Slipping sleep

It has been a long time since I put in an all nighter. It’s finals week and mine ended today with little hope of getting a good grade. Then again, I gave it my best shot. Some say that giving your all is what matters. I agree to a certain extent. If you’re satisfied with the effort put in but don’t produce results, effort is put to waste.

Coming back to my sleep pattern, I’ve not slept for more than 50 hours since Sunday! Yet, even with my exams over, why am I still awake at 4:20am?! It baffles me… but let me tell you what I’ve been up to.

Got back from the torture chamber (a.k.a the Exam Hall), watched TV, made some phone calls to friends who I’ve not talked to for a long time because of my busy schedule, watched several ‘South Park’ episodes on my computer, read the news on several websites, checked and managed my account balance, SORTED MY TRASH between paper and plastic (as you can see, there’s something totally wrong with me), and reorganized my music folder. Seriously, I’m really not the kind that does all these in one go. Is it psychological that our defense mechanism takes place in times of realizing poor results? For example, some people eat non-stop, shop like crazy, sweep the floor. As for me, at least I’m putting it to something useful if that’s the case. Odd!

Well, it is getting pretty late, my eyes are droopy, my head hurts, yet I don’t feel sleepy even all the signs of a body breaking down due to lack of sleep is observed. Insomnia, unlikely; Anxious, probably; Excited, most definitely!

Good night.
