Sorry guys, the past many weeks had been really weird for me. If you still remember the time I fell sick - ages ago - (I blogged about it), it actually got worse, and was extended for WEEKS. Its like justice had just disappeared from my life...
I was coughing the whole night - literally - until I could hear birds chirping and see the sunlight pouring through my window. Whilst on other mornings it may seem like a dew from heaven casting its warm beam on home sweet home, on that week of sleepless nights it was more like hell flooding my sodden room. Those two weeks were meant to be my holidays, but there had to be a project that took exactly two full weeks of hard work. To top it off my parents just had to fly in for the last couple of days of my holidays to add a little 'climax' to it. There was a point that I thought that I was dead. No sleep, no rest, no voice, no life.
But that was weeks ago.
Those coughs had their side effects though. It appeared that not sleeping properly for a whole week had somehow hardwired a less desirable sleep pattern into my poor brain and body. Now I can't even sleep at 3am if I wanted to. And it seemed that my mind can only truly rest when sunlight pours into my room. Grrr. To make it worse, I missed all my morning lectures (and some afternoon ones) for the week after the holidays, because I could only wake up at 2pm, missing breakfast, lectures and lunch. Unfortunately there are more projects and assignments needed to be done, so I still get no rest. The only differences were that I was not coughing, and I had my voice back (no groaning!). And yet, it made a whole world of difference.
This morning however, was the first time that I woke up on time for a 10am lecture since I fell sick! Prospects are looking up already. I'm sleeping slightly better, though I still toss and turn on my bed till the birds chirp. Plus I started on my 20% project that's due on Friday (that's actually a disastrously late time to start, especially considering the fact that I've been missing lectures all semester). If I work hard enough (till I run out of brain cells?), I should be fine. And I've got some results of my projects back, but I really do not want to talk about it.
Anyway, the point is, I'm back. -]
Posted by kg at October 19, 2004 11:48 PMare u implying that the presence of ur family causes u to haf no life?
anyway. want a good remedy to get to sleep?
get drunk.
;)
Primary reason they're here was for vacation, and I can't afford their kind of vacation at that time. Seriously, going out to Crown every night really isn't a good way to heal myself or do my assignment.
Its a good thing they excused me from going with them for a drive-around-Melbourne trip; I wouldn't be surprised if I died of lung scarring if I did.
Get drunk? Hey, unlike you I need to be able to think the moment I wake up you know. Projects' due on Friday... *sigh*
