Dear Diary

Part 16 - Sleep and Trips

6-4-17

So good news. I passed ALL of my classes this year. I got all 7.5 credits. I now only need like 3-4 more to be able to graduate.

I'm actually surprised that I passed my math class. Apparently the test I took that I felt like I did great on. I didn't. I got a 54 on it. But I still somehow passed. *SHRUG*

Anyways

My friend Ash is feeling down again. It's interesting to see how I stumble over words and how I can't find the right words unless I'm being extremely serious.

Don't you ever wonder how people in books and shows and animes always find the words to have that one speech that gets everyone's morals up, gives them strength to do whatever. THAT speech. I just did one without thinking of it. I won't tell you what I said but I think it got my point across.

And I'm proud of myself for that.

Also today is our anniversary for our friendship. It was exactly one year ago today that I messaged Ash on Wattpad and created the start of our friendship.

CHEERS TO THE POWER OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP!!!

I swear I had nothing full of sugar or caffeine.

Recently I've been having trouble sleeping. I don't know why, it's just I can't. The other day I stayed up for about 24 hours before I went to bed and Mom woke me up like 2 hours later so I could go to the store for her. FOR SOUR CREAM. I couldn't get back to sleep for about another 12 hours. I eventually just took a couple of dremamine, which is a motion sickness medicine. The biggest side effect is drowsiness. I was able to fall asleep about an hour later. I woke up about 5 hours later. It's the minimal amount for me but if I sleep less than six hours, I better have my coffee or I'm super grumpy. I stayed up another 24 hours. I tried to sleep. I did. I just couldn't. I stayed up a night last night but after I got home from bowling (I bowl on the weekends. There's nothing you can really do in a small ass town like mine) I was able to sleep for about 2 hours again before Mom woke me up. This time I just told her to let me sleep because I needed it and I didn't wake up until 8. YAY SLEEP!!!

Is insomnia hereditary? Because my parents are insomniacs. So I don't know if I am developing insomnia or if there's another reason for the lack of sleep. Some of you may say that I on purposely stayed up but the thing is, I never felt tired during that time. I haven't had candy in forever and I swear I had no caffeine either. My grandma says I'm just getting excited for Wisconsin this week.

I'm leaving Thursday!! AAAAAAHHHHHH!!! I still need to do so much. Actually in the grand scheme of things it's really not much. I even created a game plan for it too! On Monday I'm doing all of my laundry. Tuesday I'm packing. And Wednesday I'm super cleaning my already pretty clean room. Because I super cleaned it last week. Then Thursday I leave, we stay overnight in St Louis, on Friday we go to the zoo while my friend drives her way down. She meets up with us, and then her family basically adopts me for two months. Yay!!!

I'll admit I'm excited for it, but not enough to lose sleep over it.

When I was talking with Justine, who is the friend I'm visiting, she was saying that how everyone was excited to meet me. I reply that I was excited to meet her friends and her family (other than her mother. Obviously I met the parent. She's awesome. I call her mom sometimes) and Justine let's me know that she has friends, but they were more the aquaintance type friends, where you talk to them at school and hang out at school but you really would hang out after school. She said that was because she couldn't help but compare them to me.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad at that. She said I should be happy because I set the level of friendship. No one can apparently beat the standard level of friendship I set for her. That actually makes me happy. Because I'm apparently that awesome.

Hell yeah

Anyways I need to go to sleep. I stayed up all night but it's fine this time because I slept until 8 yesterday afternoon. So I'll see you guys in my next update

Bye!
