Insomnia, school, and writer's block...or is it?,

It's currently 3:31 AM on Saturday night...err, Sunday Morning. I'm at that point where I feel like I should go to bed, but part of me is just saying "screw it, stay up the rest of the night." I'm kind of tired, but also know that I could easily keep myself awake if I wanted to. I guess drinking caffeine will do that to ya.

Insomnia is surely nothing new to me. As my friends will attest, 5 hours of sleep is my average amount of sleep per night. Every once in a while I will get 7 or so, but that's not normal. I sometimes wonder what causes it. I think my brain just thinks/knows that sleeping is a waste of time, there's so many things I could be doing while I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep!

It's not all bad though, I'm often at my most creative post 3:30-AM, when that weird trippy feeling starts settling in. I've come up with some of what I think are my favorite ideas at this time of night. Sleep deprivation be darned, I'm not changing my schedule until school starts.

Speaking of school, I picked my classes out... finally. Looks like I will be taking Drawing 1, Computer Illustration, California History, and get this, Bible Literature. Didn't even know they offered that at my school. I know it's not very "bay area" to be religious and whatnot, but I'm actually excited for that class in particular. Of course the Computer Illustration class interests me greatly as well. As my friends are already aware, I love manipulating photos.

And ugh, I'm not sure if I have writer's block or just a general lack of motivation, but I can't seem to finish up Chapter 4. I got about halfway through but I don't really love what I've come up with so far. I really need to get past this chapter so I can get to a point in the story where I actually have a lot of ideas for. I'm just having trouble getting there. Blah.

Stupid Warcraft holding my attention oh so well. There's something about consistently playing with a good friend and not having a bunch of money that makes the game seem so fresh. For those familiar with the game, I 'dinged' 24. Woohoo? At least I get Windfury in 6 levels..
