I hate losing sleep. Especially when I have dreams laden with work-related images. 0.o I'm so tired. =( I hope my non-studying day tomorrow will help me get some sleep tomorrow night, before my test on Friday.

I might try to run around with the kids today to see if that helps. Short of taking sleeping pills, I wish I knew of other remedies for sleepless nights. =?

I'm still working on this stupid paper. It's my fault. I had very little motivation to get this done today, so I spent a lot of my time being productive elsewhere. Fortunately though, the afternoon was a little more productive.

I'm easily annoyed right now, but I'm not really sleep deprived. My emotions are running high. I feel alienated from everyone this week, and I feel it's my schoolwork's fault. Heh. I know. Inanimate objects cannot do anything of the sort, unless I let it. I guess I'm letting it. =P

It's now 2:36am. I'm almost done with my paper due for Thursday. Two mini-sections and a conclusion, and I think I'm good for sleep. Stinks that I'll have to be up in a few hours anyway to get ready for class. Why, oh why doesn't my brain ever want to work on an early schedule??

---

Now it's 3:27am. One more section, but my brain's fried. I have to get ready in about 3 hours to go to class. I didn't read for this class. I think I need to stop, and finish it later. I'll need to cut out some things because I'm already reaching my page limit. I have at least another 2 paragraphs to go.

The sequel to Sleepless in Seattle. /cheese

I've been having some trouble having full, restful sleep for the past few nights. I can't tell whether my body's telling me that I've had enough, or if my mind is telling me that there are too many thoughts in my head to stay asleep. =?

It's the 3rd full week of classes, and I'm still feeling exhausted and slightly anxious. I do about 12-hour work/class days at least 3 times a week, and it kinda stressing me out. On second thought, it not "kinda". It sucks. I can't wait until I'm done. I go to bed around 11 because I can't keep my eyes open, but I start my restlessness around 4:30 or 5am, waking up at about every half hour until I am up.  I'm trying to keep up with all my readings, but I seem to find myself falling behind more and more.

I try to get myself to just do the work and not complain, but somehow my mind can't stop recycling the thoughts. They make me more anxious, and then unmotivated to do any of the work unless I absolutely have to. On top of that, I hate doing homework reading. Policy and Research aren't my cup of tea. The Hubby illustrated this lack of motivation very well last night in this dialogue:

"Babe, that's too many shows!! How am I supposed to get any homework done when there are all these shows to watch?!?"

As a matter-of-factly, "It's not like you're doing it anyway."

*shock and laughter* "Yeah. You're probably right."

"Don't worry, I'm sure a few of them will suck."

0.o

Though it was funny last night, it's sadly true, and I need to get myself out of that habit, otherwise I'll end up crying with stress all semester. Can't have that. I think I'll need to call that psychologist now to whom I was referred. Maybe he can help me refocus myself and find other avenues of anxiety-relief  =?

It should be time for sleep, but I'm still packing. My sleeping's been off this week, so I feel exhausted right now. However, I must stay positive and not be my usual, whiny self. Heh.

Hmm. What happened since this morning? A few things. I got back my take home midterm, and did pretty well. I went all over the place to look for crap to eat for lunch (always seems to be a major craving when The Hubby's away), and found potato wedges with fried chicken. Internship activity was pretty light: I made playdough with the kiddies, and did paperwork. Making a mess with the playdough was the most exciting part of the evening. =)

I just finished watching LOST and Survivor: Fiji. I'm almost done packing, so it's just about time for bed.

Nighty night!

Got to sleep in for the first Saturday in a loooooong time. I woke up about 30 minutes ago because the sun was just too bright and weird dreams about wedding stuff again. Now that I've been up for a bit, I'm hungry. Not sure what to have. Maybe some eggs and rice with tuyo (these stinky little fish, yum!).

What does the rest of the day hold? Not sure, except there are a few people I wanted to call, and a load of laundry that needs to be done before The Hubby's trip. Right then, I should get to it.

For some reason, I woke up this morning before the alarm went off...at 6... 0.o

I'm not complaining, since now I can putz around for a bit before work without feeling guilty. =P I even did my AM Yoga, without rushing. =D

Right now, The Hubby's toasting the waffles I made last night.

I think we'll be taking the kids to see The Bridge to Terabithia. It's the only kid-friendly movie I see listed on Moviefone, and it's our scheduled activity today at work. Hopefully, the kids will like it.

---

It's supposed to be kinda warm today and partly sunny. I'm enjoying the weather change very much. Yesterday, I was outside for a bit without a coat. =)

---

I think my time for putzing around is just about up. I need to eat and get ready now. I think today will be a good day. *keeps fingers crossed*

...because I'm sooooooo tired! I felt like I just went to bed, before hearing the alarm go off this morning. Bleh. On top of that, I have class today until 8:40 tonight, and I still haven't caught up on reading. Guess we all know what I'll be doing this weekend. =?

People around me have been having babies. My sorority sister had hers last month. An old coworker gave birth to hers, and my other old coworker is having a baby shower next month. People keep asking me when I'm getting a bun in the oven. Why must I have babies now? My parents are still adjusting to me being married. Feh. Let me enjoy some of my marriage first before little ones come around! Thank you.

Other people have been trying to talk the hubby and me into getting a pet, specifically a dog. We've been thinking about getting a dog for a while; however, we've decided that we should fix up the condo before getting one. Unfortunately, I couldn't resist going to The Puppy Shoppe near our place to look at the puppies. They're sooooooo cute!


Shiba Inu--The shop owner said they're good condo pets. Minimal barking. No shedding.


English bulldog--my hubby likes them because of the wrinkly face. He is pretty cute. Minimal shedding (a plus for me). Good household pet too.

I had trouble sleeping last night. Not sure what it was. Thinking too much again, and not enough posting in my LJ I think.
