Red Bull, Sleep Deprivation and Crabs

This week I start midnight school. School starts at 2330 and gets over when we are done, up to 07. This will be my first 'working' nights experience. We thought that if we were to start staying up all night and sleeping during the day it would be a little easier once we were back in class.. so far its not true.

Red bull has been a staple since arriving in the lovely VA beach. Drinking caffeine at midnight is an odd feeling but its gotta get done. I'm so used to being up with the sun. But it does do a number on my nerves. I been a bit jittery as of late.

Last night two of my classmates and i were trying to fight the urge to sleep so we decided to walk to the beach. We have a private part of the beach just for military. Its freakin fantastic. We were already getting sleepy high, you know that you are soo tired everything is funny.We get down to the soft sand and it's completely dark. Hearing those waves crash and hit and seeing the dark starry sky just makes me happy. Out of nowhere my buddy says that he thought he saw a crab so he busts out his phone and we are completely surrounded by crabs.. soo many crabs from little babies to big old grumpy grandpas. They freaked me out soo bad. It was out of a horror flick. Our eyes starting playing tricks. With so many little crabs, crabites if you will, it seemed like the ground was moving. I thought we were going to step on them or that the big crabs would group together and pinch off my toes.

Thank goodness for sidewalks and street lights.
