For the first time in my life I am at this point where I can function on only a little sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely sleep in when I can, but if I get 5-6hrs of sleep I don’t choose to sleep in instead of doing what I need to do.

Last week was supposed to be my week from hell. My Linux OS class was ending on Wednesday, I had a Macroeconomics Midterm the same day, and a bunch of homework. Thankfully I finished my Linux work on Monday evening. Tuesday night I decided, stupidly, to get this seafood/shellfish platter from this place I shouldn’t have. Basically, I really shouldn’t be eating seafood anywhere in Arizona. There are no oceans nearby. When I go for sushi I can taste that it’s not as fresh as it is in New Jersey. I am sure you can see where this is going.

All night I was having these horrible, weird dreams and I woke up every 40 minutes frantically like I was late for something. I woke up extremely sick at about 6-7am. I was puking and experiencing other scenarios you can use your imagination for. It was terrible. I don’t remember having food poisoning anytime recently, but it was the worst. My original plan was to wake up early that morning and study until my exam at 1:30pm. There was no possible way I was able to concentrate. Thankfully once I puked out all of my food, I was able to sleep sans weirdo dreams. I obviously didn’t wake up early and slept until almost 11am. I debated emailing my teacher and saying that I really couldn’t come in, but then I thought about how it was a midterm and while I had a mild fever and a bathroom problem, it wasn’t the worst situation ever. I took some imodium and just dealt.

I got through the exam with no idea how I did. I skipped my last Linux class and Visual Basic and Microsoft Access on Thursday. I just couched and laid in bed the whole time. By Thursday afternoon I was basically fine. It had passed!

I relaxed the rest of the weekend because I really didn’t have any homework to do and was eating normal by Friday. Friday night my friend from high school was driving through Phoenix because he is moving back east from Los Angeles (apparently Firefox doesn’t know what Los Angeles is, since it’s getting that red line underneath like it’s spelled incorrectly). He got here around 12:30am Saturday after much traffic and we went for a drink or two. It was awesome catching up. Sunday night my Linux grades were posted online and I got an A in the class, yay! Yesterday I got my Macroeconomics midterm back and I got a B with room to get extra points if I do some work on the questions I got wrong. I did that extra work tonight and am handing it in tomorrow.

Today was pretty exhausting. I got 6hrs of sleep last night, went to class this morning, and had another one early afternoon. Came home and basically did nothing besides eat meals and do homework. Is it Friday yet?
