Bizarre Sleeping Habits, Gloomy Weather, And Procrastination.

I noticed something about most of the people I know that are are relatively close to my age. Our sleep schedules are just weird.
"A college student with weird sleeping habits!? STOP THE PRESSES!"
I'll give you a few examples. Most often, I'll generally start work at 10 am, and work 11 hours, so I get up at 8 am to shower, get dressed, and drive to work. It would make sense for me to get in bed early every night, but instead I find myself staying up until nearly 5:30 in the morning. Of course I'm beyond tired when I get to work, but by 2 pm, it's like I only lost a little sleep, and my body feels fine. Then when 8 pm rolls around, and my body should be on the verge of collapsing, I'm ready to stay up until 5:30 again. Then on the flip side, on my days off (like today), I'll sleep until 3 pm, and then I'll be beyond exhausted by the time 10 pm arrives. Many of my coworkers, and fellow college students, follow similar routines. One could easily blame it on technology, or the fact that we undergo constant mental stimulation, but I'd like to think that we're all so busy, we stay up late so that we can experience everything we missed out on while fulfilling our responsibilities; our days off are merely resting days. At least that way it sounds less irresponsible and unhealthy.

 

A little less on the unhealthy side was today's weather. I personally think that the number of people who find rain depressing are equal in number to people who find it relaxing, though that's based solely on my own experiences. I find it very relaxing myself, so perhaps I may be biased. I find it so relaxing, in fact, that something as simple as taking out the recycling was made nearly therapeutic by the gentle downpour. The warmer weather, and recent showers, have me excited for the lightning storms that are on their way. Once the dry heat hits, we get righteous cloud-to-cloud lightning storms, where the lighting doesn't hit the ground often. Everything just gets quiet, save for the gentle rumble above. As much as I love the winter, I'm glad that the warm weather is finally ready to stay. Though with Ohio's weather, you really can't rely on the promise of "spring weather," the cold. finds a way.

 

Today's weather has also been beneficial to me, in the sense that it has aided me with the inspiration to actually do something. While yesterday I felt inspired and energetic, ready to write and be heard, today I felt boring and unqualified. I started writing this post at 4 pm, it is now 2 am. I just couldn't stick to it. Which, I would say is the one thing I'm going to avoid tomorrow. This is a blog, on the MLP forum, it's not meant to necessarily be interesting, and it's on one of the most friendly forums I've ever joined, so I won't get flamed for being uninteresting. I'm not saying that simply because it's on this site I can't be passionate about it, but I shouldn't treat it like work, I mean christ. I guess I'm putting too much expectation on something that's supposed to be simple and fun. So tomorrow, or rather today after I wake up, I'm going to focus on just that: simplicity and fun. I'll save the complicated stuff for later.
Well, that's that, for now. Possibly more thoughts in a few hours.
