Drowning in essays

Saturday, March 31, 2007

Yup the time of the semester has arrived, much to my chagrin, even though I have been through it many many times already but still. And I am drowning in the tears of my crying essays.

This part is for me, and for those struggling with me, no doubt some sort of inspirational pyrotechnics to get me going: Live essays... Breathe, eat, sleep essays.

I think I'm losing my stamina. Last sem, I could go on for two whole weeks living essays (literally as well, because everything is done on my bed) and hardly sleeping. But this sem, after clocking like a total of one night's sleep in two nights, I feel like I can hardly function already. It's not just a matter of wanting sleep anymore... I need sleep. Ugh. Maybe I'm reliving my childhood again, where I usually need at least ten hours of quality sleep to maintain my day. Now I need approximately 9 hours every night so I can be the cheerful, non-ditzy self minus the eyebags and constant yawns and complaints for sleep. Erm, which is obviously not what I'm getting right now.

Not enough sleep equals to what I call the helium effect, first coined by Xiaohui I think, back in the narrative structures days ha. The brain is overworking and high on information, which the body transmits cheerfully and in a most ditzy fashion, often ending up in high-pitched, sonorous laughter that goes like: "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..." or something like that.

Er. And if you're about to say that I'm usually like this on normal days.... I AM SO NOT LAH. Heh.. I'll be prepared to defend myself on the grounds that I didn't have enough sleep (enough means 9 hours every night which is like never) so just you know. ;)
