I've done too much, now I'm paying for it...

Well, I'm off school today, for the simple fact that I'm worn out after ten nights of very late bed times (ranging from midnight to 2.30am), and more days doing fun-packed things, like learning to drive (and nearly killing myself and my boyfriend in the process), running mad on beaches, falling out with emotionally-strung family members, and doing various other activities, which after a while take their toll on you when you're not having long enough rests in between. Now, because I'm so run down, I'm washed out beyond belief. It's taking all of my will power to sit upright in front of my laptop and write this.
What really clinched it though - the cherry on the cake kinda thing - was this past weekend. It was RC Emergency Response training, which although was awesome fun, albeit at times cold, was kinda taxing, and eventually drained the last of my energy. When I got home on Sunday, I had the beginnings of a nasty cold, which erupted yesterday into full blown penicillin-requiring tonsillitis.
So now here I sit, bored out of my mind, worried that I won't be fit enough for my two drama acting NABs on Thursday and Friday, gutted that I'm missing RC training tonight, and pondering whether I should go back to bed or not.
I'd write about the ER weekend in more detail, but to be honest I can't be totally arsed to do so at the moment, so that can wait for another time...if I remember.

And about the whole "let's attempt to kill me and my boyfriend whilst driving" thing, I saved us too, so it's a nice balanced situation ^-^
