I go through my day in a fog.  Each time (every semester) I do this exhaustion trick, it gets worse.  I remember when it was just an initial shock as to WHY the hell am I so tired? And now, now it’s like I don’t care why I’m tired, I *know* why… now it’s more of a let’s see how far I can push it before I break…

My brain hurts.  In general.  I don’t have time for my homework.  Or to paint my toenails.

I know.  I know.

My eyes hurt.  Something’s gotta give.  But what?

The fog blows into my ear but won’t leave.   I can’t focus on reading.  I don’t have the motivation to log into my online class to discuss.  I’m not depressed, I’m tired.

The skin beneath my eyes is dripping a steady rip rip rip away from my cheeks.  My face looks sunken in to me.  I’m having hallucinations.

Someone grabbed my shoulder today.  It surprised me, and I turned to find no one.
