22/366 weary

At 5am on Tuesday, the fire alarm went off. and then turned off again by the time we got out of bed. what didn't stop after the alarm was poor Leela quaking so hard she shook the bed. C was the one who took her for a calming walk but I still basically lost those two hours of sleep (and that was after turning in around midnight). I'm not 18 anymore and yesterday I really felt those lost hours. like, I fell asleep on the couch for about 20 minutes around 8pm.

I didn't actually get to bed early last night either because I needed to write a paper for my class; if I want to conduct my normal Thursday knitting Friday gaming life I need to turn in my assignments on Wednesday.

The first real class was mostly good but I can tell that I'm going to have to balance being helpful to my classmates (strongly encouraged by the instructor) with being drowned by their needs. My seatmate didn't know the words in English for punctuation marks; I don't think that bodes well for her ability to follow the class :(

Poor Leela, poor doggie parents :(

Yes, I feel this one.

I remember actually saying "don't worry Mom, I always get at least five hours of sleep". Though, to be fair, college me took naps.
