*Interseting article on the bottom (you could just go to yahoo)

Sorry I haven't been on in like days!
It's hectic trying to do the whole HW thing that school gives you. Plus i'm just so lazy and more interested in watching Gundam Wing episodes on DVD that I got from my friend as a late B-Day present! YAY! XD

Anyway it's going well for me exept I found out i'm going to have to exams in about 2 weeks from now! 1 for chem. and the other for math.
GRRR! >.<

Other than that i've been meeting some old friends and trying to hook up with them so as to keep a social life! :P

I can't wait until September b/c not only will it be cooler i'm also hoping we will have some more rain before fall comes.

Well that's it! ^^ heh. Have a good day.
I hope to drop by and comment on some sites later. If I don't get to you...don't worry...I will eventually.... @.@

Article from Yahoo: Junk Sleep

I think we all know the kind of sleep you get when you decide to go to bed with a TV blaring. It's not good. But I like the name The Sleep Council in Britain gives to the kind of sleep teens get when they go to sleep watching TV, listening to music, or using other electronic gadgets: "junk sleep."

A poll of 1,000 kids, ages 12 to 16, found that 30 percent go on four to seven hours of sleep a night, far from the recommended eight or nine or more that teens often get when they can. As Reuters reports, nearly all of the teenagers surveyed had a phone, music system, or TV in their bedroom and two-thirds of them had all three. What, no PC, too? A 2005 Pew Internet & American Life project study found that 26 percent of U.S. teens spent time online in their bedrooms, and that's two years ago.

As Helene Emsellem, a sleep physician, told the NPR's Allison Aubrey, "As we have more and more ways to stay connected at night, we've seen an exaggeration of the night-owlism in teenagers." Research shows that teens' internal clocks shift toward much later sleep times, and tech that keeps teens engaged and not relaxed doesn't help—especially when they have to get up early for school.

What do you think? Me: Wow and yet so true.
