Oops

I set my alarm for five this morning, and couldn't get myself moving until now because of one thing: I needed to work on my papers, but I couldn't work out how to cite a personal website. Because somehow Dekker and Middleton were on the internets, and writing about what I needed to know. Also, there was some website about my super powers that I couldn't get to, so I kept feeling like getting up and doing actual work was completely useless. Nothing quite like being just awake enough to know you're awake and need to be doing work, but completely unable to tell what that actually entails.

And now I'm awake and I've got another two hours to get this paper in order. Here's hoping.

I'm in that "awake enough to know but not awake enough to know what" state pretty consistently.

Tsk tsk. I didn't used to only wake up halfway like this, but that was back when I used my alarm clock to wake up, and that always made me bolt upright in an extreme sense of panic because it sounded like a fire alarm (in fact, when the fire alarm went off, I always had a tendency to smash my alarm clock... So I eventually ended up hating it so much that I'd go back to sleep to spite it, so now I use my cell phone which obviously doesn't wake me up enough to be fully conscious. Such a delicate balance.)
