Troubles Sleeping.

I would take a bullet for you, I would cross any line--I'd swim across the sea. I would take a bullet for you...I would lose it all--I'd take my fall, to show you it's for real.

This morning I set a personal best record as I sped from home from visiting my family this weekend. A trip that has normally taken me two hours and fifteen minutes at best (a three hour trip to those who obey speed limits), took me exactly two hours this morning. As I hit the city limits I realized that my hopes of rationalizing not going to class this morning (due to exhaustion from the weekend) with the fact that I didn't make it into town in time--wasn't going to happen. I barely had time to park, run inside (without taking my bags out of the car), lock up Holly, throw together a school bag and get my bike out of the garage--thankfully, my prof was late this morning which gave the appearance that my fashionably late entrance was ontime.

Despite being tired and classes giving the facade of being longer in duration today, I did actually manage to pay attention for the whole class time in all my lectures today. You know what is even more amazing? The fact that I understood what was going on in Biochemistry without having to reread the notes or look at the textbook. Amazing...

Thought: Maybe I should attend class physically and mentally exhausted more often--perhaps I'm a better student when I'm drained. Go figure. Speaking of 'smarts', I am reminded of a ridiculous article we had to read for sociology that linked obesity to low IQ. The topic alone makes you question the governments ability to select which studies should and shouldn't be funded.

Well, as much as I'd love to stay here and chat--my workload doesn't seem to be getting any lighter so I must bid thee adieu. Keep on smiling...
