Quick Reflections

My week has been one of the busiest I've had since my undergraduate years. It shouldn't be a sup rise at how exhausted I am. It amazes me that I'm this tired, mostly because during my college years I was FAR more busy than I am now; my midnight oil was virtually non existent I burnt it so much.

So what is the difference between then and now? Between the Spring on 2006 and 2010. Well for one, I am four years older, I guess age is a factor. I'm not going t drone on that 26 is old. Far from. However, I am older and I guess, as a result, a little more tired.

Also, I am working- full time, at a job that isn't physically, but mentally demanding. Though I don't do anything truly exhausting at work, perhaps just being here adds to the tiredness factor.

Lastly, I'm taking classes. Granted only twice a week, in the South Side. I don't get home till between 11 and midnight, and with a 5am wake up call that isn't a ton of sleep. Then again, I worked till midnight and got up for 8am classes the next day. Maybe the travel factor plays a rule? Or my body simply needs to adjust to the new schedule. Only time will answer these inquires.

This week, for the world, has been interesting in the events that have taken place. There is still the ongoing suffering in Haiti- a tragedy that will have no quick solution. In the world of entertainment there was an outpouring of anger at NBC's decision to move the Jay Leno show back to it's old Tonight Show spot- a spot where Conan O'Brien did an excellent job hosting the show himself. The result has been Conan's move to Fox's evening line up. While I am not a fan of Fox- for political reasons, mostly- I must admit, it is great that Conan will be able to keep an evening show rather than being stuck in a secondary spot.
