the impossible dream

i dreamt the other day that i could be happy with 4 hours of sleep each day. how awesome would that be? man, the things i could do if i was perfectly rested after 4 hours of sleep! that's not only extra waking hours, it's also more productive waking hours, since i wouldn't be sleep deprived!

in other news, life is insane. i'm still super busy, spending full days at work and just barely keeping up with all the stuff that's coming my way. it's not a bad thing entirely, since it means that we have lots of subjects coming in for the study, but it's utterly nuts. i've been home for very short stretches of time, other than to sleep. it's funny...when i'm stressed or moody, sleep is such a great thing 'cause it gives me a break...but when i'm happy and life is good, sleep just gets in my way. i feel like it's such a waste of my time, i have so many better things to do. heh. it's nice to just sleep in every once in a while, though. i haven't even gotten to do that on the weekends, recently, 'cause there's always something to do.

i still haven't gotten any of my holiday shopping done. there's just been no time! i'll take some time off during the week between christmas and new year's, maybe, and do it then.

does anyone have cool new year's plans? i want to do something, but i don't know what! new year's is my favorite holiday, so i must party! heh. i usually host, but my place isn't big enough for anything this year, and my parents are hosting at their place, so i can't relocate to there. if anyone wants to volunteer a place, i don't mind organizing!
