awake is the new sleep

so wake up. -ben lee

that is the theme for the new school year. i complain a lot about how i never did anything last year but study, but the truth is that the reason i didn't have much time is because i slept too darn much. all the sleeping took the place of other fun things i could have been doing, like seeing the city and spending more time with friends. so this year, i have to sleep less (no more than 8 hours, ever! or at least never more than 8 hours except maybe once a month because let's be honest sometimes a girl's gotta sleep in), study more, and do more. I can do yoga, and cook healthy meals, update my blog thrice per week and see my friends 1-2x per week, and [most importantly] excel in my studies. so there it is, friends. help me stay accountable. if you notice me slacking or not waking up until after 9am, call me up and say "hey loser, get your act together. it's called coffee and a cold shower".

ok, awesome. more later, i just had to get that off my chest.

in other news, i'm flying back to the district tomorrow [cue nervousness, anticipation, dread, and melancholy]. i can't wait to see my friends that i've neglected all summer though. i love you guys!!
