Sleep? What’s that?

It’s 2 in the morning. I don’t think I’ll be going to sleep anytime soon.

My sleep’s been quite irregular past few weeks, which I guess is normal for someone on long holidays. I’d sleep maybe four hours when it’s dark out, and then there’s a random three-hour stretch sometime else in the day when I’m likewise knocked out.

I’ve been trying to fix that, it’s not healthy at all, but I guess that’s like when BP was saying they were trying to fix that gigantic leak in their underground oil well.

"We've got this completely under control."

It’s not all bad, though. I can put it to my advantage where fasting is concerned. As I write this, I’m nibbling on Tiger biscuits.

I kinda love fasting month, actually. It’s got a special charm to it. Suddenly everyone’s treating everyone else nicer. Even the people who don’t fast seem to treat you nicer for some reason. Not that I’m complaining.

When my family sits down for sahur, it’s funny. Because 4 out of the 5 of us are short-sighted and have been using contacts in place of glasses since forever. At 5 in the morning nobody’s going to bother putting the lenses on, so you’ve got five people crowding around a table, eating and looking really groggy, most of them looking out of place as they wear glasses that are thick enough to stop bullets.

So this morning (literally yesterday morning) I drove to Shah Alam to pick up my results in MSU. They were already out since last Friday but I couldn’t get at them just then. On account of being too lazy to get out of bed.

I got a GPA of 3.8 yet again, bringing my CGPA to a total of 3.73 after a year of hard work.

I missed out on Czech in the end, but I am still pretty proud of myself. I worked hard for the last two sems and it shows. Missing out on Czech, I can take as a reminder to keep my priorities straight next time, because if I wasn’t fooling around during first sem I would have made it.
