My room is now a quite striking shade of green. It’s almost overwhelming with the room empty. I painted my room today; Gecko Green. I’ve been trying to fix my room up since I came to Pullman this year, but I didn’t get around to it until now. I’m also installing carpet over the cement floor, so now my room will be more of a room and less of a dungeon. I wanted a bright color and the green worked out nicely. I might have to add some accents though so that it doesn’t throw people into shock when they step into my room. I’m quite the gecko myself, covered in green paint spatterings. Next step after carpet is building shelves and then throwing together an entertainment center from some plywood I bought last week. Things are shaping up, and it’s making me happy.

Here’s my eternal problem: insomnia. The inability to sleep. I find myself awake in the longest hours of the night, and I constantly ask myself, why? Why am I up so late when I know I have things to do tomorrow. Why do I waste away the hours on the internet, while adding nothing to the net sum of universe. I could use this time to study, to finish homework, to read the endless pages of material I am instructed to. But of course, I never seem to get around to doing that. Instead, I sit here and do things like make this blog. I don’t really need another blog. I’m sure that I’ll neglect this one as much as I have my past blogs. But there it is, and here I am.

This lack of sleep I fear is never-ending. Sorry that was my moment to play on the lyrics of one of my favorite bands; Linkin Park. It seems that despite the fact that my body would love for me to get 8-10 hours of sleep each night, it has learned to survive on 5-6. However, I feel that it is only a matter of time until my body rebels, and decides to just not wake up. Of course, that will be the day that I have an important assignment due or a test to take. So before this happens, and believe me it’s happened before, I’m going to make a studious effort to go to sleep earlier and get more rest. My body needs it. My mind needs it. And my sanity needs it.
