It’s 1:38a. I woke up about 20 minutes ago, and figured I needed to do something to settle my mind. The weather has gotten nicer — sunny days with little/no rain. But these hours are killing me, especially since I procrastinate. I had an assignment for one of my Hopkins classes due yesterday. I did it. I woke up over an hour early to do it. Got it done and sent it out. Unfortunetly, that hour plus killed me.

I was exhausted. On the ten minute drive home from work, I almost fell asleep. Not good. I walked in the door, returned some phone calls and emails, made a sandwich, and went to bed. I’m a bit bitter at myself right now. I skipped training yesterday because I was so tired. But then of course, when I lay in bed, my mind won’t settle, even though five minutes ago it was dying for sleep. And now this. Wake me up two and a half hours early. Why? I’m not really sure. But I better be able to fall asleep again. As for tomorrow, I have a team track practice, which is always good (and fun).

So what have I learned from this? On my free time (aka weekends), I must do two things extra. An extra swim practice (I’m sucking hard right now — my stroke seems off from where it was a week ago) and I must finish my homework during the weekend, not at 2:30a during the week. Yeah, I don’t have a choice; I can’t procrastinate any longer. Back to bed.
