That's that

Short one today because I'm tired.

Today was work, class, work, more work, Massey High Table, line dancing, poker dealing, more line dancing, and home.

That is all. G'night.

Asking for help

My dear readers, I need help. I continually set my alarm for 7:15. Despite going to bed early enough to get 7 hours of sleep, I never wake up at 7:15. I press the snooze button, and press the snooze button, and press the snooze button again, sometimes for up to two hours.

As points of note, I need to get out of bed and walk two steps to get to the alarm, so it's not a matter of just moving my hand. I am awake enough to get up and press the button, but not enough to make the effort of willpower to stay awake. Also, this is only a problem when I don't have anywhere to go in the morning. I've never missed a class or appointment because I slept in too late. But when I want to get up and do schoolwork, that snooze button just keeps getting pressed.

So. I need help. Does anyone have any suggestions for how to wake up, instead of pressing snooze? Help, please!

It's 2 pm and I still haven't done any of my own work

I tutored this morning. Unlike this last two sessions which went fairly well, this was like pulling teeth. We only got through half the stuff she'd brought, and I'm still not sure she understands it. I left with such a headache, not helped by the appearance at lunch of someone I'd been trying to avoid.

Now I'm back home and have all MY schoolwork to do today (among other things, 100 pages of social history reading, 40-60 pages of reading for papers, and Latin translation). But I can't focus. I'm going to take a shower to try to center myself, and then I'll launch in to work. I don't expect to be leaving today, unless to run a quick errand or go have dinner. So if you want to call me, today is probably a good day to do it.

Hugs, everyone!

Edited, 9 pm, to add: I put in five good hours of work today. Managed to get through 115 pages of readings, translate 25 lines of Latin, and read two short articles for my papers. I'm calling it quits for the evening.
