I’m late, I’m late, I’m terribly late

It appears to be the main thing that happens to me lately—being late to lectures.  Not somewhat late, either; I am talking about twenty-minutes-past-time, you-missed-half-a-lecture late.  I promise you that I am not doing it on purpose.  It just happens after an excuse here and situation there. 

Somehow it feel eerily like the times when I began losing interest in classes, subjects, and school in general.  Not only was it not pretty, it was a precursor to what I have since become, confused, older, directionless guy, back to home from school dorm and unable to escape without facing the certain circumstances (especially in this uncertain economy, where I can lose a job any day…)  I feel that I am stuck in this life; I am not complaining, not too loudly yet anyway.  You look around and see people suffering and you look at them and… is it the wiseness coming with the age when I say “I have been through worse.”?

I am wondering where things are going wrong.  It could very well be the part-time job that I am doing, but I do not think that is very taxing physically; in fact, my head feels generally clearer by the time I am done.  I do, however, require naps by the time I am done with class and before going to work—that explains very well how I get to work so late so often.  It cannot be helped; I just require a lot of sleep.  There must be ways to keep me awake while simultaneously separate me from my tendency to sleep whenever I can.

It looks deceptively simple, my problem of being late—I need to sleep, I feel sluggish, and I just want to do thing just-in-time.  My tendencies explain a lot about the consequences that it entails…

Tell you what.  I will wake up early tomorrow and be in class on time.  It has not happened in that 8 o’clock class before.  I will make it happen, dammit.
