I'm tired..

Goodness gracious... I feel so tired this week. Actually, I find that ever since I started to work part-time, I feel so much more tired during the week, and I'm falling behind in my courses. The plan was to study hard-core during the week, then rest and work on the weekends. But, I guess it never happened this way. I don't study as much hard-core as I planned to during the week, and then I work on the weekends but cannot get enough rest. In fact, I lack sleep during the weekends due to my night shifts at work and early morning Sunday service, and an 8:30 class on Monday. *sigh*

Just FYI, usually on Saturdays and Sundays I'd be at the library nerding with my books trying to catch up on things, or at least finish all assignments that are due the following week. But since now I work, I can't do that anymore. I tend to take long naps during the day on Saturday and Sunday because I stay up late to work, which is really such a waste of time having abnormal sleeping hours like that.

I also find that, having a new job that I happen to love, I then have a new obsession. My focus is now divided between school and work. I actually look forward to going to work on the weekends. Usually, before I started working, I'd look forward to go to the library so that I can catch up with things and won't feel guilty about falling behind in school. But now, things are different.

But, I can't let my grades slip.. I can't. I'm just gonna have to kill myself at the end of this term if I let that happen. So, I've been waking up at 6 am to study before my class starts at 8:30 am. So, I go to bed at midnight, and up by 6 am. The thing is, I don't usually fall asleep right away. Sometimes it takes me 30 mins to 1 hr to actually sleep, and on the odd days it can take me hours, I know. So, on average, I probably only sleep 5.5 hrs/night on the weekdays now, and even LESS on the weekends. What am I going to do if this continues?? And I know it will be like this for the rest of the term.. unless I quit my job. =(

Anyway, let's change the topic. After my class at UW this morning, I walked to the bus stop to wait for my bus. There was 1 Asian guy standing there waiting for the bus. It was really cold, so I entered the booth to avoid the wind. Surprisingly, the Asian guy smiled at me. So, I thought to myself, "hmmm.. do I know this guy? Why is he smiling at me?" So I kind of smile back, but I did not really pay any attention as I was also listening to my iPod. But then, the guy kept looking at me as if we knew each other. So, to be polite, I took off one of my earphones and I was gonna ask him, "Do I know you?" But before I had the chance to ask, he said to me, "I met you yesterday on bus #8." I laughed because I was certain he caught the wrong person because I did not even take the bus yesterday. So, I told him so, and he tried to assure me that he really saw me and said, "Oh, maybe I saw you on Monday then. But I really SAW you." LOL, he really did emphasize the word "saw". So, I'm like.. okay... so what gitu loh? I just said to him, "yes.. must be on Monday." He then asked me if I was Chinese, if I speak any Chinese, which part of China I was from, and so on. So, I answered his questions briefly. He then asked if he could have my MSN. And, being polite or perhaps just being too nice, I didn't have the heart to say no or to give him an excuse for not giving my MSN. So, I said that if he had any paper or pen on him, I'd give him my MSN. At first, he only took out a pen. I was scared that he was gonna ask me to write it on his hand. *eeeeeeeekkkkk* Luckily, he also took out a small piece of paper. *phew*.

Alright, that is it for today. I'm gonna go back to reading Genetics.

Later days!
