Of Rest and Recooperation
I just woke up....the hurricane is said to hit us in the next few hours. Not the eye just the wake. Quita and I got stuck in a down pour coming back from lunch around 5. At about 6 we both fell fast asleep. Quita fell asleep before me and woke up once I think to turn out the lights. I'm awake now trying to down some liquids. I gave blood yesterday, I think I said that yesterday. The lady told me to drink a lot of fluids and get plenty of rest in the coming days. Of course my idea of extra fluids was um like half a bottle of water and extra rest was sleeping from 3-8 instead of 4-8 and then today was Thursday so basically I had class from 9-3 non stop.
So point being...I felt it today. I think I worried Quita a little I don't mean to. She's a very caring person so I can't exactly let myself not rest enough or not eat enough and on top of that I'm having some cold/sinus issues do to constantly getting rained on and then coming into our artic room. I have to be careful around her because she'll worry and not say anything. So when I woke up I walked to Cali's room (Cali doesn't drink soda) and asked for a cup of juice since all we have in our fridge all we have is soda. Downed that and now I'm here....still thirsty.
I kinda wish Quita would wake up but she needs some rest too. We've been going to bed past 2 am everday for about 2 weeks and then getting up at 7 to go to class and work. It would be fine if we didn't do anything all day but that's not the case. We need to alter our lifestyles a bit...problem is during the day we really can't study. So we usually study from 9-12...sadly lately we can't sleep til 3...course it doesn't help the fact that around here the misc. boyfriends and friends call after midnight. I think we all may have to cut those.
I have 3 books of the Iliad to read for tuesday and 3 stories by Flannery O' Conner...whom I really dont like but don't hate either...I jsut dont like her style. I've written 3 papers here. 2 B+ and one C. To say the least I was frustrated. I'm working on it though. I put forth a lot of effort but since it was the first one I didn't exactly know what they wanted so I didn't do so bad. my C paper got a C because it didn't make the 2 page min. it was 1 and 3/4..ohyeah that's right. My B+s had comma issues. So yeah not that bad. I want to do better though and in college it seems you only have so many opportunities to do better, at least my classes because almost everything is reading and discussion not too much paper work.
Well I think I'm going to go see what's going on in my hall and then get started on some more homework...nevermind I gotta clean up my books and paper off the floor for Jon and Rachels visit. See you guys later.
