Monday Blues

The monday blues bug....stings me so hard! what can be worse than having monday blues??

1) when its accompanied by an exam paper in the early morning
2) when u only have 4 hours of sleep the night before
3) when u start thinking about the next paper immediately after this paper ended
4) when its a drizzling monday

woke up at 630 this morning coz i've got a morning paper...1 hour to bathe and eat breakfast and get ready...one hour to get to boonlay....its USUALLY ok for me to wake up at this time...but this morning was a bit different...coz i had insomnia last night! yes...doesn't it sound familiar to you driz?

i simply dun have exam mood last night...finished the readings...slack ard online and watch a bit of tv and decided at 12am that its time to sleep....

12am: going to sleep early to be fully awake for the battle tomoro...but in the end i toss and turn, toss and turn....my minds filled with lotsa things except for pe stuff (pe is the paper i'm having the next day)

1am: my sister came back from her 'hot date' and there i was still awake! in the end poor her got blamed by me for banging the door and drawers and waking me up though she didn't....sorry ah...i'm just veri pek chek with the fact tat i can't sleep! so i went out, got a drink...hopefully will be able to sleep when i get back...

130am: look at the alarm clock and got stressed about sleeping...how ridiculous! stressed about sleeping instead of my paper tomoro??!!! i desperately wanna sleep but couldn't....its painful lor....sheez....i wanna sleep or else how to face the paper tomoro??

2am: my sister finished surfing the net and lie on the bed to sleep...i got up for a drink again...she asked me "still can't sleep?" my replied was " yah lor!!!" i think she can sense the irritated tone in me too.....

215am: heard my sister's steady breathing....even she has fallen asleep! what's wrong with me?? why doesn't zhou1 gong1 wanna meet me! i even resort to counting sheeps knowing well that its doesn't work for me...ahaha....by the 30th sheep i gave up.....

230am: looked at the alarm clock again...and started counting the number of hours of sleep i'll be getting - 4 hours....still trying hard to forcing myself to sleep...

3am: i was actually so happy when i finally yawned...hugged my pillow...and slowly slowly....i FINALLY fell asleep after struggling for 2-3 hours

i have a feeling its because of my body alarm....coz this sem nv go back sch to study...so usually sleep very late like 1-2am and then wake up late like 9-10am....but on the other hand....i purposely woke up early the day before and even forgo the daily coffee which is part of my diet during exams....

my paper this morning was all about writing.... 2 and 1/2 hours of non stop writing till my finger became sore from holding the pen....the thing was the questions were not difficult...in fact they were relatively easy....almost everything can be found in the readings and lec notes....that's the prob....u need to find the info and write it fast (25 marks essay qn about 35 mins given) but at the same time coz the question is so easy that u gotta find ways to differentiate yourself...so end up u also need time to find additional info to gain tat comparative advantage....didn't really finish the last qn though....thot if i've got more time i'll prob think of more points to write....but anyway i'm glad it has ended...

1 down, 2 more to go...

immediately after the paper, 304 start creeping into my head....i realised i can't really remember what i've studied so far....sianz...one seminar can take one day lor...aren't i slow?? *stressed* and haven started on 306 either....sianz....

after lunch reached home and it was drizzling.....seem to have added a tinge of qi1 liang2 to my monday blues....and now thinking of the fact that i gotta start on 304 again doesn't seem to help much either....

well...perhaps thinking of the stuff i wanna do after exam will help? at least something to look forward to.....

Yes girl, a few things sound familiar to me.
(1) monday blues
(2) DRIZZL-ing
(3) Exams
(4) Insomnia

Poor you to have insomnia. thinking too much right, its okie, only 2 more papers to go, cant be bad, try to revert back to normal bio clock slowly?? sigh... your poor sis. wahahaha... she must have felt this,"what did i do wrong? Bang drawers??" anyway, coincidentally, i had insomnia at the same time that you did, and i fall asleep at 230 with the help of Diazepam.EEEks!

hey babe!~ Ha. Guess what!~ I think I havent slept in days!~ Its like I'm possessed!~ Ho. I've been reading alot abt insomnia since last time la. Coz I get insomnia too everytime exam comes. So u're definitely not alone. The most effective solution is to do exercise ard evening time. For like 20 mins or so. And if u lay on the bed for 30 min and still can't sleep? Wake up and do some light activity and eat a snack. cookies with warm milk are the best!~ Don't lie on the bed for more than 30 min coz u'll get more stressed tryin to sleep. =) Hope it helps if it ever happens again!~ jia you!~
