Woke up circa 2:30am, after four hours' sleep; made executive decision as 6am rolled around to try and get another solid hour and a half's sleep and then go into the library 'til 10pm. Since the first chapter of my dissertation is due in next Friday, right after the presentation I have to give next Thursday, and all.

6:30am: sleep

7:00 - 7:30am: kept awake by grandmother's screaming harpy voice getting my sister out of bed for school, because she is too fat to want to make the journey upstairs.

8:00am: achieve sleep once more.

8:30am: woken by grandmother's screaming harpy voice from downstairs trying to get ME out of bed.

9:00am: get call on mobile from mother concerned that I missed my counselling appointment yesterday because I slept right through my alarm. JESUS, I WONDER WHY.

9:30am: relax enough to achieve sleep again.

10:00am: woken up by, SURPRISE, grandmother's screaming harpy voice.

11:00am: nerves too shot to sleep; roll out of bed.

Apply more or less this same pattern retroactively for the last... I don't even know, and it may not be all that hard to see why I am so tired, I am on the verge of hysteria.

Well, off to the library.

*Hugs* One word: Earplugs.

((Pay no attention to that angel behind the curtain. *Facepalms*))

Seconding earplugs.

*hugs a lot* I hope you can get stuff done today, at least. And if not... it's not the end of the world.

Upside: with the amount of times (3) I've been sent stomping up and down six flights of stairs in search of heavy volumes in the past few hours alone, I'm getting the best workout I've had in weeks.

I hope you get work done. \o/ Also recommending earplugs, unless you need to wake up with an alarm.

It stunned me to realise I miss the library a lot, actually.

Oh, geez. *hugs* If earplugs will work for you, yeah, I highly recommend them here.

Best of luck with the library. (And as others have said, if you don't get as much done as you wanted, there are other days. It'll work out. But best of luck, anyway.)

Am late. Earplugs that are comfy enough to sleep in are definitely called for. I am finding it as difficult to send cheesy hugs across the channel as across the ocean. Whyyyyy? ♥
