I have a headache… the kind where your forehead is throbbing and you just can’t stop thinking about it. The real problem is that this has been happening everyday.

Last semester I usually had one three-hour class a day and had to work at my GA for about two hours. My ‘long day’ involved two three-hour classes. I did lots of other homework and such throughout the day, but I had time to be lazy too.

This semester I don’t have the luxury of downtime. I have class, my GA job, and interning. Three days of the week I am at a combination of those places for 13 hours a day. There is no more than 15 minutes in between… and that’s for driving back and forth. The other days of the week I don’t intern, but I have two classes back to back and work before/after. They make for 8-9 hour days. I am VERY aware that that is what we call a ‘real job’. But it’s constant. There is no time for a lunch break or internet play or checking my phone.

I miss sleep. And television. And random errands that don’t involve two days of planning.
