Raccoon Eyes

Just as the raccoon has dark patches around its eyes (patches, rings, whatever), I too carry rings around my eyes from lack of rest. Due to the amount of reading I left collecting dust had finally catching up to me, as well as a Chicano Studies take-home Midterm, I am flat out tired and exhausted. The latest I've slept thus far was 5am, only to wake up two hours later for my math discussion class at 8am (which a quiz was administered). Now, I also have a big term paper for my Social Problems class due in a few weeks, as well as a rhetorical analysis paper for my Writing class. God knows what else will be piled on top of that. Most likely the next batch of midterms. Damn it...

Well, as I got a lot of things done today, I decided to take somewhat of a day off to recharge my batteries. I kicked back, did some reading, and relaxed. I even got a nice Valentine's Day letter from Jennifer Lew to brighten my sleepless day (2 hours of sleep = nap). Hopefully I'll get to sleep earlier tonight and catch some well deserved z's. I felt compelled to right this entry to remind myself, down the line, to NEVER PROCRASTINATE TO SUCH A HIGH DEGREE EVER AGAIN!!! My complexion suffers, as well as my stubborn yet sensitive psyche.

If I don't take better care of myself, I'll snap and end up chokin' someone, most likely Gessie. He didn't help in my plight of exhaustion, as I was to spend much of the day out of my room while he was entertaining for his girlfriend. But no ill will whatsoever, as it is a friend and roommate's duty not to cockblock! PERIOD! And if someone does, then that person is an ass who shouldn't get any "cake," as my friend Alex Hoang would say.

Well, I think I'm ready to tackle the next batch of work around the corner. LET THE INSANITY COMMENCE, CABRONES!!!
