I can't think of a title. Deal with it.

Today I [mostly] finished my Sony Star portfolio. I'm not happy with the cover picture and border, though. With my sophomore portfolio, it just felt right. And that sounds corny and sappy, but it's true. When I looked at it, I knew that it was done. This one feels all wrong.

I don't have to turn it in until Thursday, when I leave for festival, so I'll probably be fretting about it for the next couple of days. I've put so much work into it. It needs to feel right.

In other news, I think I have restless leg syndrome.

Last night, I got into bed around midnight, and then could not fall asleep for another hour. It wasn't because my sleep schedule was still on weekend mode. The upper half of my body was tired and ready to fall asleep. My legs, on the other hand, seemed as though they could spring to life at any moment and perform a tap dance. This isn't an odd sensation for me. It happens often. Usually I just shake my legs, hoping to tire them out. I'll kick them like I'm swimming in an ocean of blankets, but the relief it brings is usually only temporary. I just have to wait it out, drifting off to sleep very, very slowly.

My mom has it, I think, so I wouldn't be surprised if I do too. It's probably because I don't really do much moving during the day. The most I walk is around school. I really miss wandering through these suburban streets at night. I would have tonight if my life wasn't so crazy. Another thing that can exacerbate RLS is stress, so says the all-knowing website. And I guess I am stressed, but this is a feeling I know all too well. There's no relief until June.

I need sleep.
