Hart Surgery: Insomnia

My roommate Will and I are competitive in everything we do. From golf to scrabble, from bowling to poker, you name it we are out to take each other down. I mention this because recently we have been trying to one-up one another in Text Twist, a game easily found on the internet that requires you to scramble six letters [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

My room is freezing. I moved into a new house over the summer, and the room I chose to live in is apparently an antisocial son of a gun. It just haaaaaas to be different. So if it's hot in the rest of the house, rest assured it will be cold in my room. And if the house is cold, [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

I have a cold. I know, I know, I should take vitamin C to help it (or euthanasia or whatever it's called), but I just don't believe in medicine for a cold. If I have the flu or something sure, but for a cold, I say grin and bear it and wait out the four or five days it will [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

For those that didn't see it when it first ran on HBO, the mini-series Band of Brothers is about the finest piece of filmmaking these eyes have ever seen. It is an eye-opening and incredibly realistic (I imagine) account of what it was like training for and participating in WWII, and every time I see it I appreciate my grandparents' generation more and more. Why [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

I have no will power. It is bad enough I have trouble sleeping, but the fact I cannot keep myself from watching late night television is no help either. If I didn't have a TV in my room, I might sleep an average of an hour or two more per night. Every night I find myself glued to the only [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

I have spent the last three years living in the Northeast, and in all that time I never lived in a place where I could control both my heat and air. In Boston and Syracuse, that meant no A/C. In Bethlehem, it meant AC but no control over the heating. Now I have moved back to the Dirty South, and despite having central [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

Can anyone explain why a dorm would still have the heat on at night when the calendar has nearly turned to May? I can't either, but it certainly makes for some sleepless nights. I often wrestle with this question - is it better to be cold or hot? I can never decide, but I do know this: it is better to be too [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

I'm not sure what is keeping me up so much lately. Maybe I am restless because my time at Lehigh is beginning to wind down and like many of my peers I am confused about which path the rest of my life will follow. Or maybe it is because I can't figure out how Darvin Ham and Andrew DeClerq are [read more...]

Hart Surgery: Insomnia

It's not fair. I cannot sleep. All day long I yawn, stretch, and grumble to myself about how exhausted I am. Then, like clockwork, eleven o'clock rolls around and wouldn't you know I'm wide awake. I can't explain why it happens, I just know it does. But, while I'm laying in bed, tossing and turning, a lot does seem to go through [read more...]
