Sleep

I titled this blog "sleep" because I have had such a lack of sleep lately that I feel it deserves to be put to use a little more. I am not a morning person, at all; I would rather stay up till midnight, but I am having a hard time finding enough hours of the day to sleep. I feel like I always have something I could, or should, be doing. I feel like I am back in kindergarten, except the teachers never tell me to get out my towel for nap time; instead they hand me yet another assignment and I am as tired as I was before I received it. Sometimes I wish I was still young, younger. It's funny how little you appreciate your childhood while it is happening. Only now that I can look back at "play-time" or even better, "nap-time," I realize how fortunate I was to have time for anything remotely close to playing or napping. I know it is just me complaining about the adjustment, but sometimes I wonder why I ever wanted to grow up so fast? On a better note, I am finally starting to understand math; only a little, but it's better than nothing. I also get to go home this weekend, which I am so excited about. It will be my first time home since I moved up here, and while I originally wanted to stay an entire month at first, I could not be happier for a weekend at home. I am super excited to see Brett, and my family, including my puppy and kitty who I am missing terribly. It is also my best friend's nineteenth birthday and she will be back in Grinnell as well therefore we are having a movie date. I am surprised that I am a little sad I will be missing that game here though, which I didn't expect. Enough rambling though, I am just wasting more precious time I need to be spending in the library.
