I haven’t done as well taking my medicine this week as I’d planned.  I took it on Monday and it seemed about the same as on Friday.  I think I went to bed on time.  It didn’t matter so much on Monday night because I don’t have class  till noon on Tuesday/Thursdays, so I sleep in.  That was a mistake on Tuesday.  I slept in too late and didn’t take my medicine.  I didn’t take it yesterday either because I forgot.  Today I set the alarm for 7, got up, took my medicine, and went back to sleep for another hour and a half before I just couldn’t sleep any more.  It seems to be working.  So far this morning, I’ve memorized the poem I needed to memorize for American Poetry this afternoon, written up my ideas for teaching poetry in the classroom, and written a letter.

The medicine definitely works.  That wasn’t ever really an issue.  I  think the test will be seeing if I get to sleep at a decent hour tonight.  I always have trouble on Tuesday/Thursday nights for some reason because I have to get up early on Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings so I can get to class at 7:50.  (I usually get there around 7:35; it’s a habit I’ve picked up from being an El. Ed. major and I’m not sure the English department understands…)  When I go to bed at midnight, I only get about 6 hours of sleep, which is not enough.  I have knit night tonight, but I’m going to try to get to bed by 10:30 or 11 at the latest.  I have to have knit night this week.  I canceled it last week because I had the giant grammar test of doom to complete, and one girl was very mad at me.

Oh look!  It’s only 9:08 and I’m already finished with yet another thing!  I think going back on my medicine has been a very good thing for me so far (provided it doesn’t affect my sleep…more tomorrow on that…)  Bye!
