Daily Grind...

It is kinda of amazing how your body responds to differing workloads. For the last week, I have not been going to bed before 4am. Granted, I have not needed to be up before 1 in the afternoon but I really should be better organized or more willing to give up on whatever subject I am studying to just close the books like I did last night.


Regardless, I recently woke from a one-hour nap and I cannot figure out what has been making me so fatigued? I get up, go to lab, come home and have lunch. This is followed by several hours of sitting in a darkened classroom listening to lectures --today only saw three hours of lecture. By the time I get home my body feels wiped. Sometimes I've fallen asleep for several hours midday and I cannot get to sleep at night.

Whether it is the hot, hot sun, afternoon rain showers or my lack of regular exercise, I am going to hope this is only a phase. Lab is earlier tomorrow.


The picture here is from the "black sand" beach just off the back steps of campus. Friends and I regularly swim here in the afternoons after lecture to cool off and get re-energized for an evening of studying. It was taken by Matt and you can see more of his images here: Matt's Flickr Site
