If you can stay calm, while all around you is chaos…
Then you probably haven’t completely understood the seriousness of the situation.

Dear Readers,
I’ve been working on this post for awhile, but this is the first time I’ve written it down.
You might be tired when:
• You decide how strong to make your coffee by how many times your alarm went off before you got up.
• You no longer feel guilty about taking a nap even if you should be doing homework.
• You set an alarm clock on your 1,600 watt stereo because your other alarms aren’t loud enough.
• You can drink caffeine up until the moment you get into bed and still fall right to sleep.
• You think unfunny things are funny.
• You decide to sleep instead of eating.
• You sleep 10 or 12 hours straight on each day you have off.
• When no amount of caffeine can or will keep you focused.
• You debate sleeping on campus instead of driving home after your late class.
• When you are asked a question it takes you 10 seconds to respond.
• That’s just some of the ways you know you might be tired.

Dear Readers,
I realize that I haven’t written anything in awhile. That’s mostly on account of school or me being lazy.
Some things don’t get done as often as once they once were done. I don’t check my email as regular. I might check my email every other day now instead of 2 or 3 times a day. I don’t sleep eight hours very often anymore most of the time just five hours.
Some things get done more often than before. I call some of the people closest to me more often or at least text them. I walk more than ever before both on campus and off. I also eat out more even if it’s just Subway. I nap whenever possible, but I don’t consider this sleep. I also read more than I have since school, but that might be because school requires reading.
My days go about like this; when I get up in the morning I might do a choir or two instead of just getting a slow start. For example, I folded clothes and move laundry along, just this morning. I then go to work put in my eight hours sometime working a few minutes at break on homework. After work, I go directly to the college campus on Tuesdays and Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays I might eat first. I usually spend all the time I have before class getting my assignment done for class. No, I don’t procrastinate till that point. I just don’t have much extra time. I then have a short break between classes on Monday and Wednesday. but not more than 15 minutes usually. I go on to class most Mon. and Wed because of this short break time. On Tuesday and Thursday I have a longer break. I don’t usually have as much to do before the second class on these days so I might nap or go to the student union. I then go home and go to bed almost directly, since I have to get up early.
I spend my Fridays at work then I go to the Van Buren’s to visit Crystal. I sometimes am more social but most of the time I’m too tired to do more than eat and run (Completely figurative as I’m too tired to run at this point.).
On the weekends I attend church, play video games, watch movies, do homework, and hang out with any friends who aren’t busy.
Well, I’m afraid I don’t know much else to write so I’ll close this post with this very compelling verse.
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
1 John 3:18
