This way to the stars

Sleep is a scarce commodity

I didn't sleep last night because I was editing our documentary for Zoology (about exotic food. Dumb, dumb, DUMB of me to think that I can cram for a roughly 30-minute movie in one night.

But then again, I didn't have time to do it because of HELL WEEK! What with a Zoology lec report, a Chem Long Test, a Zoology Lab comprehensive exam, a PE 101 long test, an English memoir and a Fil research paper, I couldn't exactly cram in video editing. Shucks, my eyelids are twitching just thinking about this inhuman workload. Needless to say, I was internally worried about the documentary, among other things, all week.

But the punch line came today. As I said, I didn't sleep at all because I edited the film. I even came late to class AND completed it while other groups were presenting. I thought we were so lucky that we were the last group to present because it'd buy us time to finish the film.

And we did finish it. But then, as we were reviewing the film for the last time, Sir Ron announced that the last group (we) wouldn't be presenting at all due to lack of time.

Rarg. Edi sana natulog nalang pala ako.

Mia cried. We were all kinda devastated, since we put a lot of effort into making the film enjoyable for the viewing public (i.e. Blocks L1 and L2). But Sir did compromise with us, though; he's gonna let us present the film during the block party on Wednesday night. So its okay, it wasn't all for nothing. But still...

Disappointment is a reality no one can escape from. It's just that if I had known that we were presenting on a later date, last night would not have been so nerve-wracking. I wouldn't have verbally slaughtered my sister, I wouldn't have cried, my stomach wouldn't have turned over, and I would have freakin slept.

Well at least I did do one thing kinda positive. I drank Lipovitan for the first time. It tasted like Tempra (yeccchh).

Sleep is a scarce commodity these days. The less you have, the more valuable it becomes. I bet it'll become more and more valuable to me as my studies intensify. 2-hour hospital shifts, anyone? Basically, it'll be like hell week, and worse, for the rest of my frickin life.

Maybe I should just hire myself a superproxy?
