No sleep = sick
My body is pretty simple. If I don’t sleep I will get sick. Usually I can push it for a few sleepless nights before getting sick though. I suppose in my old age of 24 though I get two … definitely not three nights of bad sleep. That third is apparently the one where my body says, “Well eff you too!” And the sickness arrives. Luckily, for me, my body bounces back pretty...
It is beautiful outside today.
WatchI hope they play it in Orlando.

Clearly we have not met, UCF.

UCF has the cutest socially awkward hippies
Good morning world!
Today, although a very long day, is pretty much my Friday. I am finishing up my 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. shift now. Then, I’ll drive home for a nap and breakfast. Three classes with one test await me at UCF. After my Mass Comm test I’ll race to the second floor to hear our guest speaker Arlyn Hernandez who is the associate editor of WaterSki Magazine.
I am pretty stoked about all of it.

Also, probably the reason people are shocked I can read.
For one 1 a.m. is bedtime ...
So, when I got up to get ready for work @ Wesh this morning, at 1 a.m., my best friend and roommate, Stef was still awake. She doesn’t typically go to bed early which works out perfect for me. I don’t have to be as quiet and we can chat the entire time I get going. 1 a.m. is much easier to handle when you can gab your way through it.
Lunch buddy.
Having lunch on campus with my insane friend from Ireland, Susan Andrea, today. I am very excited to hear what trouble she has been getting into lately. Especially since she missed my 90s party.
