Please let me sleep. I'm tired and I have a lot to do tomorrow. Normally I would enjoy this beautiful night just as I would any other, but tonight I must make an exception. Humans require that I be awake in the morning. A strange species they are, but alas, I must conform to their demands for the foreseeable future.

My washing machine has been broken since last Thursday--it's been over four days now. It won't drain, and now it's starting to reek of mold. My clothes are getting rather nasty. I can't walk into my own kitchen to get a glass of water without practically barfing. It is imperative that maintenance comes by tomorrow to fix it, and for that, I must be awake. I can't sleep during the afternoon like I did yesterday if I have a sweaty old guy in my apartment.

I am also under a great deal of stress from my school work. The princess of differential equations is testing me on eleven chapters of material, on Wednesday. I am only marginally prepared for this; I expect to make a C at best. I am not permitted to use integration tables, so I not only need to know the content for the class as well as content from calculus 1-3, but I also need to memorize tables of data that I never needed to memorize before. The test will also be timed, and I'm hardly sure I'll be able to finish. I'm trying not to have a Twilight-esque freakout moment, but that's easier said than done. I don't think it's fair, but, eh... not much I can do about it.

My brony research project is coming along, although not too nicely. I've gotten a little behind on my work, and I'm facing a bit of a dilemma. I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to be doing, or how I'm supposed to go about it. I'm basically just going on a limb, pulling a rabbit out of the sky, and hoping everything is going to come together. I know I need to expand my line of inquiry, although right now I just can't be too concerned, what with everything else going on and all. I'm trying my best. I am, really. It's just not easy.

In other news, tomorrow night is going to be my first brony meetup. Right now, I'm facing the conflicting thoughts of "yay, I'm going to meet other bronies, I can't wait," and " but this means I'll have to talk to people... people I don't know and haven't ever met before." In all seriousness, I am looking forward to it. But I'm also not looking forward to having to introduce myself to a bunch of people I don't know. On one hand, awesome. On the other hand, I really need to stop being Fluttershy. Ugh. Social anxiety sucks.

There's also the problem of my phone's memory being too full, so I'm looking to buy an expansion card tomorrow, if possible, after my washer is fixed. This problem isn't exactly immediate, but it would be nice to get that out of the way before it troubles me again.

So that's it. That's why I need to sleep. Now please, let me get some rest before bad things happen tomorrow.

Sincerely, your faithful student,

Regs
