The episode of Firefly, “War Stories” really didn’t do it for me. Not even close to as powerful as Ariel…too much sex, too much violence, no fun or plot. Eh.

I slept < 6 hrs. on Tuesday night/Wednesday as I prepared for my JOUR final and wrote my last essay for that class, which, by the way I've posted online in PDF and raw LaTeX form (first one this year that I’ve gotten around to putting up!). So I aced that final, then was in the strange situation of falling asleep at 5:30 PM and waking up at 11ish…then falling asleep again at 5:30AM and waking up at noon. Total sleep > 12 hrs. Time spent studying for Mary Davis’s (really hard) AMST 100a final? 2 Hours. Grade on said final? Terrible, I’m sure. Sigh, sigh, sigh. I did great in journalism and turned in a good paper at the expense of a class I was already doing worse in. If I’d have stayed awake as I planned and put in another 5 or 6 hours of studying Davis material, I could have done decently well on that exam. But my excessive need for sleep put me at a disadvantage…again.
