Chilly? Or Motivational Dreams!

Yet again things are going slow right before the ramp up to midterms, anyway so far everything is going okay classes are "interesting" when you can both hear and understand what the professors are talking about (which most of the time I can), although this weeks Physo professor did decide that we all needed to watch a USSR propaganda film. Where they where bring dogs back from clinical death 15min later with "no" ill effects, and "reanimating" severed dog heads to top all of this off are professor is from Germany, ( to be fair there was some real information on the heart and how it works although it was very early in the film).
Moving on from being scared, I made chilly yesterday and it was pretty good except, I am not used to making it in such a small portion so it ended up being a bit (A lot!) spicier then I intended, it was still good though after I got over the shock.
And since it was a slow week I figured I would talk about sleep or the lack there of. Professional school students have a hard time letting themselves relax enough to get to sleep. Unless its a unearthly hour of the morning, or they distract there minds enough to fall asleep, the first way is pretty self explanatory you stay up working/studying till 3-4AM in extreme cases 5-6AM this is obviously unhealthy and we should all shoot for at least 6-7 hours of sleep a night, (I am not saying that I get that much sleep every night but I am trying to go to bed earlier. The second has multiple ways off working all with there own unique side effects, for myself I like to listen to a podcast while trying to fall asleep, but I always set a sleep timer and I try to stop and take my headphones out before falling asleep (if the sound didn't stop then my brain would still be listing to it and i wouldn't be as rested the loophole is that if you can listen to your music/podcast, without headphones then you can just turn the volume down to where you can barley hear it however setting a sleep mode up is always a good option). Any who I say all of this just so I can talk about how I couldn't sleep a couple of weeks ago, because for whatever reason my brain was writing a motivational speech, (and let me tell you it's a pretty good one) now I have never given or written a motivational speech before (I have given a lot of speeches just not this kind), and I am still not sure if I was just trying to motivate myself or if I really wanted to brighten my classmates days. Regardless I could not fall asleep right away it would always be 2-3AM before I would finally come to and figure out that I had been laying in bed for four hours, imaging myself giving this speech that I was writing as i went. It was not till four nights of this that I deiced to just give in and put this thing on paper, and since I did I have not had trouble falling asleep, even right before a test when I am stressed I can lay down listen to a few minutes of a podcast and then go straight to sleep.
Sometimes you need motivate yourself, and sometimes you have bad timing, but no matter what we all absolutely need to sleep or our brains will shut down and no amount of USSR reanimation magic can help you then so just eat a big bowl of chilly, and let you mind and body take a nice long rest (just not during class ok), Till next week when I will probable talk about some other random subject, see you then.
