An unusual experience...

It is 7:29 pm on Monday March 27th, and I have not slept since I rolled out of bed on Sunday at 9:00 am. The wierd thing is that I didn't go to bed Sunday night because I wasn't tired, so I put in some serious effort on an already reasonable essay by 8:00 am this morning, I still wasn't tired, or hungry or anything.
VERY wierd.
If I didn't know better, I'd swear that I'm experiencing my first manic episode. You know I did tour Alberta Hospital Edmonton with my Psych class on Friday... perhaps this is just empathetic insomnia. And since I don't handle caffeine well I avoid it except for chocolate....mmm... chocolate... therefore that wasn't the cause. I have a massive problem though... I have a midterm tomorrow morning that I need to put some serious cram time into, but I also need to be conscious in order to get through it.
What to do? What to do!
I'm finally beginning to feel a bit fatigued, but nowhere near as bad as I should feel. I should be either extremely irritable and barely maintaining consciousness, or I should have gotten in 2 hours of sleep already. I really hope this little stint as an insomniac doesn't bite me in the ass. Only time will tell I guess. Wish me luck--or a really fantanstic sleep while I learn by osmosis!
