July 25th.
Sorry for the slew of inactivity guys. I've been having major sleep issues to the point where I can't sleep due to the sheer frustration of being unable to sleep. Rather vicious cycle I've fallen in to, but I'm trying to get back out of it.
And for further disruption of ToM, I'll be leaving Friday on a family vacation that I don't particularly want to go on, and will be gone for a week and change.
So...sorry. Hope things still alight.
Much love.

Insomnia sucks hardcore. Fapping is a known solution, and supposedly works better than valium. If you haven't tried that, buy a box of tissues and try a new sleep-aid.

I have a very similar issue to you. I personally use melatonin or Gravol/Benadryl when I want to sleep. I've also been recommended to try listening to calming music, reading, working out, just laying in bed, playing solitaire, or just staying off the computer at ungodly hours. The last one is actually the most important.
But those are just suggestions I've been told.

You could try the old Watch-Nick-@-Nite-Until-You-Pass-Out method.

August 22
Well guys, I'm actively in college. My first class today was Acting Principles, and it'll be way fun. I'm moderately confident on my choice of being a theatre major with a specialization in directing. And film minor. My Monday afternoon/evening, which I've lovingly dubbed "The Gauntlet" starts at 3:30 and ends and 9:00. Script Analysis 3:30-4:20 into General Psychology 4:30-5:45 into Intro to Film 6:00-9:00. That 15 minutes between Psych and Film I have to run to a dining hall and eat something. Thankfully one's close by.
My roomie's...iffy. He talks way too much. So headphones are really nice.
I may end up swapping my Film Editing class out for a core class or something. I dunno. We'll see.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I have that Editing class 4:00 to 5:50. That's it. Well...sometimes on Tuesdays is the Film recitation...from 7:30-9:30.
I'll get into the groove of things.
Much love.

You can see if your dining hall offers lunch to go or something. That way you don't have to eat fast and get out quickly.
And as long as you and your roommate are chill... you guys should be fine.

There is sort of a take out place, but even if the checkout lines are long, it's a rush. I timed myself today because I got out of Psych early. Wendy's had the shortest line, so I did that and ate half my meal on the way there. I may end up eating a big, later lunch and just bringing a snack to eat in those fifteen minutes.
My profs are all pretty chill, first name basis kind of people. The only class I haven't had yet is my one class tomorrow. So we'll see how that turns out.
My RA is really cool too. And he's a theatre major as well, so he's really handy. I've met a gaggle of theatre kids from my acting class. We had smoothies.

Yeah eating a big lunch + snack might be the best plan. What time do your dining halls close?
Also I'm sure you'll figure it out on your own, but join a club or two. Like a theater group or something.
How are your hallmates? And are you in an all guys hall or co-ed?

Most close by 8 I think...:/
Yeah. There's lot of social groups and such. I'm looking into a group called UFO (University Film Organization) and maybe fencing too.
Hallmates are manageable and mostly fun in small doses. Not really people I'd hang out with give or take a few people, but it's OK. No super loud music players or rowdy bastards running through the halls at night.

Sept 12 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cjwoit91SxU This song. And this group in general. I like them. But anyways, HI GUYS! College is pretty interesting and I'm having adjustment troubles, but what else is expected? I got a shitty group for my final project in Script Analysis. We had to assign our 5 person group to 2 actors, director, set designer, and costume designer. I obviously wanted director, but so did everyone else. And no one wanted actor. I'm fine with actor because our script (Summertime) is bloody hilarious, but still. It was a downer and a junior got the director gig so she'll be so bossy and uppity and such to a wee little freshman like me. I've been thinking about NaNoWriMo lately and how I might attempt that and put serious effort into Have Faith. Even if I only get like halfway through I'll still have a foundation. Either way I want to write. I want to rewrite the play I wrote sophomore year into a longer, much more refined and believable story and another new play which I've yet to even think about. Maybe start some short videos with my hallmate Darryl too. Or just random writing. |
