Thinking, Always Thinking

4 am - Can't sleep

For the past week, I seem to have been suffering from I-can't-sleep-before-5am-ism.

Perhaps it has to do with the fact that I've been sleeping til 1pm. Don't know if that's the case or if there is just lots on my mind. Ever start thinking of one thing which leads to the next and before you know it, you feel completely overwhelmed? It's always one extreeme or another for me. Otherwise it would be not thinking about anything and filling my days with meaningless activities such as shopping, watching tv and talking on the phone.

Finally I feel ready to move on. After a month of bumming around, I'm ready. School starts Jan 3rd.

No, this is not grad school yet. I'm thinking of doing a one year diploma in 'Professional' Counselling. If I have managed to survive thus far without taking out a student loan (courtesy of mum and dad) my luck has finally run out.

It will cost C$15,000 over the course of one year. Then there's also rent, food, gas, car insurance, gym, cell phone, entertainment costs to worry about. No, I seriously cannot afford it but that's what student loans are for, I suppose. Think long term!! Keep your eyes on the finish line... have faith, have faith.
