attitudes are contagious...mine might kill you

Many people claim to have been at the right place at the right time. What about me who feel like I am in no place and no time. I feel as though I am bobbing up and down in an endless ocean with nothing in sight. Each bob brings me to the surface for some breath of air, some glimse at the sun and a possibility of hope and yet I am so tired that each time I go underwater it is harder and takes me twice as long to come up. I am slowly drowning and yet no one sees me. Sound depressing, far-fetched and somewhat ridiculous? Welcome to my life at present.
In happier news....the sun is finally out and the sky is somewhat clear. This winter has been insane and I am so glad that spring is finally hitting. This is a very good thing.
And if you are wondering if I slept last night--no I did not. :)

Goodnight, sleep tight, if you see any bed bugs, run for your life!

For the past 3 weeks I hve been having serious issues sleeping past midnight. I wake up constantly and cannot usually get back to sleep so I have compiled a list of 10 things to do when you are up in the middle of the night but to exhausted to get out of bed.

1. practice popping your jaw and relieving the pressure in your ears.
2. rearrange your pillows a billion and a half times in a failed attempt to reach the optimal level of comfort.
3. stretch the back of your legs by having a strait leg and grabbing, one leg at a time, your ankle and pulling it up near your face.
4. go over the mental list that you made during the day of all the people that had sweet falls on the way to school and laugh into your pillow so as not to wake your roommate.
5. recite the pledge of allegience
6. keep checking your clock every time you feel that it is five minutes later only to find not even one minute has passed.
7. braid your hair
8. make spit bubbles in your mouth
9. start singing 99 bottles of rootbeer on the wall
10. hit the snooze button when your alarmclock finally goes off.

This is my list of things to keep me entertained every morning (for the past three weeks) from the hours of midnight to six am. Please ladies and gentlemen don't try these things at home. Goodnight, sleeptight, don't let the bedbugs bite and dream a dragons dream. (I know that is supposed to be comforting in some sick way but does it freak anyone else out?)

Early in the friggin' morning

Well it is only 7am but I have been up on and off all night and up since 4am. It feels like forever though so I am starting to think that the hours in the early morning are twice as long. At least from midnight to six. I guess that would mean that there are really twelve extra hours everyday that I know about that everyone else is without. Maybe I should do my homework and get a million more things done..........ha yeah right.

Yesterday while I was walking to class I saw a bunch of ducks on the path in front of me. Why is it that ducks here don't migrate? I realized that I had my camera with me and decided to take some pictures of the freaks of nature. It was nice they are quite pretty. I really like walking this path to class because it is really beautiful and pointless observations like the migratory patterns of ducks and those of exhausted students amuse me. Also it is a rather excluded walkway so if I accidently start singing aloud to my ipod know one looks at me funny, well other than the ducks, so I guess we are both relatively freaks of nature.

One day I found some keys in the snow on my path............I really wish I would have known the car they went to then I wouldn't had to have turned them in to the lost and found. (sigh) :)
