Insomnia Academia

Only two weeks in and back to the regular sleeping issues of the weekend. I don't stay up terribly late on Friday nights unless I'm going out, but I give myself the privilege of not setting my alarm clock for the next morning. This can prove problematic, as yesterday I woke up at 1pm. Not so good. I felt well rested, but then I didn't get to bed till 2 am. Now I have class in essentially 6 hours, but I can't sleep! Not cool.

So, an update. I've been incredibly busy since being back at uni. I'm joining new groups, such as Spokescouncil for my residence, and I am now going to be doing volunteer work at one of the campuses community centers, which is such a laid back job. I'm organizing a traditional Scottish event for this Friday, and I'm even going to be practicing my public speaking by speaking for five minutes about Scotland. It's this international event thing for the school. Anyways, new challenges and hopefully good future results.

I've been going to the gym much more frequently and have found I'm not as unfit as I thought. If I can do 30 minutes on the eliptical walker, I'm not as unfit as I imagine. Plus I do about 150 sit ups, and if I have more time, I go on the treadmill a bit. Hoping to get very fit for my trip. Not necessarily lose all the weight I want to in three months, as that is unrealistic, but try damn hard.

I'm loving my courses this semester. They're much more mentally stimulating and challenging, but with that a lot more work. Hard work seems to be the theme of this semester. SO, here I go!
