So during that run, it was very light when I went out. Besides the clear sky, there was this one cloud that was unlike any I've ever seen. At first glance, I thought it was a huge tornado beginning to form, except it was very white. It wasn't shaped like the normal puffy oval-ish cloud, though, because it was more like a clear-cut vertical wall, a totally unsloped and massive cliff. And the sunlight peaked through, making a strange 3-sectioned gradient. I went on doing the loop, and what started as one or two thunders soon became a more incessant rumbling. As I ran, the clouds changed rapidly and spread across the sky. I was eager to run fast to get back home before I got zapped or something. Got home safely, but woah, that was a crazy cloud.

Oh dear me, I left work sooo tired today, kind of sickness-coming-on feeling. Just wanted to sleep. I think when I'm tired, I take that feeling as a "I'm just in need of food to give me energy" signal, when I think it should be a "I need sleep" signal. But I'm so used to foregoing sleep and doing what's necessary food-wise to keep me up and working because of schoolwork. And it's not all just sleep I need because after exercising, or after staying awake for a while, I'm back to normal. I do think that I need like >6.5 hrs of sleep to stay awake, though, whether it's for school or work, probably even more if it's at school, since I'm so much more active there, having to walk around campus rather than sitting on my butt at work.
