Nocturnal

I will admit that I'm not as enthusiastic about blogging anymore, but this is just temporary. In a few months, my enthusiasm will be back up again.

I'M DONE WITH SUMMER TERM! SINCE LAST WEEK! AAAAHHHH!!!! Overall, I think I did a good job on all of my finals, but my chemistry isn't still looking fine. Heck, I'm retaking the class. Right now, I'm spending my free weeks in my apartment... lame. I'm still figuring out where I'm living for the fall semester. Long story as to why it has taken me so long. In the meantime, I have become nocturnal.

Before finals came, I would go to bed really late--like 3 am. I had a final test at 7 am last week, and fortunately, my roommate gets up at 5:40 am. So I had him wake me up, although I only had less than two hours of sleep. So the following night, I went to bed at 10. I was so excited to get up early the next day, which was the start of my vacation. Right around midnight, my roommate turned the lights on--unaware that I was already in bed--while having a conversation with my other roommate. Light and noise. I am usually a heavy sleeper, so it takes a lot to wake me up; but it was this one particular night that all that could go wrong went wrong. Apparently I wasn't sleeping so deep, and the light and noise triggered me to wake up. I didn't get back to sleep until 6 am, despite my efforts to prevent this from happening.

So yeah, I was instantly nocturnal. So one night, after all but one of my roommates were checked out, I decided to pull an all-nighter and just go to bed early the next day. It worked well, and I kind of enjoyed it. I fell asleep for two hours in the process, but all that it did is that it delayed my sleeping time. Not bad, really. The night after, I went to bed at 10 again, only to wake up for some unknown reason at 11:30 pm. ARGH! I was feeling all cozy in my bed, it was pitch dark, the apartment was as silent as a library---I'm not exactly sure what caused this. I have rituals before I go to bed and I didn't do them, maybe that's why. I don't know if it's just me, but whenever I don't do them, I get worried at the back of my mind. I didn't get back to bed until 6 am again, and I was back to being nocturnal.

So here I am again, pulling an all nighter to "reset" my body clock. I'm not really sure if this is the effective way, but it seems like it.

Anyway, my roommate did get married.

Happy rest of the summer.
