Today has been one tiring day. I didn't sleep well last night, because my baby boy didn't sleep well either. I got out of bed late, left home late, and got into the classroom late. And the first lesson I have today was Ethics... Being late on the first day of Ethics class was not much help for morality.
The morning classes are easy enough for me to cope with; it's the classes in the afternoon that are really hard to sit through. My first afternoon class was Composition and Conversation class. Not a dull lesson, but it's the classroom setting that makes it difficult to stay awake. Usually sleepiness kicks in automatically after enjoying a great meal, and that makes it hard to stay awake for afternoon classes already, imagine having afternoon classes in an air-conned computer room filled with soft cushion seats.
I managed to make through that class awake, but the next class completely drained out my energy. Not that the class was boring, but since it was the beginning of the semester, teachers usually spend the first lesson chatting and laughing. And so with no real important material to pay attention to, I slacked down completely, and the sleepiness kicked in. It was OK to sleep in this class at that particular time, but the feeling of lack of energy was very dangerous for my tutoring business that followed later.
So now in order to fight off the pleasant, yet undesired sleepiness, I relocated myself to the nearby FamilyMart, and contented to be able to consult Mr. Brown, the tips of staying awake, and it seems to be working. Maybe writing my journal in public also contributes to keeping me awake, somehow. Still, with Mr. Brown by my side, I seem to have regained my consciousness and also my confidence for the tutoring classes. Thank you, Mr. Brown!
