Weekend what?
Didn’t weekends used to be for taking time off, sleeping in…? I think I remember something like that, a very long time ago.
This weekend I have six lessons. I’m also proctoring my class’s exam tomorrow morning. When you add it all up, including drive-time, it comes out to something like 18 hours.
At least I have four hours during the exam to work on homework and whatnot. I think next week is actually some sort of no-homework week at HBU, though…whatever ‘SEW’ stands for. The workload there is light anyway. I’m taking a history class and an english class, and between them I have to write all of FIVE PAGES over the entire quarter: one three-page paper and one two-page book report. They even break it down for you: “Your essay must be about this. Make sure you consider this, this, and this, and answer these four questions. Paragraph 1: blah-di blah….” It’s like middle school, but without all those rowdy, hormonal middle-schoolers. I think there are a couple of tests in each class, and an oral report or two and a few quizzes, but none of those look like they’ll be too difficult.
Anyway, I have to be up at 7:00 tomorrow, so I’m off to bed. Today was a much better day, as far as work and focus go. I saw my shrink yesterday and we doubled my dose of Wellbutrin, so that should give me a boost for a while. Hopefully it’ll stick.

The last time I woke up after 9:00 was about two weeks ago … well, there was that one time that I woke up at 10, but that was after going to sleep around 4 so it was not like I got caught up on my sleep … sleeping in sounds really nice right now.
