heavy eyelids

I'm sleepy all the time. I eat at weird hours of the day and I have food comas all the time. I have work to do but I'm so sleepy I really think I'm just going to sleep and wake up early as usual. Sleep is such a beautiful thing. I've come to appreciate it so much. But the thing is I just ate about 2 hours ago and I don't think it's good to sleep right now but honestly my body is shutting down. And my body is cramping up too. I need to exercise. Hardcore. I can feel lipids turning into fat and storing themselves all over the place. Yuck. Two more weeks, and I'll be free from this sleep deprivation. Then we can start all over and I'll plan my life out better. Tired body aches...

I just wrote about sleep. haha.

My body hurts.

So I come home from school and decide to take a nap to get rid of my nasty headache. I wake up feeling refreshed, energized and ready to do homework. Then I go to the back house to check on the dogs my cousin is dog-sitting. One of them slips out the door from under my legs and starts running away. So of course, I chase it. Terrible idea. The dog only runs faster. Finally I get it by the collar and by this point it's barking and hissing at me (can dogs hiss?). I'm scared for my life because I almost lost somebody else's dog and what if it bit me... then I'd be on the evening news for a dog mauling. Anyways, I'm holding onto the collar and you know in movies when the dog drags it's owner because it's running like a race horse? Pretty much what happened, but not that crazy. It just took off and I couldn't run as fast but I wasn't going to let go. So now my cheek is swollen, I have scrapes on my arms and legs, and my head is pounding more than it did before my nap.

Fruits!

Look at what I found in my backyard-- and that's just one of the banana trees! Unfortunately, it's not pomegranate season so there were only a couple pomegranates that have been picked open by birds. But still so pretty!

Sunday's not-so-best

So today I threw on a t-shirt, faded black sweats, threw my hair in a ponytail and headed out to school to get some stuff done. Sunday is the only day I allow myself to arrive on campus looking like a complete bum because no one's at school, no one to impress. (Art Center is pretty fashion-saavy, dang artists). I was trying to pull a celebrity-in-sweats-nobody-notice-me kind of look. Well lucky for me, I ran into two people I knew who both ended up talking to me for quite some time! What are the odds of that... there were only like 10 cars in the parking lot too. Then the stupid fire alarm goes off for what seemed like forever. I looked around and nobody gets up to evacuate. Everyone continues working on stuff but my ears are starting to bleed at this point and I need to leave before I lose my hearing. So basically I exposed my inner ugly for no reason.
