The Lack Thereof

Good morning! It's about 2am now, and I know what you're thinking: that's nothing. That time of morning is normal for college students. Naturally, you'd be thinking right because you're a smart person. This is the time of night where reality begins sitting in and I wonder why I'm still an engineering student.

So, let me begin my Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) rant.

I'm taking 19 credit hours. Not an impossible circumstance, but 4 of those credit hours are for Engineering 192.01H. In case you're not familiar with FEH, 4 credit hours basically means you will be doing about 8-12 credit hours worth of work for a single engineering class. ... Okay, I'm just kidding, I'm not going to spend a lot of time complaining about it (I do that enough already).

But seriously, the amount of things I've had to do in the past two weeks has inspired me to just sleep less in general. Your body can function off 6 or less hours of sleep a day pretty well -- if you space out your sleeping periods into two regular 2-4 hour naps per day. It works, but recently I've just given up on the nap idea and just sleep for 3-5 hours once. It's worked for the past 3 days, but it's pretty obvious that I need more sleep.

On the plus side, I'm getting really good at quickly copying notes from Dr. Boros's math lecture, microsleeping, waking up, copying new things that have been put up, and repeating the process for 48 minutes. Fortunately, the hypnic jerks that were so prevalent in my high school study halls have become less frequent.

I look forward to sleep on the weekends and will gladly sleep 10+ hours into Saturday and Sunday.

Now if I could just get my roommate to quit rubbing in my lack of sleep...
