Hoping to Sleep This Time.

Well, I'm off to bed, hoping to sleep this time.

Every night this past week, I've been having difficulties with sleeping. At 4 AM I keep waking up and looking at the clock, feeling like I need to be watching out for things. I wake up exhausted with difficulties in getting up. It's the same thing every night, which makes me pay attention to it.

At any rate, I'm really hoping to get some sleep, as Mama called me up earlier tonight and informed me that she, Mike, and Shelby were coming down to town tomorrow afternoon, and asked if I wanted to go to lunch with them. I'm very excited, as I've not seen them all since mid-August. Especially getting to see my sister again. I can't wait to look her in the eye and saying, "Mah boi!"

...That's one of those things you have to see to understand. XD

Today was a fun day. I didn't go to my Microeconomnics class, as it was a voluntary "only show up if you need help before the test on Monday" things. I spent that hour in the lounge, where my stupid media device froze up not even halfway in. Every three or four days, the stupid thing locks up and I have to drain it dead and recharge it so it'll work again. Irritating thing, but I'm nothing without my music.

So, Math class provided an irritating amusement. Today was our first test day, and I was fully prepared to go into class, nail the test in 30 minutes, and have the rest of the morning. When 9 rolled around, the professor didn't show up. Five minutes passed, and we started wondering. Ten minutes passed, and we were declaring our desire for compensation for the lost time. Fifteen minutes passed, and we were ready to go.

Our campus has a 15-minute rule. If the professor doesn't show up within 15 minutes of class starting, the class can leave a piece of paper with their names on it and leave. As we started making our attendance sheet, a substitute sauntered into class. She told us that, despite the 15-minute rule, if we left, she'd fail all of us. We told her she showed up 17 minutes after class, but yeah.

Fortunately, the test was easy as hell. So my 30-minute goal became a 45-minute one, and I didn't really get out any earlier than I would on a normal day. So blah.

At any rate, my head feels very heavy, as I've had an interesting night, involving a very random episode of crying and hyperventilating. Fortunately, it only lasted 8 minutes, but it was enough to drain me down to nothing. I think I needed that vent, as I'd been refraining from being too emotional the week past while attempting to get my sleeping issue in line.

Hell, maybe the abrupt emotional vent will make the 4 AM deal ease off. We can only hope.

Anyway, I'm sleepy. It's bedtime.
