Pure exhaustion

I really want to write about a topic we discussed in class this morning, but I am much too tired to write a coherent post. So, just so I actually write something, I'm going to sum up my day.

This is only the second day of the second week of school but already I feel mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day for me to complete everything everyone wants me to finish. I definitely don't get enough sleep to keep going at this pace and I really don't know how to remedy this. My days usually start at about 8am and are filled with hours of classes, reading and homework. It's starting to become a little too stressful for my liking. But there are some highlights to my day. I love being able to come home and chat with Bug about our days and then have dinner together. I also always look forward to talking to the Boyfriend everynight. There's something about talking to him that just completely puts me at ease. For however long we spend on the phone with each other, the less stress I feel and the more I start to forget about whatever is bothering me. I'm so thankful for him [and my Bug for listening to my crazy stories of my day].

I finished everything I needed to for tomorrow. I greatly dislike having long days of class, but what can I do about it? Regardless I'm still behind on my Philosophy reading. I tried to finish it last night but I fell asleep with my book in my hand and woke up at 5am to turn off my light. I have two papers to write soon and I'm putting them off because there's so much reading to get done for classes. It's lame. My french class is horrendously easy and I feel like banging my head on the desk sometimes. We just learned the alphabet...Lame. I have this friend who is currently taking classes on campus with me and we haven't be able to meet up yet. The reason for this is because our schedules don't really match up and I'm always frantically rushing around. So when he sent me a text today to meet up, I was already on the other side of campus. I had no desire to backtrack and I told him that. Apparently I'm being unhelpful with meeting up and he wonders if we're friends at all if I don't make the effort to meet up. Yeah, so sorry if I can't drop everything when he finds time in his schedule to hang out. What about my schedule?! Argh.

Bug and I went to the grocery store earlier this evening. We once again have a bottle of wine...Merlot to be exact. There's something soothing about being able to curl up with a glass of wine after a long day. Oh and lighting some candles, of course. I can be such a girl. Anyway we made pizza for dinner- mine turned out to be heart shaped. And we had cinnamon rolls for dinner because I've had a craving for them for practically a month.

Now it's not even 9:00pm but I can already feel my mind shutting down. I'm going to curl up in a ball and watch PBS. There's a segment about dinosaurs. =] It's going to be a long week...
