i think i need to sleep more.

This is my current aim away message:

so... did you know that prolonged sleep deprivation leads to a decrease in the quality of your eyesight, as well as a diminishing ability to maintain body temperature? not like i know that from personal experience or anything...

And that's all I have to say about that. Now, all my major projects are done for a while, so I can go to bed at a civilized time again, since I have to wake up at 8:30 every morning, regardless of how late I'm up.

But anyway... being up late led to a conversation with a friend who is also up late a lot, and that conversation got me thinking about prayer. I realized how much trust is involved, and I didn't realize it until today. I mean, I had last week's craziness, and this week's sleeplessness, to teach me a little bit more about telling God what's going on in my life and trusting that I'm not going to lose my mind, trusting God to keep me sane. But I guess, now that its Thursday and my classes are over for the week, and I can look back on the past two weeks, its easier to see the trust involved than when I'm actually struggling through it. So that's what I realized today. Talking to God about stuff involves trust that He's listening.

To top it off, God started answering this one prayer I have, and its really cool to see how things are moving along.

And in a way, its a good thing I'm sleep deprived today, because if I weren't, I'd probably be having some bittersweet memories. Sleep deprivation stunts emotion, so my current memories have no adjective in front of them. Today should have been a bad day for me, but it hasn't been. Still, I enjoy emotions, good or bad, so I think I'm going to go try and retrieve them by taking a nap.
