To Sleep, Perchance to Oversleep

I wish I could do today and yesterday all over again. Yesterday I ended up staying up until four in the morning. Don't ask me why. As it turns out school had a two hour delay, as I'd hoped. I used that as my excuse to not wake up in the morning. When my eyelids finally fluttered open, it was four fifteen. In the afternoon. I was actually in danger of oversleeping, not for school, but for work. For my job which starts at five in the freaking evening. I don't know why I slept so late, I never have before. I normally don't need twelve hours of sleep to function. If I hadn't had work tonight, I probably would have just stayed in bed all day, said "Fuck the world, it can wait until tomorrow."

Sleep for some reason has been a constant struggle for me this year. It's never been quite as much a problem as it has in the last three months. I'm showing up late for school constantly, I can never get to bed when I want to. It's a habit that's proven pretty hard to break.

So December 17, 2008 basically didn't exist for me. It was wiped off the calendar of my brain. I'm going to try to make something of the night, though. There's a gift exchange in English class going on, I think (hope) next week. We have to make something, it can't be store bought, and I think I'm going to start that tonight. I'm actually pretty excited about it. I'll be sure to post a picture when it's done.

Good night.
