Sleep

     I'm back to being tired again. My lack of sleep is catching back up with me and there's nothing I can do about it. I enjoy sleep, don't get me wrong. But, when me being tired is having an effect on my work and school life, that's when I really get annoyed. Sleeping is an amazing feeling, but why does it have to take so much up of our time? 

      Imagine a world where we didn't have to sleep. If the world was constantly churning at all hours of the day, what more could we get done as a species? How much further would we have advanced than we already have? I love thinking about this because, to me, I feel like the world would be 2x more advanced than everything we have to account for at the moment.

     I feel like you can't really do more than ask questions. Nobody is going to really know what the world would have been like without sleep. I said it could be more advanced, but what if we just got worn out? What if our lack of sleep ended up defeating us and we were even worse off than we are now?

Obsession With Apple

     So, over the past month or two my friends have really started to notice an issue with me. They never really say much, never really do much; I can just tell by the look on their faces that they're annoyed with something.Come to find out, I'm obsessed with Apple Products. It all started in 8th grade when the awesome, or so I thought, Apple iPod Nano came out. I needed one. So, I did everything possible to get one until I had one. Little did I know that this was the start of a long, drawn-out obsession that would haunt me for quite some time.

     I say "quite some time" for the fact that I have no clue if I will have this obsession forever. I like Apple because it's modern, stylish and classy. If something new or better comes out that I enjoy more than Apple products, I'll switch. But, all in all, I don't see anything like that happening anytime soon!

     Apple is the new "in." People all around the world are realizing this. MacBooks and iPhones have taken over the computer and phone industry, making it extremely difficult for any competitors to even compete! 

     For now, I'm okay with this obsession. I love the products, enjoy using them, and like being seen with them. I'm Justin, and I'm an Apple Addict.

     I am so tired today. I really don't understand the concept of getting up early. Ever since I've been a kid, I've hated getting up early. It's not fun, it's not exciting. It's asinine. I feel tired all day, I never have enough energy, I just don't feel up to being myself. It's tiring in its self!
     On the other hand, I have a lot more time in my day. When I wake up early, I usually go to bed feeling more accomplished, for the simple fact that I have more time to do the things I need to, and get them done in a tidy fashion. I see the whole day, verses getting up and it about be time to go back to bed!
     If I had a choice, I'd make the days longer and myself require a lot less sleep. Don't get me wrong, I love sleeping, I just would love to at least have some time and not be out in my own world because I didn't get enough sleep the night before! I'm just downright exhausted!
     When someone finds a cure for my sleeping disorder, let me know. (;


My mood for the day:

     This semester has already been crazy and today is the first day of classes for me. I started a new job in December and it's been pretty crazy! I work for K and C Stepping Stones and take care of people who are in need of a little extra care day-to-day. Just last week, I worked 60 hours. Some people hear me say that, or find it out, and wonder how I can function after working so many hours. The answer is simple; I love what I do.
     In just the past month of working here, I have a whole new perspective on bullying and respect for others. I used to make fun of those who had mental disabilities. I'd laugh, point fingers, and call them names. Little did I realize that working with these people I was making fun of, was soon to be my calling. When I go to work, I don't feel like I'm at work - I feel like I'm having fun! I love my job! Most people who hear their alarm go off at 4 or 5 in the morning, don't have any motivation to get up and go to work. I, on the other hand, love to go.
     To help you understand why I love my job so much, lets go back in time a little. In January 2012 when I moved to Springfield, I had all intentions of getting in the Nursing Program at MSU. After starting classes, I realized I was in for a much different ride that I had expected. We were dissecting dead bodies, and learning at a very rapid pace. It was not for me. It killed me to change my major, but I couldn't sit back and ignore my feelings, when it was a decision I would be stuck with for forever.
