And, yeah, I do feel like killing my roommate. Why do you ask?

I overslept AGAIN today. This is happening with disturbing frequency this year.

I blame the fact that i'm in the sleeping dorm. When it was just two people in the room, I set my alarm on the desk across the room. That way, when it went off, I would jump off my loft, my sleepy brain thinking "What is that noise?! Find it!". Yes, I was somehow surprised and baffled by my alarm every fricking day last year. I would jump out of bed before I even knew I was doing it. It was a very effective way of getting my lazy ass out of bed.

Now, it's less "find the noise!" as it is "make the noise stop as quickly as possible!" because there are 29 other girls in the room as opposed to one. 29 girls who get very angry at hearing my alarm go off at 5:45 AM. So, my alarm is located under my pillow and since I usually sleep on my stomach with my arms up under the pillow, it's easy for my sleepy brain to go "Hey! It's making that noise! Make it stop, quick!" and I get the damn thing shut off before I even wake up.

It's bad. And I keep oversleeping. And I HATE doing that.

I need to find a way of getting my brain back into "Get up and find the noise" mode and out of "just make the noise stop without moving" mode. Tomorrow I am getting up the instant my alarm goes off. No more idiotic waking up at 7:15 going "Shit, I overslept again. good thing showering is optional".

Idiot. Because I oversleep and because I really should be writing the response paper that's due at 3:30 today. Or studying for the exam I have at 3:30 today. Or printing out the six page essay I have due at 3:30 today.

My methods class sucks. Loud.
