I'm still not caught up on my sleep here, and it's not for want of trying. I think that the stress I've been feeling about finishing my degree and entering the job market has gotten to the point where my brain is just unwilling to shut itself off long enough for me to get a decent night's rest. The BFP is not so immense that I can't afford to lose a couple of days here to getting my schedule back on track, but at the same time it felt like I put off studying for my big exams for too long there, and the last thing I want to have happen is for me to wind up cramming just to get that paper done by the deadline.
(Before anyone asks, sleeping pills don't work for me. Trust me, I've tried them.)
As for tonight, though, I'm kind of going to hang out here on campus for a little while, so that I don't have to deal with trick-or-treaters in the neighbourhood. At some point I'll have to take off shopping, though. To give you an idea of how out-of-the-loop I've been, I didn't even know that Final Fantasy XII was coming out today until late last night. As it is, I may not buy it tonight, simply because I don't think it would be wise for me to have it around my bedroom as a distraction until after I get the BFP done.
I didn't even realize Sarah McLachlan's new album was out until late last week, either. There was a time in my life when I'd make a point of buying every new album of hers (as well as those of Björk and Tori Amos) on the day it came out, but now I just don't see myself doing that anymore. I don't know if this is a sign that I'm too busy, or a sign that I'm maturing. I just know that it makes me feel old. OLD.
