i was reminded why i only drink water.

i can not handle my caffeine. at all.
some people do not feel its affects. i am not one of those people.

i had two cups of coffee around 730. becuase i was trying to be all college-y. and i have massive amounts of work that needs to get done. in my head i thought, "i will drink some coffee and stay up real late working on my homework and projects."

nope. did not happen.

what did happen is this:
worked on homework for a while. took a break to watch the hills. some more homework. lots of myspace lurking. then at 1am i decided i would go to bed and wake up tomorrow to finish my group paper that is due wednesday.
but then i just laid in my bed for two hours. tossing and turning. and thinking about everything i need to get done.
oh did i mention the coffee i drank (is drank really a word? it looks so wrong) makes me pee non stop? well it does.
so im laying in bed and have to get up to use the bathroom. and then i decided i might as well do my homework now becuase im not falling asleep anytime soon.

lame.
and i really don't even like the taste of coffee.

the problem with being nocturnal in a day-turnal society.

1. i do a lot of my homework in the dark.
2. the cafeteria is not accommodating to 11pm dinner times
3. i never get to eat breakfast
4. when exciting stuff happens in the morning (ex:snow in riverside) i miss it
5. i have a hard time waking up for chapel

so today i woke up to a phone call at 10:02... chapel starts at 10 (but you can roll in as late as 10:15 for credit). so i brushed my teeth and changed out of my pjs. i decided to wear jeans, my rainbows
and this shirt


the problem: its raining outside. and im cold. and i want to shower.

sleeping schedule.

i am really terrible at sleeping.
it is almost impossible for me to keep a routine when it comes to my sleeping.

lets recap.
wednesday i woke up at about 3:30pm
thursday morning i went to bed at 5am
thursdy afternoon i woke up around 1 pm
thursday night i fell asleep on the couch at 11:30pm
i woke up about 3am and move into the bedroom to try to fall asleep. now i find myself on the internet an hour later.

so to fall asleep i need 2 things: noise and a horizontal position.
the horizontal position can be almost anywhere: couch, bed, car seat that is reclined, the floor...
the noise is usually the tv or my ipod.

on my ipod i listen to podcasts. i listen to about 1 and 1/2 church sermons a night. the next night i re-listen to the one a fell asleep to the previous night.
podcasts i am subscribed to:

1. cal baptist chapel- we normally have good chapel speakers and i listen to all the services i miss. (listen to dr david platt series, and francis chan)
2. cornerstone simi- i love francis chan. this is his church. the grace series is good. but basically all the series are good.
   
3. the grove- sometimes i wake up early and go to the 9 service but for the times that i just go to the junior high service at 10:45 i will podcast the sermons. so i can stay connected to the church community. i also have all of travis's stuff saved. because i love that guy.
   
4. living truth:examining the mormon church- i subscribed to this podcast in preparation for my trip to utah last year.
   
5. mars hill bible church- rob bell. nuff said.
   
6. the porch church- a while back i downloaded all the old sermons from the porch (rip). i have been working my way through those teachings.
   
7. the rock church- a church in utah. tagline "for people interested in god, but not religion.
   
8. rock harbor- after reading "jesus of seburbia" i subscribed to mike erre's church.
   
9. sandals- they always have really interesting and relevant series. i go to the 7pm service about 40% percent of my sundays. and then i podcst the ones i miss.
   
10. the stirring- once dan announced his departure i subscribed to the stirring. i wanted to make sure he wasnt joining a cult. this church comunity checks out, they are pretty solid

so there you have it. that is how i fall asleep each night. right now i have 108 new podcasts.
but im always looking for new stuff to listen to.

so does anyone have anything i should add to my list?
