Don’t Close Your Eyes Yet

I can’t believe it. I only slept for just two hours yesterday! Two cold hours. And not at home. Emily and I were at Maellen’s house to continue building our database project. We should have done more if not because of Silberschatz! Damn. Anyways, I was fighting off Mr. Sandman last night with all my might. Of course, sometimes I thought I failed but all of a sudden I just woke up. Usually, 11PM is the moment wherein Mr. Sandman K.O.’s me to slumber. Sometimes if I fight back, he’d put pepper in my eyes. But yesterday was a different thing. I put up a good fight. The battle between Mr. Sandman and I reached 4 in the morning. And then he won. Nevertheless, it was a long fight.

I had to wake up 2 hours later so I could go home and prepare myself for the non-productive interview which I regret going to. I went to school after, on high. I bought for the first time Nescafe Freez Latte to kill the drowsiness. Nothing happened. I was attentive in class. But I looked very tired, I know. I had to miss my 4PM class because I can’t take it anymore.

Anyways, instead of going home, I got myself treated to a strawberry parfait in Ice Castle. Thanks Cath, Jenny and Jean. They enticed me to eat instead of going home right away.

When I reached home, I never slept. Until now.

I know a lot of college students are also experiencing the same dilemmas. Less sleep and more work. School work. March can really be demanding. This is where the problems start surprising you, attacking you stealthily. Our finals week is next week. I am gonna be in my worst state then. Boo hoo.

Anyways, for those who are getting less sleep like me because of school stuff, don’t forget to catch up later on your sleeping hours. Rest is important because no rest means no life. Fail. Just eat well and have some vitamins or fruits. And water, yeah. In a matter of days, everything would be over. I hope.

Good luck to all the students! May your grades be friendly to you.
