I’ve started setting my cellphone alarm instead of a regular alarm, and putting it on my pillow. It works better for me because it’s much harder to set it on “snooze”, so I’m more or less forced out of bed. But once I’m up and out of bed, I’m up for good and I’m not any more or less tired.

It’s HARD to get a job when you’re only 14 (almost 15). Very few places by me will hire before 16. I did, however, apply at an ice cream place and hopefullyyy I’ll get hired. I really need a summer job, because my family doesn’t have a lot of money at all and I need to be more self-sufficient.

I’ve stopped taking naps, I’ve been keeping busy with other activities and I’ve been TRYING to get a more restful nights’ sleep; I’ve usually got so much schoolwork to do or I end up preoccupied that I don’t fall asleep until about 12, and I wake up at 5am every day for school. It hasn’t been too bad though, and I try to catch up on the weekends.. Mostly it’s refreshing to not have to rely on an afternoon nap, and to be able to get things done.
