracted by the computer. It's now Sunday night. You start panicking and rush to finish the assignment. You just realized that the assignment is really long. It takes you hours to finish it, well past your bedtime. By the time you finish, you're dead tired and fall asleep as soon as your head hits your pillow.

Does that story seem familiar? Well that's a classic procrastinating story. Alright, it's MY story. Like right now. Minus the falling asleep part though. I really am an insomniac.

Does that explain why I haven't been able to post anything lately? I hope it does. Whenever I thought of posting this weekend, I reminded myself that I have stuff to do. So I'd try to finish it all up, but end up doing something stupid like watching a bunch of YouTube videos or playing Solitaire. So in other words, I wasted all my time, so I ended up cramming.

But honestly, who DOESN'T procrastinate? Or at least who hasn't tried it? I'm pretty sure almost everyone has done that already. I mean, a student's life isn't complete unless they've procrastinated at least once. And as a college student, cramming and procrastinating are my best friends. I do it almost every time there's an assignment. Most of the time, I do them just an hour before it's due. I dunno why though. I know that it's not healthy to procrastinating since I'll end up stressing over stuff, but I still do it. I guess I've gotten used to it. Time to add cramming to my list of things I need to fix.

A word of advice from someone who knows: DON'T PROCRASTINATE. Yep, that means you, my dear reader. So ask yourself. Do you have anything you have to do right now? If you answered yes, then go do it! Don't copy me. Trust me on that.

So wondering where the twinkle twinkle title came from? Well it's because I procrastinated my ENGLRES note card making. We were given two weeks to research on our topics and make a bunch of note cards. Guess what my topic is. :> Yeah, my topic is about stars. So I just spent my last few hours reading and writing about supernovas, black holes, neutron stars, and galaxies. And now I think I'm seeing stars. I crammed a lot and stopped after 22 note cards. I hope that's enough for now.

Tick Tock: My Body Clock

So it's about 5am and I still have class later on at 9:40. And I'm still wide awake. What's up with that? I've been getting used to sleeping this late, but I don't think this is healthy. At all. Well, I don't think I'm doing anything healthy with my body. I don't eat fruits or vegetables, and I keep eating salty foods (and I'm supposed to be on a NO sodium diet, mind you. But what my doctor doesn't know won't hurt her). So if I'm so unhealthy, why am I worrying about it now?

Well since this is a blog and I know that no one's gonna answer my question, I might as well answer it myself. It's cause this sleep thing is affecting almost everything that I do. My academics are going down the drain cause I end up sleeping in class. I lose time to do my assignments cause I don't feel like doing anything productive at this hour.

Okay, this is bad. (No duh?) I don't know what I'm supposed to do with myself anymore. See, this is kinda the reason why I decided to make a blog again. I can't sleep at night (or early morning) so I end up doing useless things like playing solitaire. So I figured I might as well spill out all that I'm thinking of into this blog.

Is this what they call insomnia? I guess I should add this to my list of abnormalities that I have. This whole thing just feels weird. I know that I WANT to sleep, yet I'm not sleepy at all. I can feel myself being tired under all this, but at the same time, my body just feels restless. It's telling me that I still have enough energy to keep moving around, and I can't fight it, no matter how tired my mind is.

Sorry about my mindless ranting. I forgot that it's 5am and you're probably too tired to worry about this. Oh yeah, this is a blog, you could still read this during the daytime. Oh well. Time to close my eyes and try to sleep. Wish me luck.

And if for some reason you're also having a hard time falling asleep, here are some sheep for you to count. Hope it helps. ^^
