It's a song from Gravitation.

Also, I have become a bit of an insomniac. I can't fall asleep at night and when I do, I can't stay asleep. Not one night has gone by during my time at college that I have not woken up at some hour of the early morning. I think it usually happens somewhere between 4 and 6 AM, provided that I have already gone to bed during that time. Accompanying my sleeplessness, I have been the victim of frequent late-night headaches as well and my supply of Excedrin grows thin. Luckily, I haven't been able to remember most of my dreams when I wake from them. I have a nasty habit of always having bad dreams, no matter how happy I may be whilst conscious. So there is indeed a bright side.

Don't get me wrong, I am having a great time up here. I have agreeable roommates, a handful of close friends (mostly otaku), and plenty of things to do to keep me occupied. I'm feeling a little homesick this week, but I'm sure it'll get better soon. For some reason, I especially miss my high school art teacher. He was sort of like a father to me, since mine sucks. Anyway, I am hoping to have more work to post; mostly writing, since I am not in any visual arts classes this semester. :( All we've done in my writing class so far, though, is speak. I hate public speaking. :shakefist: Hopefully that will change soon.

In unrelated news: I saw the filmed final performance of RENT in theaters yesterday. It was amazing and I cried so much. :cry: I cry every time I watch the movie, but it was even more moving this time knowing that this was the end of it. You could see it affecting the actors. There was much more emotion in their faces and voices. Many of them cried as well. I want to talk about it with someone and I have to wait a few days before seeing my sister. Anyone else see it? Post your opinions!!

This has been a long journal entry. I needed somewhere to vent a little, since I can't bring myself to talk to any of my friends. I can't help but feeling like I'd just be bothering them. So thank you, to those who take the time to read this. Don't lose faith in me, I'll keep writing/drawing my whole life. :heart:

Sorry you're having such a tough time adjusting, it'll get better I promise. Though I have some advice for the insomnia: don't take excedrin before bed, or tea. The excedrin has caffeine to help ease headaches faster but can interfere with your ability to fall asleep and stay asleep.
:iconmikari-aoineko:
Yeah, I know about the caffeine content in Excedrin, but it's either I can't sleep because of that or I can't sleep because my head hurts too much. I am stuck in an endless cycle. :(
I appreciate your advice, thank you. :D
