All. I. Want. To. Do. Is. Sleep.

Two nights of insomnia and I am at the breaking point.  I've tried it all... avoided caffine, washed my sheets, a 1am McDonalds run, tried lying there thinking of nothing and still - can't sleep.  You know that scene in fight club where he says with insomnia nothing's really real, everything gets the volume turned down.  Well it's true.  I've kind of gone through life's motions for the last two days on autopilot.

Right now I'm reading 'Through painted deserts' by Donald Miller. It's pretty good.  Perhaps when I have slept more than a couple hours I'll write something insightful about it, but now is not the time.  Right now it's just about Don and his friend driving around in a van and there is nothing more I can think of.  

I'm not even sure I could recall what I did today.  This blog is so pointless.  But I would just like to make a note that you should all appreciate sleep while you have it cause once you can't, you will wish for nothing more.

Adios for now.

I should like, get smart or something.

This September I am going back to school. I am super excited to move to Ontario, live in dorms, and dive into a new social pool.  I am less excited, however, to be drowning in reading and essays, feel underequipped and be under constant stress.  So, about a month ago I made a reading list for myself.  15 books I have to read before I go back to school.  For someone with the reading compasity of Twilight, this is kind of an undertaking.  And no, there is no Nicolas Sparks on the list.  I pretty much looked up '100 books to read before you die' and picked the ones that didn't sound stupid or I hadn't already read.

So here's my list:

(1) Dubliners- James Joyce [which I am finished]

(2) Atlas shrugged- Ayn Rand [I think I can get a scholarship out of this one]

(3) Pride and Prejudice- Jane Austen

(4) Age of Innosence- Edith Wharton

(5) Searching for God knows what- Donald Miller

(6) Through Painted Deserts- Donald Miller [Currently reading...]

(7) Fight Club- Chuck Palanhniuk [Finished]

(8) On the Road- Jack Karuak

(9) Nineteen Eighty Four- George Orwell

(10) Catcher in the Rye- JD Salinger

(11) The time traveller's wife- Audrey Niffenegger

(12) Alice in Wonderland- Lewis Carroll

(13) Life of Pi- Yann Martel

(14) A Tale of Two Cities- Charles Dickens

(15) The Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold
