Zzzz

OK, I am an idiot. So, I've been spending the fast few days trying desperately to get back on a healthy sleeping pattern for school. And I just fucked it up. And now it cannot be undone. I decided to take a nap when I got home. Sounds nice, right? Yeah, well I slept until 10:30. That's an 8 hour nap. Now it feels like morning and I'm never going to be able to fall asleep again. FML.

Well, I have officially attended one day of school. It wasn't too bad. I refrained from falling asleep on the first day--something I had expected to be inevitable since I had stayed up into the wee hours of the morning the night before doing last-minute summer homework! (Which, by the way, we didn't even have to turn in. blah.) But I think I pretty much managed it. Afterwards, I came home for a catnap which turned into 5 hours and I don't even know if that even qualifies as a nap. Then I did my small bits of homework, ate some yogurt, caught up on Jersey Shore and Awkward, nerded out for a little while on Pottermore (silverhallow186!!!), and then resolved to go to bed at 10 as to make it through another school day without sleeping. So, exhausted, I got all ready for bed and slipped under my duvet and lay there for about literally 3 hours and I just could not fall asleep. I don't know why, but I've been like that lately. I just cannot fall asleep ever until like 4 am even if I'm super tired. I start thinking and I don't know. It's impossible. So now it's almost 1 and I'm wide awake even though just 3 hours ago I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open and I haven't slept a wink. Does this qualify as insomnia? I don't know. So then I started thinking about blogging and kept thinking about it and decided that if I didn't post something I wouldn't be able to sleep. Sooo, this is it. While lying in bed staring at the ceiling, I made a list of rules that would help me get through this school year, since it seems so dark and ominous and terrifying. So here it is:

Guidelines to a Successful Sophomore Year

1. Sleep whenever possible, except in class. Seriously. Don't sleep through Algebra, no matter how unbearably boring it may be.
2. If you’re ever wondering what to do, do something productive.
3. Limit of 1 episode of Gossip Girl a day. Applies to any other show as well.
4. EAT BREAKFAST.
5. Don’t fuss over your hair; it’s never going to look right.
6. Don’t procrastinate until the last possible minute on projects.
7. If you feel like you should do an assignment, do it.
8. Study for exams!!!!
9. Don’t get involved in risky activities. By risky I mean… well, you know what I mean.
10. Don’t be mean to people unless they call you a bitch or steal your boyfriend or kick you in the shins.
11. Don’t sneak out of class to eat donuts.
12. Don’t eat donuts in class instead of doing your work.
13. Limit daydreams about Chuck Bass/Ron Weasley to 10 minutes per class period.
14. Eat only 1 ice cream per lunch, no matter how deliciously tempting a second one looks.
15. Try to keep your balance and not trip over desks, backpacks, or other objects. Also, don’t fall down the stairs.
16. Don’t wear leopard print at any time for any reason.

Well, there it is. I think if I stick to these rules over the school year, I'll come out alright. Well, maybe not alright, but hopefully alive. Now, off to sleep. xoxo Dylan
