So last night I decided that it would be okay to stay up will 12am Skyping. I was so wrong. This morning I managed to sleep through my host family waking up. A feat I never though imaginable because they are quite loud at six in the morning 7 days a week. And on top of that I slept through my two alarms. I ended up waking up at 7:40, with a ten minute walk to my bus stop, where the bus comes at 7:55 waiting for me. I don't know how I did it, but I managed and made it on time. I only know the the buses I ride, so if I missed it I would not know how to get to school.
Then not sleeping took it's other toll in school. I for the life of me do not understand irregular verbs and Akkusativ and Nominativ, anything. So today; stressed out from almost missing my bus, having little sleep, and being homesick, had a break down in class and just started crying. My teacher had to work one-on-one with me for 20 minutes, and I still don't fully get it. I'm pretty sure everyone in my class thinks I'm crazy. Then on top of that we were talking about our friends, colleges, neighbors, and all that jazz. It made me miss Declan and Kit a whole bunch. I'm pretty sure this is the longest I've ever been away from home.
Now I'm home and I just want to relax. Maybe after I do my 6 homework sheets and study for my quiz tomorrow.
See? Mom was right! Staying up late will kill you in the a.m. (It took me until my 20s to figure out my mom was right. Ha!) Now, if I don't get to bed by 9:00, 9:30, I'm toast the next day. Getting old ain't for sissies.
