i've been feeling really tired and run down the last couple of weeks. i had a cold originally so i thought i was just still getting over that. then i realized today that it's pretty obvious what it's from: 1) i'm out of shape again and 2) it's sun lamp time. i can't believe how quickly it hit me but i actually checked through my archives and realized that this is about the same time of year every year that i start to feel this way and have to turn on the sunlamp in the mornings. i'm like clockwork. sometimes that's reassuring, other times it makes me feel like i must be a very boring person.
this week has been really super long. mostly due to the super-tiredness but also because i have so much reading to catch up on and had a test midweek and all kinds of kurt type stuff to deal with. it's finally friday though and after my 2:00 pm meeting i will have aaaaaall weekend to catch up on homework and relax and FORCE myself to go to the gym tomorrow. today i came home after dropping kurt off at school and went back to bed. this was the wrong choice because i still feel like shit and like i haven't slept. i have giant dark circles under my eyes and feel like a zombie. if i had gone to the gym instead i would feel at least 40% better than i do right now (yes, i totally pulled that percentage out of my ass).
for any friends interested in my grade obsessiveness so far this semester this is how it's stacking up: anatomy lecture exam 93%, anatomy lab exam 94%, neuroscience exam 83%. neuroscience tests are hard. i thought i knew what i was talking about on the essay questions but got some things mixed up and used the wrong terminology once. darnit. still, i got perfect scores on both quizzes and have some extra credit too so i'm okay so far.
alright, better get to my meeting. free late lunch. i hope it's something good because i'm starving.
p.s. the SAD tag is for Seasonal Affective Disorder, i'm not trying to be all capital letter SAD emo-y. |

am i the only person who hates cashews? they're the worst nut, in my opinion. they're too soft to even be called a nut. (yes, i realize that hardness is not what characterizes something as a nut but you know what i mean, right?)
in SAD news, i was very disappointed to learn that my understanding of the winter solstice was not quite correct. yes, the days get longer again but until january 8th the sunrise just keeps getting later and later. what the fuck? i have one natural spectrum lightbulb that i found in my desk from last year or the year before and i'm trying to decide where to put it in my house so kurt and i can sit in front of it and try to get some benefit from it. unfortunately, little 60 watt lightbulbs really don't have the right luminousity for SAD. after a little research the idea of sitting in front of this bulb seems pretty ridiculous. it has only 465 lumens (lumens are measured AT the bulb) and effective light therapy generally uses 10,000 lux (lux is 1:1 with lumens but is measured where your eyes would be in front of the bulb, 6 inches, 24 inches, whatever).
well shit, that's enough depressing news for me. i'm taking the afternoon off and going to see eragon with kurt. |
