Sleep-deprived and broken down...
This is going to be an interesting day. It's too bad I probably will not remember it.
Last night, I took a study break and ventured through the dark and stormy night to pick up a pizza. En route, a li'l indicator lit up to taunt me. The battery wasn't charging.
Yes, that's what was wrong with my car last week.
So, this morning I'm waiting to see if there is a problem. There are a couple of possibilities, ranging from an improperly tightened wire... to something drastically wrong with the car that is eating alternators.
The latter could get pricey... so I'm armed with my emergency plastic. =^(
And I haven't slept. Usually, the weekends are when I sleep... but that just didn't happen this weekend. Hence my memory issues. With this much caffeine in my system, I'm afraid I'm almost completely on auto-pilot.
I would do good to call in sick today. I may still. When I'm this short on sleep, I'm not worth much anyway... however when it means more to your boss that your butt is in the seat than any work gets done, why burn the sick day?
Over the weekend, I learned a valuable lesson (albeit too little too late) while working on my project. I really don't have my shit together right now. It's not that I'm trying to take on too much, because I'm not. It is that I'm not investing the time I should into my classes, projects, etc.
There is a chapter in one of my schoolbooks that I just noticed last night, explaining how to portion out the work so it doesn't seem so daunting... so overwhelming. Basically, it outlines what I should have been doing all along.
Bleah! And here I am blogging when I could be working. So, I'll wrap this up. The question is, can I apply what I've learned this late in the game? =^\
Need sleep.
Zzzzzzz...
