Note To Self

1. You can tire yourself out!
I'm sorry I don't have the same capacity other teens do to function on an hour of sleep and still get awesome grades. Does my depression effect that? I'm sure it does, but I've also been raised to go to bed at a semi-regular time every night, and to get a good amount of sleep so as to function at my full capability. I'm still only getting around 8 hours a night (recommended for teen = 9.75 hours), and I'm totally exhausted. How do other teenagers do it?

I mean, I guess I have a severe case in some ways. No study halls, No lunch on a school day, three-ish hours of homework a night, and violin stuff too... but you'd think the time I get off would be able to replenish my body and mind. And I sense myself getting worse by the day.
I also don't really know what fun is for a normal teenager. Fun for me, I've finally figured out, is having witty conversations about philosophy, history, music, and other arts. I like intelligence- it allows me to make better jokes. My mother and peers to perversion as I am to intelligent humor. But everyone I talk to these days doesn't much indulge in a quote like,
"The components and theory behind a diminished scale is like a Transcendental revelation!"

Oh well.
