It sounds strange but it is true. I am not talking about dreams that I remember. When I was sick a few weeks ago, the doctor gave me some medicine to help me sleep. It is non-narcotic, but an amped up version of Tylenol PM. The problem is, it doesn't affect me the way it is supposed to. I will fall asleep for about an hour or so and then "wake up" where I am fully awake and aware of everything, but I am so relaxed that my eyes aren't opening. My mind works overtime and I swear that I have thought out the rest of my term paper, wrote an entire new first chapter, and wrote three new scenes.

There is a kicker to it though, I am unable to write these thought all down or record them in any way, except in my head. Gold comes out of my brain, and I have to remember it all until I can write it down hours later. I even thought about this. I seemingly have no control over which kind of writing I think about, but the book is usually at the top of the list. I can seriously start writing it in less than 2 short months and I am super excited about that. Back to what I was talking about though. Someone needs to create a device that can extract thoughts and transcribe them while I am in bed. Someone, get on that please, because I am not the person to figure that one out.


The other main downside to the epic writing that pours out of my brain is the total lack of sleep I get when I take my meds. I am feeling a bit out of it right now, but it was time to get out of bed and not be a lazy jerk, especially with a term paper to finish. The only reason i even took a pill last night was because I had a nice fun sinus headache that would not quit last night.


As for everything else.....I begin my FINAL semester on Monday and then in mid-August, i am done with school until January, when I start Grad School. I can't wait because I am so over being in school right now.

We went to see a movie tonight. We had advanced screening passes but so did way too many other people. They way overbooked the movie and getting there an hour in advance wasn't early enough. I bought tickets for a July 4th baseball game, but Ticketmaster decided I wanted tickets for a different game, which would be fine, but this one is on a Tuesday morning. Yeah, I work then. I haven't been sleeping well and it is starting to wear on me. 

I know I am complaining, but once I have it out, I don't have to complain about it again.

So school is dragging on and on. I know I complain about it a lot, but I am really am over it and just hoping to get done and graduate in a couple of months. I only have to get to August and I will be done. Having a nice break of a couple of months before grad school will be welcomed. I feel like I am to the point where all of the classes are the same but only the class titles are changed. Luckily for next semester, I have an elective that I am really interested in, my Capstone class, and only one required class that will feel like another repeat class. I am just ready to be done.

I got sick this past week and it drained everything out of me without me actually feeling overly sick. It was the strangest thing and because of it, I actually went to the doctor. If you know me, you know that means I must be on my deathbed. So because of it, I am feel totally unaccomplished. 

I downloaded Scrivener software for writing. I think the story boarding is going to help me get myself more organized while I am writing. I tend to be all over the place at all times. I will know what happens 3/4 of the way through the story, but no clue what happens the rest of the time. Putting it all out there and then adding to it is really going to help. I can't wait to get everything put together and have my book finished, even just a rough draft. Has anyone else had experience with Scrivener? What do you think of it? Is there a better program that helps you organize while writing?

I just wanted to share a picture I took at the zoo a couple of weeks ago. If you know me, you know i am obsessed with otters. These guys heard someone opening a bag of almonds and came running over thinking they were going to be fed. Funny thing is that they were just fed an hour before. They are just too cute.
