I'm studying for Biology. This is not a book review or a sentimental post, this is merely me stating what I have discovered in the past few months.
Sleep. What is that again? Oh yeah, it's a rest period for the human body. A state of tranquility for most. An escape from what's real to the realm of imagination called dream land. Yes, that. I vaguely remember a time when I actually got a sufficient amount of that thing we call sleep.
So I have a quiz tomorrow. A vocabulary quiz. Such a simple thing that I have had so many times before, with grades ranging from a fifteen to a ninety-five, but never a hundred. I am not a hundred/A+ student. In my school, 98% of the population is made up of kid geniuses/A+ students. The other 2% are regular teenagers, perhaps slightly smarter than average. I am of that two percent. I am sad to say that when the teacher mentions the range of grades on a test, I am at or around the lowest grade. I wish for the circumstances to be different, but that's just the way it is.
What am I trying to say? For the 2% of us that are not geniuses, getting A's and sleep is utterly impossible. I do all of my work, study myself to the point of madness, and it's still not enough. So I've taken sleep out of the equation. And, guess what? Poof, no D's, no F's. Only a middle-ranging C (Not even a low C!), and a low B. The rest are B pluses and higher. Isn't that uncanny? If I keep this up, I'll have straight A's by June!
Seeing as it is now 4 AM and my alarm will be going off soon, I will not even make an attempt to sleep. In the morning I will simply splash my face with ice cold water and load up on coffee and be on my way. Ah, success at its best.
Signed,
Victoria.
