Testing my will.

Midterms are usually meant to test one's knowledge of a subject, roughly half-way through the term, so that one can have a decent gauge of his or her skill progress in the relevant area of study. I generally do well on tests so I do not think I give enough weight to the need I have to prepare for these tests. I somehow get by, though, and it is certainly at the cost of my personal peace and sanity.

I also seem to be determined to test my own ability to resist sleep during this time. It is a strange, totally counterproductive, way to procrastinate the things I should be doing instead. I seem to be wanting to come up with a way to fail... or at least have an excuse if such thing occurs... or something. It is quite a silly thing to do. Really, though, why do I do this? I can not think of a single satisfactory answer.

In any case, I feel like the sleep I am now prepared to get is the best next step in life. Hooray for the pillow!
