Okay, that's a lie. We do sleep. We just don't sleep in healthy cycles, nor do we sleep when it is most beneficial to us. We sleep when we damn well please - whether that be all day long, or a total of 8 hours in three days. I tend to do both of those things. I'll go a couple of days without much sleep, then crash for 18 hours. I have a feeling the former of those two things is happening.
Yesterday, I was awake until 6:30 AM. I slept until 3. Today, I'm not going to sleep until at least 10 AM, after my final. So what am I doing with the time I'm not sleeping?
Posting this blog entry and studying. I have a final for my Medieval History course. Since I know I didn't do well on my film final, I -have- to do well on this one. Thusly I'm popping caffeine pills like candy to stay awake. My body is shaking, my heart is fluttering, but dear god am I awake. My mind may wander from the page every couple of minutes, but I'm getting a lot of reading done. I'll probably start writing drafts of the essays I'm going to have to write on the test here soon. Why? Because I'm not going to sleep. Nobody is on right now to talk to. Nothing is on TV. I have to study. I have to pass. I have to get good grades if it'll kill me.
And, at this point, that's a very likely situation.
"Oh, but Victoria, that's not healthy! You should study a little every day so you don't have to do this!"
Yeah, well, tell me that after the final and maybe I'll listen to you.
Or maybe I won't. I probably won't. I'm too goddamn stubborn to listen to anybody about study habits. I do what I please.
Maybe I'll get some more writing done tonight. Non-academic writing, anyway. I want to finish my novel so bad, and I've had a good streak of muse these past few days, so hopefully it'll last.
Also, Alice in Wonderland was fantastic. I suggest everybody drop what they're doing and go see it. RIGHT. NOW. If you don't, you fail.
...So, there's a girl in the hallway talking on the phone. Goddamn it, that bothers me. THERE ARE STUDY ROOMS. THEY ARE USUALLY EMPTY. USE THEM. I don't get internet in the study rooms, or I'd use them, so I'm in the empty lobby. But god, I'm not making noise. I'm not talking at the top of my lungs. There are people behind those doors sleeping, so make yourself scarce so they can sleep. I know I hate it when someone wakes me up because they're on the phone.
Man, this is the most ADD post ever. Blame the caffeine.
One last thing... I've discovered I hate the sound of crunching food. I hate it when someone is eating something, and I can hear it crunch in their mouth. I have this problem with my roommate. It's not something I can confront her about, because that would just be rude. I still hate it. I'm disgusted by that sound.
And sniffing. Stop sniffing. Go blow your nose or something, but do not sniff every two seconds while around me. I will shoot bad energy waves at you until you get AIDS and die.
...err...

I'm going to get back to reading about Islam.
Goodnight, America.
Good morning... other places.
