I hate daylight saving time. It’s such a bother.

Twice a year, we have to get around to changing our clocks. While this isn’t a huge pain, this simple act creates problems for me and a lot of other people. As mentioned previously, I don’t sleep enough. This process ends up altering my sleep pattern and causes more issues in trying to fall asleep. It also creates problems contacting other people. While most areas of the United States follow daylight savings time rules, some places do not. This makes it difficult to remember what time it is in other locations where … Continue Reading

Music is beautiful. I love listening to it. I was going to say that it doesn’t matter what kind of music it is and that I listen to just about anything. That’s just not true. Music does matter.

This is occasionally a problem with homework, too. I usually end up writing a bunch of things down, and after a lot of editing, I can make it work similarly to what I had originally intended.

It’s not that my vocabulary is poor, but I would say that it is a bit underdeveloped through a general lack of … Continue Reading

As is true for the majority of people that I know, I really like sleep. This should not be a surprise for anyone. It’s generally considered to be an essential function for bodily maintenance, and the feeling of refreshment after a good sleep is absolutely amazing.

However, I want to point out that I don’t sleep very well in general. I have established times that I go to bed just about every night in an attempt to adjust my body to one particular schedule. I rarely am able to fall asleep quickly. Thoughts swirl around in my mind like a wild … Continue Reading
