Jet.... lag.

So jet lag really wasn't a problem when I came in January, but I now realize that it was because I slept 12 hours a night the first two nights I was here and then I was fine. Silly me, I thought it was because I had stayed up the night before leaving the U.S. and slept some on the plane. ha!

I tried the same tactic... stayed up almost all night before flying home and after travelling for nearly 24 hours, I was ready to crash when I got to Terri's late that Friday evening. Since I went to bed just after midnight (having only slept 3 hours in the previous two days), you can imagine my surprise when I woke up on my own around 7:30am and couldn't get back to sleep for anything... same thing happened the next two days... I was so excited to realize I had finally slept through the night when I woke up on Monday morning.

Well, I figured it would be easier coming back, right? Wrong. I got in late Sunday night and have had to get up early for class every day. Even when I've been dead tired at 1am, it's taken me at least an hour to fall asleep and I'm dragging myself out of bed the next morning. I've been too tired to think about anything during the day so I apologize for the lack of e-mails and updates this week. I feel better today... I decided to go out with Erin last night since I wouldn't have been able to sleep anyway and was finally able to sleep in this morning, so I think I'm good at this point. Finally!
