Jake Gyllenhaal is so gorgeous, I would see anything he stars in. I have very fond memories with Prince of Persia; it was one of those games I played obsessively when I was younger. I’m excited to see the live-action adaptation, even though Jake’s accent sounds absolutely atrocious in the trailers I’ve seen. I can’t help but get secondhand embarrassment every time. He’s really lucky his beauty and abs are enough to distract the viewers! Such a stud.

There’s another school further up the hill, not too far from the one I go to. In fact, they are actually our biggest (and only “worthy”?) rival out of the whole district. I generally don’t hear many great things about them, whether they’re biased opinions or not. A friend of mine is dating a boy from that school, and I was pretty shocked to hear when she proceeded to tell me about the racial segregation and prejudice that goes on up there. I mean, I knew they weren’t the friendliest, most welcoming crowd, but.. still. It still blows me away when I hear of terrifying news like that, especially since it’s so close to me. It’s just completely depressing knowing that things like that are still going on. I felt humbled, knowing that even though I abhor my school and the people in it half of the time, we are still more of a family than that other school is and will probably be. Although, I really just pray that one day, they’ll find that up there too. That’s a wish that goes out for the rest of the world. It’s a tough one to accomplish, but it’s certainly not impossible. Why can’t we be friends??

I took the nap and slept the afternoon away. I woke up at around 6, but then fell asleep (of course), though finally got up at around 8. Well, it was more like turning on the television and remaining in bed.. But still. I think having to open my eyes for hours at a time in the day is work enough. I mean, right? I never got to studying. I should have known, but I like to think that I can be dedicated sometimes. Guess today just wasn’t made for that! For some reason I like to think that I’m invincible, even though I’m well aware of the fact that I really am, on the contrary, the exact opposite of just that. I stay up at nights, convinced I’ll be fine the next morning when in the back of my mind, I know I’ll eventually crash, throwing off my entire week’s sleeping schedule. Like I even have one.

I am so darn sleepy. I’m trying to decide whether I should take an hour-long nap or to start studying for my finals, some of which actually begin tomorrow. I know I should start studying in order to better prepare myself for the hell to come, but I am just. so. cussing. sleepy. If I start studying now, it would be half-assed and applied to short-term memory. If I do take a nap, I would have the energy to study and my cranky mood would fly out the window.  However, I would have less time to study and lots of grogginess to deal with once I awaken. Gah, so conflicted. :( My mind says yes to studying, but my body says yes to sleep!
