insomnia attack

today, i originally plan to work from the computer room the whole day (as early as 8 am) so i can fully give my 100% attention, devotion, focus, time and what-have-you to chapters 5 and 6 of my thesis... without any distractions... in a study room ambiance... in the company of other poor unfortunate classmates who have to spend their spring break writing their thesis chapters while their friends have been happily taking 200+ photos at the world expo in nagoya, enjoying the city life of tokyo, traveling to culturally-rich kyoto, taking short trips to seoul, or on their way to new york. 2 hours ago, having resigned to my fate, i was busy preparing the stuffs i need to bring - books, photocopies, printouts, pens, some munchies and my laptop.

as an extra preparation for my trip to the computer room (too bad the library is closed the whole weekend), i went to bed early... and eagerly. i wanted to be well-rested so i'll wake up refreshed, oozing with brilliant ideas, and motivated enough to write my chapters. only to find out that insomnia would visit me tonight! oh no, not again. tonight, of all nights! how frustrating!!! 10, 20, 30 minutes have passed... and my eyes refused to close. 40, 50 minutes, and i was still wide awake. 60, 90 minutes and still i couldn't sleep at all. enough is enough. reluctantly conceding defeat, i dragged myself up to call my half-asleep 'ga, who suggested that we just postpone our trip (to the computer room, i mean). hmmm... not really a bad idea at all.

now my great plan is ruined. this means i'll just have to try so hard to work productively from my room later today. at least i have been given few more days to work on my paper. good thing i dared to ask for that 2-day extension. and at least i get to update this blog. i just hope that by the time i finish this, my visitor has already left so i can finally have my most awaited and precious sleep!
