12/12/12

I did a televised event called Christmas in Washington this weekend. We’ve been practicing for it the past 2 weeks and i still have not been able to catch up with my sleep. This morning, I strayed from my plan and stayed asleep till 6:30 instead of waking up at 6:12. So far, I have failed my plan everyday this week. I still have to rush to shower, do my hair, choose out and put on my clothes, and leave the house.  I more than love the extra sleep but in the end, it has more of a negative impact than a positive one. The only good thing I have done while trying to overcome this rut, is waking up at 6:30 instead of 6:45. I thought giving up this rut would be a whole lot easier for some reason, but it is the total opposite. I know i adore my sleep, but i still thought I would be able wake up after the first snoozing of my alarm. Doing Christmas in Washington is probably the main reason why my plan has not been working since its so draining. Going to school all day, rehearsing intensely for hours after, and coming to home to homework after has been a lot to deal with and I need enough sleep as I can get. Who ever thought singing could be so tiring?! If i were able to fulfill my plan, my mom would be very pleased with me because she always tries to wake me up early, but i always whine a little so i can sleep more. I would love to take my time to get ready in the morning because “for every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness,” and If i could put my plan into a successful practice  i will be a lot happier in the morning (Emerson).
