I'm still tired. It's like I have both narcolepsy and insomnia. I feel
super awake all night and can stay up for a good 30 hours at a time if I
want, but even if I overcome that and am sleeping well for weeks on end,
I'm super tired throughout the day and randomly lose all of my energy.
Again, I am staying "home" (in my room) because I just don't feel up to
par.
I got a nice e-mail from Tomasino after my post yesterday, encouraging
me to try and push myself forward and, y'know, make it to class. I
wasn't sure how to respond, but I do appreciate it.
I've thought seriously about seeing if my doctor can get me back on
Concerta. That way I would have energy throughout the day, and it could
also continue helping with my misophonia. I just dislike using a
stimulant like that; I'm afraid it will burn my body out much quicker
and that eventually I won't be able to function without it (although it
really doesn't have any negative side effects just quitting cold turkey.
Or at least it didn't before). The real issue with the medicine is that
a month's worth is $300, which is asinine. I'd love to have that kind of
money to finish my terminal project. It's insane.
I feel like I'm going to fall asleep at my keyboard. I fell back asleep
for about 3 more hours after my post this morning. It should have been
plenty. I always get plenty. And then tiredness hits my body like a
truck. I've considered going and seeing the nurse at the campus clinic
about it, but I don't think that there's much that she could do. Perhaps
exercising every day or other day would help. We'll see.
In other news, my friend Rob let me borrow his IBM Model M to use. It's
really nice. Not as nice as, say, a Corsair with blue switches (for me,
anyway), but still. The build quality is incredible and the buckling
springs are nice to type on. The only reason I'm not their biggest fan
is because of the fact that they do require more force, and as a result,
slow me down slightly. There's no Windows key, which sucks, but I
remapped Caps Lock to that (to my dismay. I like to scream in text
form).
I need to go out and do something exciting and post about it. I need my
phlog to be more positive.
Also I posted a new poem on my Poems page a few days ago, if anyone
would like to check it out. I've also added my college mailbox to my
Gopherhole in case anyone would like to send anything to me (or the
Computer Club).
