So I’m spending 65 hours doing school work on a good week. And I try to be in bed by midnight although it’s usually closer to 1am. I’m still getting a good 6-8 hours of sleep which is awesome, and I try to catch up on missed sleep over the weekend.

This is not a good week since it’s midterm week. I’ve been studying 10 hours every day at least for the past week or so. How many of these study hours are actually productive is yet to be determined.

I don’t plan on life getting much better until next Thursday.
