However, last Friday was different. That day would have been the third day in row during which I only got less than 6 hours of sleep. Why did this happen? Well, despite keeping my procrastination at an acceptable level, during each day of the week something school-related conveniently came up and kept me up late.
Anyway back to Friday afternoon. I finished my homework, and got out of the Hicks library and impatiently looked forward to a weekend of well-earned rest. However, as I walked from Hicks towards my dorm, I noticed that anyone who passed by me looked at me in a strange way. I ignored the looks.
At my dorm, as I went to the bathroom to get a shower, I looked at myself in the mirror and realised the reason for those strange looks. The person who was looking back at me had a red bloodshot eyes and dark purple bags creeping right below them. The combination of sleep deprivation and computer usage had tired my eyes out to the breaking point. I hope I won’t be needing higher powered glasses. That would really suck.
I LOVE the double screens at hicks! I have promised myself that as soon as I finish grad school and get a full time job, I am going to get myself a big office desk with two big monitors- it really does make life easier!
ReplyDeleteGood luck getting some sleep!
