Day 46

Slept like crap last night. Went to sleep at about midnight with every light on, because John was still working on school stuff (or YouTube-I never know-) I had a crazy dream or spasm or something. All I know is that the lights were still on at 2:00 when I woke up yelling "NO!" and swatting my empty water bottle across the room. I remember this because John said, at this point -and I know he was talking to me because we made eye contact- "Way to go, Spiderman!" WHAT!??! That was it, because I was out again like a light. But not like ours. Because John woke me up again at 5:00 getting into bed, and didn't bother to turn the lights off. So I got up and turned all the lights off before climbing into bed once more.

Otherwise, today has been alright. I've been analyzing letters from Chinamen in John Day OR in the really late 19th century pretty much all afternoon, except for the phone call I made and the late lunch break I took right after class to go meet my friend James who was in town for the day.

Overall, I think I need to have a breakdown every once in a while to keep me from getting too comfortable, and that's what happened last night. There's a lot of things I still have to do, but it looks a little less daunting now.

Read the first half of Ecclesiastes again. Man, I love that book. I also came across a quote in one of the letters I've been working on. "Who could know that Fate is always opposite to man's design?" It's like Murphy's Law, except cooler sounding.

I think that's it for today. Overall status, I'm doing well.
