I guess there really is a first time for everything!!
Ok So today started what like the 4th week of school and it feels like the 24th. Anyways, I overslept this morning for the first time EVER in my life. Now for any regular student this may seem okay and may even be like oh well it happens; but for me not so much. I nearly had a nervous breakdown. For those of you who do not know, I am a perfectionist at EVERYTHING I do. I mean since I started school at WEstern 3 years ago I have only missed class one day and that was because I was so sick I could barely move on my own and my roomate had to skip class to take me to the doctor. I just don't see the point in doing something only halfheartedly, if thats the case why do it at all? So needless to say when I realized I had overslept I sent my professor an email long enough to be an essay explaining the situaion at hand and how truely sorry I was. That, however, did not make me feel better even after she emailed me back saying she understood and that we can't be perfect all the time. Needless to say this is going to be on my mind for awhile. So I hope this isn't a sign as to how the rest of my week is going to go because if it is I should quit now.

I over slept for the first time recently as well. I actually woke up, turned off my alarm on my phone, then went back to sleep. I ususally do wake up then lay in bed for a few minutes, but I have never fallen back to sleep! I was late to work, but thankfully only by a few minutes. I hope that your week was better, surely this good weather made it seem so!
