Lacking sleep but still ticking.

In the last 4 and1/2 weeks I have been working full time and going to school. I'm running on 4 hours of sleep a night, well actually a morning. I found a job which is good and bad for me. You know the obvious reasons why.... I get no sleep, I don't see anybody but my coworkers and classmates, I have been dubbed the sleeping giant(I'll tell you later) and last but not least I don't see my BF as often as I would like too.

I quit my job in February because it was going no where. I enrolled in school full time in order to do something that I enjoy. Since then I have been living on my savings, which about a month ago started running low . I had to get a job, there was no way around it. I applied to several places, went on many interviews and no luck. Finally, I applied at a medical lab and got the job.

When I started the lab job I thought I can stay there a year, save some cash, have the company pay for some courses, I can do this. I found out quick that it isn't that easy working 2nd/3rd shift and getting to class at 9am.

I'm trying my best to keep up with this and have always said if school begind to suffer I will quit my job. So with that in mind I'm saving $ $ and thinking about my future. I never never want to work 2/3rd shift hours again in my life. I will try my best to hold on till January, then I'm off.

(My niece has dubbed me the sleeping giant because on Tuesdays I have class in the afternoon and she tells everyone "Dont wake the sleeping giant" I guess I have snapped once, ok twice on people who have not allowed me to sleep till 2pm on that day. People walk around the house TOO LOUDLY for this sleeping giant)
