Sleep is for other people!
Oct. 5th, 2010 07:10 am. . .
Hello!
Sooooo. As you may or may not know I have ADHD as well as autism despite the mutually exclusive diagnostic criteria! And I take dexedrine to help deal with that!
Now dexedrine is a very strong stimulant and I take it sort of automatically every morning! This works out very well except when I wake up at like 3 am (1.5 hours after going to sleep in the first place!) and take morning pills in sort of a sleep-induced daze!
I can sort of still sleep after this! Sort of! But only in a very shallow sort of half-awake-half asleep sense, waking up every couple of hours to stare at the clock and go 'oh! is it really still that early?!' And then at like six thirty I just give up and get out of bed!
Rather odd things tend to run through one's mind between three and five am. I distinctly remember at least two separate times when I think I would not have been surprised at all to wake up as a black housecat o.o . . . hmmm, and come to think of it, no times of waking up thinking my bed was on fire, which is usually my most common nightly hallucination. Haven't had access to a campfire recently enough I guess.
(I wrote that stuff, forgot about it completely, then wrote the rest of this post later when I was less delirious.)
Well that was odd. Anyway, I've been working on a sci-fi story, working title Empty Spaces, as a little break from Bluebird. It's a more out there sorta concept than my alibi stories, which so far have had definite conflicts with plots and resolutions. Lack of intricate plot makes writing much easier so this one is going pretty quick ^-^
The eeeesssssays are starting to close in on me from all sides >.< Gonna have to get started on my first Romanticism and Eighteenth century novel essays in the next couple of days. Still pretty much on top of the AdvWriting essays.
School has been ok. I've take overwhelmingly English courses this semester, which contributes to the essay load but also means I don't have any classes I really don't care about, which is great.
