I'm actually starting to think that my trouble sleeping is due to a sensitivity to caffeine, from not having it for so long. Because it seems the nights I have trouble sleeping are the ones I had coffee in the morning.. Twice more and I'll be sure. I may have to give up coffee, again... *sigh*
Today, instead of paying attention in Practice Management (a most useless class, I might add) I put together a study schedule for every day between now and then end of Finals. If I follow it, I will be completely prepared to write my finals and should do very well on each of them. Now, all that remains to be seen is whether I am disciplined enough to actually -stick- to the schedule I've made...
Oooh, yucky! The High for monday is -14. Ug. I'd like to be somewhere warm now please... Cold without snow is just garbage.
Well I have to say that was the most pleasantly relaxing and stress free day I have had in some time. The most ambitious thing I did all day was pick up a few groceries, and that was mainly because I was at the grocery store -anyhow- because that's where the postal outlet is and there was a package from my mom waiting for me. Other than that I laid in bed, read a really good book, played around with recording music and compressing it so I could put it on my MP3 player, and watched a really enjoyable romantic comedy called "The Holiday" that was wonderful in that it made me laugh lots, and not cry once. *nods* And now.. I think I'll read some more, because I'm not quite ready to go to sleep. *waves and wanders off*
So, today's excitement... The school was on fire this morning when I got there. It was highly entertaining, actually. *giggles* 5 fire trucks and an ambulance (to the best of my knowledge, no one was even slightly injured)
From what I've heard, someone in one of the denturist labs in F wing poured a reactive chemical down the drain, when it was definitely -not- supposed to go there.. This resulted in copious amounts of smoke and some nasty fumes that had E and F wings evacuated and shut down for the better part of the day, with all classes in those wings canceled (why couldn't -I- have class in those wings, I ask you?!)
Everything was opened up again by the end of the day, I'm not sure how much damage there was to the lab the fire occurred in, but the only evidence lingering in the halls was a foul smell and sooty footprints leading out of that room.
Heh, I always knew that some day, my school would be on fire...
Bah! That's done then. I think I passed... the test was easier than I expected it to be, but that in it self has me worried... Oh well, it's done and it's done. Now we wait and see.
I'm taking a night off (with the unfortunate exception of a micro worksheet due tomorrow...) but compared to my week, it's an easy night. Been up since 4, and I'm bloody tired.
I think Pharmacology is going to be the course with the potential to break this year for me. I simply can not imagine anything that could be harder for me than this stupid (but yes, completely necessary) class.
For whatever reason, it seems, lately, that if I have a really bad, migraine level headache, the pain killers wont take effect unless I go to sleep for a while. As a result, I slept through Micro-biology today.. A most annoying development.
Today was a good day. This morning -totally- made up for the crappiness that was the beginning of the week. Why? Because I got to ride Erin's horse today *nods, grinning* Not for long, just a couple of turns around the parking lot, but it was bareback and we trotted and it was fun. I haven't ridden in -way- too long. I was giggling madly while we were trotting. Some times the little things are all you need.
Feeling really blah this week for some reason. Maybe it's that it's midterms, which always = less sleep and more stress, maybe it's other things, maybe a combination of both. All I know is that I sure would like to get back to the way I've been for most of the previous weeks, which was pretty damn happy. I've pretty much given up on this week, but next week will be better, right?
It's been one of those sleep dep days, it has. This morning in Radiology, I was giggling and pushing buttons until Ann told me to go sit down and not touch anything...
Damn but I hate not being able to sleep. It happens so rarely.. I honestly cant remember the last time I had this much trouble falling asleep when I wasn't sick. I actually think that the last time this happened was the last time I had the flu real bad, which was, literally, -years- ago. I had such a high fever that anything against my skin was terrible, and laying down was not even an option. How I wished I could float... I was so tired... Except, tonight, I have no idea why I cant sleep. All I know is, I have to go to school tomorrow, so I really -need- to be able to sleep. And there's not even any one on line to talk to.. *sigh*
http://www.you
This song makes me smile every time I hear it..
I am suffused by an unusual sense of well being and peace right now.
It's not very conducive to studying though...
So, yet another headache in the long saga of Angi v.s. electronic devices.
Woke up this morning, and my wireless internet connection had suddenly ceased to function, period. It would not connect to -any- of the networks withing range, either mine, or the two un-secured ones close by. Nothing. I spent almost three solid hours arguing with the damn thing this morning before I gave up.
So I get home from school, and check to see if it's magically fixed it self, which of course it hasnt. Fine, I'll take it in to the service people where I bought it. Call a cab, go to BestBuy, give it to the guy at the Geek Squad desk, and it works perfectly.
At this point I want to pull my hair out and do violent things.... *sigh*
So, long story short, same thing as -always- fucking happens. I really hate my luck with electronics.. I do.
It always happens on weekends. About an hour or two after I get up, I get sleepy and want to go back to bed...
I don't know why, but these last two weeks have just felt like hell. I'm exhausted and frustrated.. I'm so glad I'm done school at noon today. All I want to do is sleep all weekend.. Unfortunately I have way too much studying to do to enjoy that kind of a weekend... Christmas break isn't really -that- far off... right?
Some days all I need for entertainment is just being me. Especially at the end of a long day.
The words written on the study card were "Avoid in patients with liver, kidney, or pancreatic disease"
What -I- read -- "Avoid in kidneys with patient livers"
.... right Angi...heh
