Sleepy. I took steps to get in contact with my ol' director of my program so she can help me with my portfolio. In the meantime, juggling a few jobs and classes isn't fun. It's not like the jobs are hard; the most intense one is probably my internship, with the other jobs being paid time to do homework.
The main issue is just the lack of time to actually decompress, rest, and socialize. Oftentimes I find myself really tired. Something I've noticed (for years now) is that I lack a lot of energy compared to my peers, and unfortunately caffeine makes me sleepy. So I can only rely on food, sleep, and exercise. Haven't been doing great in any of those categories. I feel guilty eating. ._. Anyways. On the plus side, my apartment has free lattes and cocoa, which tastes nice. And the club room is surprisingly empty most of the time, so I'm comfy working in there.
