Tired

So I am currently at school at around 1 in the afternoon and I haven't slept since Saturday night. I'm running on empty here. It's definitely not a good feeling. I can tell that there is a difference in the way I'm acting and in the way I am feeling. I don't feel that tired, actually, I just feel drained. I had lunch today and then I felt tons better, so the sleep isn't all that big of a deal. But then again, I had lunch about an hour ago and I am almost as pooped as I was before I had lunch already... maybe that's a sign?

There have been studies on how sleep is essential for humans to function properly. Apparently my school didn't get that message, because this is not an irregular occurrence! Why does my school put so much on my plate at once? I guess it's good practice for the "real world", where nothing is fair and sometimes a deadline can mean your job. I just wish that I didn't have to do so much. I feel so unmotivated, but that could be the lightheadedness talking there. I think it is, I think I am motivated, just not when I am not functioning properly. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better.

Then again, who am I to blame my school for giving me so much to do? I signed up for these classes, I should have known what I was getting myself into. I guess it's no one's fault but mine, and now I regret trying to do so much, especially towards the end of the year when all I want to do is cruz. Next year I will be more aware of my inability to handle all of the work at the end of the year (especially next year when there is NO WAY I will be doing lots of work!)

I think today has been the hardest day of my life, even though it is probably one of my easier days in my schedule: 8:30 work, 9:30 math, 10:30 plato (1 1/2 hours), 1:30 US History, and 2:30 work again. Unfortunately I did have to go take a Bio test during one of my breaks, so that wasn't fun, and when I'm not even completely up to par either! I guess that's the price for not sleeping. At least I can say it was a learning experience.
