Return of the Blink (Day 16 - Day 21)


GAH. Okay, I epically failed at updating my blog for the past week. Let that be a lesson to you! Don't take 21 units, especially when you are doing two internships and working at the same time. It is exhausting! I will let the following internal monologue describe the time that was not documented...

Crazed Self: I AM GOING TO DIE. I AM SO TIRED. THERE IS TOO MUCH TO DO. I CAN'T FINISH IT ALL.
[Slow blink]
Crazed Self: NO! NO SLEEP FOR YOU. DON'T START THAT CRAP AGAIN. YOU MUST STUDY. [Raise hands to the sky] ALL THE STUDYING!
Lazy Self: But... But... It's cold. Just hop in bed for a little while. Surround yourself in the warmth and fluffiness. Look at Stella. Don't you want to relax like that?


I want to be a beagle in my next life.

Crazed Self: Well, I am cold. I guess I will lie in bed while studying... BUT! I WILL SIT UP, SO THE TEMPTATION TO FALL ASLEEP SHALL NOT CLAIM ME. AT NO POINT WILL MY EYES LEAVE THIS BOOK.

[Yaaaaaawn]

[Eyes dart to clock]
Crazed Self: DAMMIT!

Don't Blink (Day 10)

Schedule

10:00-10:50 Organic chemistry lecture
1:00-2:50 Neuroanatomy lab
3:30-5:30 Work

After lab, I raced home to get a snack, drop off my school stuff, and get ready for work. My traitorous eyes had another plan...

Ten minutes from that moment, I needed to leave for work, but my determination to study for that remaining time dissipated quickly. I climbed into bed and closed my eyes. I did not actually fall asleep, but it was so nice to just curl up in a ridiculous number of blankets with the afternoon sun peeking through the blinds.
