When I was out and about yesterday, I noticed the sun was practically gone by 7:30 at night. It felt much later than it was. I thought for sure the time was somewhere around 9 o'clock. Gone are my long days and nights. No more sunrise at around 5:45. No more sunset at 9:30. To compound that thought, I got to my car this morning only to notice frosty condensation had built up all around my car. My breath was also now visible. Winter is slowing marching it's way up to my mental doorstep. What a dick. I feel like this year my days have lasted the longest. Maybe it was because I was making the most out of them. But now that the sunlight is being cut short, I feel like I'm being robbed of time and life.
For right now, I'm taking a break from schoolwork. I have little over a week and a half until my half block semester ends. I can have my Saturday mornings back. I can have my Tuesday and Thursday mornings back. No more early bullshit. Frankly, I can't be more excited. I've been running off of high quantities of coffee and 5-Hour Energy shots. Too much caffeine makes me edgy, irritable and angry. I'm super impatient with everything. It's my hope that I'll start getting more and better quality sleep after this semester block is done. Hopefully I'll consume less caffeine as a result.
But until then, I must run on artificial energy and consciousness.
Now back to the soul-sucking coursework.
