Things I wished they had told us...

It's been a while since I ranted on here, so here goes my spiel.

This terms has not been good for me......In fact, it's been quite horrible. The only not so horrible part is probably the Anime club (though I sometimes have occasional treasurer fails, they were.....okay fails...). My midterms....on the other hand....
Let's not go there, it'll just make me grouchy and turn into Mourning Murtle....

I remember having a list of things that alumni's of my high school suggest to us. Little nitty gritty stuff we should know and remember for our good. Now being in 2nd year, I could probably make a whole essay on pointers on surviving university/college.
One of which will be the following:
I wish they had told us that staying awake in your class will help you in the class you will have next year....
I'm currently reading up my Chem 113 notes from last year, and only just found out that, have I stayed awake 100% in class, I wouldn't suffer so much in my Organic Chemistry right now...Okay, I'll still suffer, but probably at least some 5% less.

Vancouver winter is not very helpful in keeping me awake...actually, Vancouver WEATHER is not, in it's entirety. Either that, or something is wrong with my sleep-wake cycle. I'm pretty much on the verge of needing sleep on a "20h out of 24h" basis. Sure, I could try caffeine, but only if I want my heart stopped. Either way, sleep......has probably been the greatest contributor to pain this year for me. I probably haven't had a good sleep since......since before summer, I guess. By all means, I can wake up, move around, do stuff. But my logic drive and spontaneous creative drive is going as slow as a dial line internet. At 24kb a second, or less. Alas, not very helpful for exams that HAVE to be taken at my dinner hour.

...If this keeps on continuing, I'll probably need to start thinking about 1) Breaking my own boundary, and going to psychologists again, and/or 2) get my brain checked, whether it be checking out what the heck is up with my sleep-wake cycle, or whether my brain is malfunctioning in another manner, or both.

Though chances are, if anything IS wrong, it'll probably just be something so statistically improbable that no one in the world will have any idea how to deal with it...maybe other than myself, since my existence is statistically improbable in some way.
