mousmeGo me.
It's 3am, do you know where your children are?
Luckily, I have no children so I don't have to get up and rush to their beds to see if they're sleeping soundly where they're supposed to be.
On the other hand, I'm not sleeping soundly where I'm supposed to be either. I think it's the two cups of coffee I had during the game. I'm no longer a regular coffee drinker (read: I have coffee maybe twice a week max), so it's reasonable to assume it must be affecting me much more strongly than when I was having two to five cups a day of the stuff.
Then again, the last time I had insomnia about ten days ago (actually it might be more like a week, I'll have to check my LJ entries) I hadn't had any coffee or anything with caffeine at all and certainly no other stimulants that I can think of.
I'm also a little stressed because I'm thinking of making so many drastic changes at once in my life, including letting go of the relative stability that $15.47 an hour gets one, even if it is a crappy, ultra-stressful and ultimately thankless job. It pays the bills, pays the rent, feeds me and the FFEs and pays for my car.
Then again, I calculated more or less what it costs me to live per month, and I think that I could probably swing it working full-time at Chapters (i.e. 35 hours a week or more). It's the number of hours I work at Bell Mobility, and *that* job gives me a ton of leeway to do fun stuff.
Sure, money'd be tight, but I'm willing to sacrifice a lot of leisure activities in order to have a less stressful job.
It also wouldn't be permanent, as I'm planning on going back to university sooner rather than later. I don't really want to go back to McGill, as I have too many bad associations with that place, but it and UQAM are the only two of the four universities that currently offer programs in the area I want to study. I'm seriously considering UQAM (I'd have the benefit of lower fees because my father teaches there, and it's not McGill), but McGill has the advantage of offering a two-year program for people who already have a Bachelor degree, while UQAM doesn't appear to offer anything other than a full three-year program regardless of previous studies.
I don't want to spend three years at university again. Really I don't. On the other hand, maybe this time around I'll actually be able to enjoy myself more as I won't be quite as focussed on my grades as I was before. This time around I'm studying for a goal other than gaining access to another institution of higher learning, not to mention that I'll be learning for the sake of learning rather than for some remote ambition of getting my parents' ever-elusive stamp of approval.
Hooray for 3am ramblings.
I think I'll go type up my CV.
