Spring Break 08

It has definitely been a minute since I blogged but I have returned and have a lot to share.

Finals
Finals were stressful as all get out. I had projects, take home finals, regular finals, and papers due in 3 days. I was stressed. I thought my hair would fall out I was so stressed. I almost cussed out my Hinduism professor. He had the nerve to try and restrict me going to the bathroom. Now never in the history of... cant use the word I wanted to use... college did I ever ask to use the restroom. He actually threw a fit. I sat there though. The Baltimore was about to come out of me and I was going to go Juggernaut on that ass. But I just kept taking my test. But I made it and came home Wednesday.

Break
This break is exciting!! I have found a job!! I will be teaching at a small Catholic school named St. Ignatius Loyola Academy. I am soooooo I excited. It is a small private Catholic middle school for impoverished males in Baltimore. Cnel and I actually attended this school for our middle school years. This is where we met. But I am really glad to have found post-graduation work.

I have not really done anything fun this break. I just have been resting. I really really just needed to chill. So I have been hiding out in my house. It is what I do.

I also had to take care of some health issues. I sleepwalk, also known as non-REM parasomnia. It is serious. I have grabbed and punched my girlfriend in my sleep. I have found myself in the living room after falling asleep in my bedroom. I am not worried though; there is a simple solution. More sleep at an earlier time The sleep specialist told me that I need to get to sleep earlier. I cannot deprive myself of sleep at all. He was worried because I have had violent episodes. So I have to go back and secure my apartment. Keep cords off the middle of the floor, no sharp objects in reach, lock windows etc. The specialist said imagine a 2 year old with a 21 year old strength. If the change in my sleep pattern does not make it better, I have to take meds for it.

I am not worried at all. I did a sleep study which was fun. They hooked me up to these machines in a sleep lab last night. Then asked me some questions and I went to sleep. It was especially easy because I was tired. Then I woke up, they unhooked me, I took a shower, then left. It was easy peezy.

Other than that, my health is good, my life is good, I cannot complain. Talk to you all later.

February 27th?? You posted this that long ago? Where have I been? Regardless, I'm so glad to hear you made it through your finals and ESPECIALLY about the job! Yay! Your turn to give some back to the young minds. :) As always, I am PROUD of you.

I suffer from a sleep disorder, have since I was a child, been on all kind of prescription meds...so I understand that. Never been violent though, but on ambien I did a lot of sleepwalking...and sleep 'other things'.
