9 pm: All the lights are out and the world is completely silent. I have to get up at 5 am so me falling asleep is extremely important. Ugh. Sleep, sleep, sleep. Let's get to sleep! Let's count those sheep! One, two, three, let's get to sleep. Ahhhhh.

10 pm: Still wide awake. I'm a little anxious considering there's only seven hours of potential sleep time left. If I don't fall asleep in five minutes I'll turn on the light and read for a while... Five minutes is too long. There's no way I'm going to fall asleep so let's just read now.

11 pm: Now I feel nice and tired! Let's just turn the lights off and shut our eyes.

12 pm: Why. Can't. I. Sleep.

1 am: What was that noise? Did someone break into my apartment? I don't have anything they would want though! Don't they already realize this? Maybe I should go and tell them so they don't end up wasting their time? I think I'll go and do that. Huh. Nobody here. Maybe I scared them and they're just hiding. "I don't have anything you'd want but if you come out I'll make you a hot chocolate and a batch of cookies!" I guess I really scared them if they're willing to turn down that offer. "Well, have a good day then." Back to bed I guess. I really wanted to talk to someone tonight but I guess it's for the best that they just leave.

2 am: It was a ghost! My apartment is haunted! I always love making new friends!
