I'd rather be with you, than anyone else

Mood: exhausted  Music: Big  Reading: Angela's Ashes

Last night I set my alarm clock for 7AM because I was on call. If you are on call, you call before 8AM. Since I had class at 6 tonight, I figured I would try and sneak in early and get out at a reasonable time. I’m not quite sure why, but I had a v. hard time falling asleep last night. I set the sleep timer, and fell asleep to “Forrest Gump” around 1230. I could swear I heard the movie the whole time. :/

I woke up four hours later, and flicked the TV back on in an effort to confuse my brain into sleeping more. I need noise in order to go to sleep, but I can’t have it on the whole night. Thank goodness for sleep timers!

Just as I got comfortable (knowing that my alarm clock wouldn’t be going off for another few hours), the Doctor Who theme song started playing on my phone! I was confused for just a moment, threw my covers off, and lunged for my phone. I was charging it and its plug is on my bookcase across from my bed. No one would DARE call me that early in the morning, so I knew immediately something was up. I checked the caller ID and it was my boss. My co-worker called off, so he was scrambling for extra bodies. He asked me to come in at 8 anyways, so I was set for the day, lawlz.

They know I’m a lazy cow in the mornings, but he said I was really awake this morning when I came in. He joked that I had just come home from partying and that’s why I didn’t sound that tired on the phone. The joke in the office is that I am a big party animal, and that’s why I’m so tired in the mornings. They won’t accept the fact that I have a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep, that my sleepiness is because I’m a crap sleeper.

I changed into street clothes and got some food on my way to school. I was still pretty awake but as soon as I got into class, all I wanted to do was curl up into a ball and die. I’m fighting to stay awake now. I was gonna share another story, but this is really hitting me hard. It was just go go go all day.

I’m not a morning person at all.
