Happy Valentines Day.
Or, as Vix puts it: Happy Singles Awareness Day....so what's everyone doing today, on the yearly Hallmark greeting card festival holiday bonanzy? Cards? Flowers? Chocolates? Anything else interesting? Spending the day in bed, or watching movies with a partner?
Or are you plotting ways to make others miserable, because they're happy?
Meh, for myself, I'm fairly sure my partner isn't even aware there *is* a holiday going on...nothing new there...so I'm doing homework. The joy, the rapture, right?
But for everything else, if you're in a relationship, I hope you're having a good day with your significant other, and if you're single, I hope you're having a good time doing whatever it is that you want to be doing.
Happy Valentines Day.

how to get to sleep
GOING TO BED EARLY EVERYDAY IS IMPORTANT
Do you always stay up late watching that late night show? Do you always find yourself distracted by different activities all night? Always end up staying up late again because you want to watch that show for another 30 minutes? In this page, I am going to tell you many great tips on how to go to sleep earlier.
SET A TIME THAT YOU WANT TO GO TO BED FIRST
Feel tired at work and fell asleep because you always stay up so late at night watching a TV show or playing a computer game? First, ask yourself what time do you want to go to bed.
STOP THE ACTIVITIES THAT WILL DISTRACT YOU TO STAY UP LATE AT NIGHT
The most important tip for going to bed early is to close off activities that will distract you into staying up late. Be precise and strict about your bed time and stop the distracting activities one hour before bed time. It can be television shows, video games, you name it.
RELAX YOURSELF
Relax yourself by going out and taking a walk around the neighborhood every evening. This will make you feel sleepy at night. If your goal is to go to bed at 1:00 AM every night, then during the whole length of your walking session just keep on repeating to yourself, "I am in control of my own life. I refuse to let temptations take control of my life." Then you say, "I am the one that in control of what time I go to bed. I refuse to let temptations take control of what time I go to bed. I am going to wind down my day early and finish up everything that takes time at 12:00 A.M. daily, so I can go to bed early ." Then you say, "I will prepare to close off the the activity that will distract me at at 12:00 AM everyday." After that, you can say, "I can go to bed at 1:00 AM everyday." keep on repeating these sentences. Then you should feel more motivated to head to bed at 1:00 AM everyday.
DO NOT PROCRASTINATE
Starting this moment don't procrastinate anymore. Set a timer for when you want to shut off the distracting activities at night. When the watch timer beeps, then no more 30 minutes of TV or computer etc... When the watch timer beeps take it seriously and stop whatever you are doing. It doesn't matter how tempting it is, just shut off any activities that will distract you from going to bed early at night. This is very important because it is your answer to getting to bed early.
JUST DO IT
First, you need to set the watch timer to remind yourself to go to bed. If you plan to go to bed at 12:00 A.M. then you need to set the timer to go off at 11:00 P.M. Once the watch timer beeps then shut down all the distracting activities and just go wind down your day. Do a wind down ritual daily so that you know it is bed time when you do it. It is also important to set the alarm clock to wake up at the same time daily. Set a goal time to wake up and still have 7 - 8 hours of sleep daily. This will get you into a good and healthy daily life cycle. Apply the "just do it" slogan from the Nike commercial. When the watch timer beeps just go wind down your day. It is hard for many people to go to bed on time. This is why "just do it" is important.
FINISH YOUR DAY EARLY SO YOU CAN GO TO BED EARLY
Finish the important things that might take a lot of time early so that you can wind down earlier. Don't procrastinate the important things or else you will end up going to bed late again. Also, finish washing your body and brushing your teeth as early as possible. This way, you can go to bed right away when you want to.
IF YOU CAN'T IMPROVE FAST THEN TAKE IT SLOW
If it's hard for you to suddenly go to bed one hour earlier then just take it slow. Apply the gradual improve method. To do so, go to bed 30 minutes earlier for let's say 3 days consecutively. After you successfully achieve it, then move another 30 minutes earlier until you reach the goal.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
Apply the believing method. When you believe, you can later transform to knowing that it is easy to go to bed early. It is hard at first, but the more you believe in yourself the more this method is going to work. You will actually convince yourself that going to bed early is a simple. Then it will feel much easier to actually apply the tips on how to go to bed early. Eventually, you will be able to go to bed early everyday.
YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU WANT TO DO IT
You know it better than anyone else, that only you can tell yourself to go to bed early. If you want to do it then you can do it. Actually, it's pretty much all in your mind. It's either the distractions take control of you or you take control of your life. It is about you taking action and just going to bed early. Prepare to close off any activity that will distract you at 11 P.M. Only you are able to do it. Starting now, take control of your own life, and turn off that computer when it's 11 P.M., then success shall come to you. You have to be the one that takes charge of your own life. Don't let temptations get the best of you. Ask yourself, do you want to take charge of your life, or do you want the temptations take control of you? The answer is obvious isn't it? If you are able to overcome the temptations, then you will achieve going to bed early everyday. You can do it if you start to take charge of your life. Defeat the distractions at night, and start to take control of your own life now.
REWARD YOURSELF
Once you are doing great and are able to go to bed early whenever you want, then go ahead and reward yourself for the hard work you put in. Go buy your favorite movies, or drinks, or something you love.
IN CONCLUSION
Many people find going to bed early is difficult because of so many distractions like late night TV shows, addicting video games, and internet surfing. When people stay up late the main reason is because they can't resist the temptations for that another 30 minutes. It is important that you resist this temptation. Also, don't procrastinate and get the important things done first. It is essential that you start winding down your day and finish up all your rituals early so that you can go to bed early. Believing that you can go to bed early, and by taking charge of your own life will later lead you to knowing that it was easy to accomplish, and then you will realize that going to bed early isn't that hard after all.

When it rains, it pours, right?
My head is throbbing, so if this isn't as coherent as it might otherwise be, then I do apologize my dear readers, in advance. Right now, my Xbox is currently broken, although as it turns out, it actually is still under warranty (for which I am incredibly grateful since I don't have any available funds with which I would have been able to fix it), so as soon as I figure out a box and padding, I'll be using the pre-paid label to ship it off to be fixed. My television lamp appears to also be going out, and replacing one of those is a couple/three hundred dollars as well, and I don't actually know how to install one of them, although I'm *hoping* it's not overly complicated, providing of course that I can figure out how to get the money to replace it at all if/when it goes out.
Things like this is what caused the 'if it rains, it pours' title of this post. Trying to keep things together around here is kind of like plugging up a series of leaks, and every time I manage to get one fixed, another one seems to spring up somewhere else.
And I'm growing more and more tired, trying to keep all the balls in the air. I honestly am unsure if I can afford to for very much longer, before I simply give up. I realize that giving up isn't really an option, but that's how I feel right now.
I dropped a class at school, because I wouldn't have been able to actually manage the work load, and I wouldn't have been able to do the observation hours that was required, in an on campus/daycare setting. There is too much exposure to germs and whatnot to make that practical, and I was under the impression I was going to be able to get the observational hours with children/teens I knew, through homeschooled children or babies not in a daycare setting, and I found out after the class started that the teacher wasn't willing to allow that, and so I had to drop the course.
The other classes are going well, and I enjoy my philosophy class, even though it makes my head spins sometimes, because I have a bit of trouble with the there-and-back-and-forth concepts that philosophy involves.
Abnormal Psychology is, predictably, a blast, the actual reading and work to understand it involved.
And the other class is my English Lit class, which is based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, and studying the books themselves is also a lot of fun. A teacher who has studied this so in-depth is really interesting.
My doctors are playing musical medications with me as guinea-pig again, which is making my head ache, and my body pretty much hate me, but that's not really anything new, so I won't bother to detail any of that out, aside from noting that I have to go in for an EEG sometime this month. The joy, the rapture, the adventure.
And now, I'm going to go and read for a while, since obviously I won't be watching a lot of movies or television for a while, during the 'attempting to get things funded and fixed' on my electronics front.
Bye, internets.
