I’m too stressed to sleep lately. Last night my brain refused to work after 11pm and I recognize the need to go to bed, but then I still couldn’t fall asleep for a while. Normally, I’m pretty good about sleep, it takes me a very short time to fall asleep but in the last few weeks I’ve been waking up early and it takes me awhile to fall asleep. This morning I woke up at 5 something, gave up being asleep at 5:40 and graded papers instead. I finished one class but not the second class so for them I postponed the deadline for Paper 5. Having teacherly powers of extensions is great sometimes.

Class itself went fine – the students didn’t mind the extension and we worked on thesis and how to make sure that when they give a quote, they explain it in context.

I got a bagel between classes and after classes I returned the library book and paid $5 late fee. At least it is not $62. But now I’m tempted to use that money to get “Farscape: Compete Series” on Amazon since they are selling it for ridiculously cheap price of $59.

Then for the late afternoon my brain refused to work again. I will try to get more sleep later.

I saw the "Borgias" trailer - I do love Jeremy Irons and I am getting geeky over this.
