EEEK

I never knew I could be so stressed I would have trouble falling asleep at night. It's actually quite amusing, if you're one of those people that can laugh at yourself (which it seems I am). I'm entering my last semester of my B.A program and am going crazy. Well, that is, going crazy internally. On the outside, I'm as cool as one can be. I know what I need to do, and I'm doing it. But as soon as the sun sets (plus a few hours because the sun has been falling asleep at 4:30pm these days), I get jittery. Finishing my work well in advance of the time I used to finish it at (let's hope this lasts), I go up to bed, and lo and behold, toss and turn for a couple of hours. Eventually, I manage to fall asleep - only to be jolted awake by a dream (not a nightmare - at least not yet) a few hours later. This continues until around 6:30am, at which time I fall into a relatively deep slumber, only to be unceremoniously kicked out of a dreamless (and thus very peaceful) sleep by the dreaded alarm clock.

Is there a solution to these crazy nerves? Well, to be honest, not really. Unless you count finishing your graduate school application quickly and prodding the admissions committee for a quick response, acing your GRE, and staying on top of things in all your classes - there's really not much I can do. That being said, I am the type of person who thrives on having a sword pointed at my neck - so who knows, maybe this pressure's good for me and I'll live to tell the tale.

And if not, Selfistan can tell it for me - well most of it that is...
