Pathetically Tired

I am so pathetically tired. As in, have no real excuse to be, and yet can still barely stand up.

Needing sleep isn't pathetic. I recognize that some super humans claim to be fine with just a few hours, bit I think they lie. I can't imagine functioning with less than a norm of 8. I can do less, but not consistently. I need my sleep, love it, crave it. And I use the best of my student powers to ensure that I get it. Law school is hard and time consuming, but it does have flexible scheduling, especially now that I can plan all of my own classes.I've sucked it up and done classes at 10 am or even (gasp!) 9 am. But generally I try to get some good sleep time in my schedule. And then after finals, which suck in many ways, but are even more free flowing schedule wise, and then vacation. Well, I haven't gotten up before 9 am since the middle of April.

Until now. I haven't even had to get up all that crazy early. Today I had to be at the courthouse downtown at 9 am - you know, the normal time people go to work. I didn't even need to stay long, I was home by 1pm.

By 4 in the afternoon I was barely conscious. I kind of waddled over to the bed after requesting an "apple' from Zach and being very frustrated that he didn't understand that I was asking him to play some soft music on the i-pod as opposed to bringing me fruit. I crashed hard, and only got up at 6 because Zach cajoled me to. I'm already tired again. This after all of three strenuous hours of watching court hearings and taking a brief tour.

The real world is going to eat me alive.
