i'm glad i'm finally awake. i passed out thursday afternoon when i got back from detroit and slept pretty much all of friday, saturday, sunday. it was a compound burnout, the type that is inevitable after so many weeks of 30 hour days. when these burnouts hit, the tiredness is just relentless...

for example: i was able to make it to get groceries on saturday morning, but i was so tired and void of energy that i could barely lift my school bag full of groceries. that's the same school bag of groceries that i normally fill and carry on my back without any effort whatsoever.

i don't think i've been awake more than four hours at a time since. but it's weird because you don't sleep long periods when you burn out like this, either. it's three hours awake, four hours asleep, 2 hours awake, 3 hours asleep, etc.

i'm alert now, though. thankfully. and hopefully for the next 30 hours...
