It's nearly impossible to live a normal life when you suffer from narcolepsy. This sleeping disorder prevents victims from having a restful night's sleep, and causes random urges to fall asleep at any point in time.

I have always prided myself on being weird. In middle school, many people would comment, “You’re so strange!”

“Weird,” I would reply. “Call me weird, not strange.”

It’s been a long time since that white stuff fell from the sky around here, hasn’t it? For those who’ve forgotten what the white stuff is, it’s called snow, and I’m looking forward to a lot more of it the next two months or so.

Lately, I’ve become distracted more easily than usual when I’m trying to work. If I’m typing a paper, it’s convenient to check my e-mail. Then, I might happen to have a notification from Facebook, so I check it out. Of course, this leads to looking at photos for an hour, until I remember that I have a lot of work to do.
