My last entry before the semester ends and I leave this school for good.

This really isn’t the most involved blog entry nor is it informative or deep in anyway but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this class and I feel like I’ve learned a lot. This isn’t me sucking up (per say) I just thought people should know that Prof. Savaglio is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone who needs to take this class.

Also as to answer a comment I received on the review I did for the Julia Nunes album, I would never publish in this school paper because I believe it is water downed, politically biased, uninteresting garbage and I would never want to put my name anywhere near it.

Why am I always so tired? When does the work cease?

As a college student I constantly find myself having trouble staying awake in class. I’ve tried everything from taking caffeine pills to chugging redbull but no matter what I do I can never seem to be alert and focused. This has become a chronic habit and I had to look into my  own schedule and see what has been making me tired all semester. After thinking deeply to myself the answer soon became more and more clear to me. The amount of work I had been expected to do this semester is completely outrageous. On a nightly basis I found myself staying up till 2 am doing mounds of work only to get little or no sleep. Soon professors began to wonder why I’m constantly sick or unfocused and all I kept telling them is with the amount of work I get on a daily basis I don’t get a healthy amount of sleep. According to doctors world round the average amount of sleep a normal human being should get is 9 + hours yet here I find myself constantly getting 4 to 5 hours a day. Because of my lack of sleep I can’t get anything done because I always have to nap in order to even begin to function. Something must be done to stop this problem of sleep deprivation. In my opinion professors should get together and discuss deadlines on assignments so no major assignment is due on the same day forcing a student to spend countless hours awake at night. However, in today’s day and age with a demand for excellence from students across the globe, unfortunately sleepless nights will remain to be linked with college and that will never change.
