I need caffeinated eye drops...

I couldn't sleep last night. For lots of reasons:
1. the air conditioning units outside my window echo off the buildings and, to me, it sounds like a jet engine trying to take off all night. So I wear earplugs sometimes, which are uncomfortable.
2. I had to get up early today to register (already!) for the next quarter.
3. I have a second job interview with a restaurant catering service today.
4. I'm worried about my living arrangements. My friends that I live with are looking to rent a house, and so far have only run into brick walls. What will happen to me if they don't find a place?
5. I'm still waiting for my "retirement" check from my last job so I can pay off my credit card.

And a couple of other personal things. But, while waiting for my advisor to answer me about registration, I was on my scholarship sites and found one for people who blog! Wow! I happen to blog, so I clicked on that for more info. The main requirement is that the blog must contain "unique and interesting information about you and/ or things you are passionate about."

In my opinion, blogging about going to school when you're forty is unique-ish, seeing how I've never been before (high-school doesn't count, I mean, really?).  I know my life isn't interesting, but I'm a writer, I think I can pick out a few things and "expand" on them to make it sound interesting?

While I was looking at past winners for this scholarship, I found this 50 things written by an MIT guy. It's a pretty good list of things to expect in college - not the academic side, the fun side.
All the points are great, and I've already experienced them all since I'm twice the age of an average college student. But, I do especially like a few of them:

#49- time passes quickly.
        I know! Every time a friend of mine would pop out a kid, then their first or second birthday would be spread all over Facebook, I'd think "WTF, man? What have I been doing? Not a damn thing!"

#19- about co-ed bathrooms.
        I've never experienced co-ed bathrooms, but I did grow up with one bathroom in the house. I can only imagine that the first time someone drops a stink bomb in the toilet,  or someone sees that when girls shave, it's really not that sexy after all - the magic is gone.

#47- tattoos are permanent.
        Obviously, I know this. Some ditzies don't though, so there's the cute blonde getting "Spring Break 2012 bitches" tattooed on the small of her back in large scroll letters, and it's there FOREVER.
None of her other cute blonde friends have the brains to step up and say "Uh, Amber (or Tiffany or Brittany or whatever you name cute blonde girls) I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe a cute butterfly instead?"

#36- about how hot you look right now.
         Well, yes, when I was at the "college" age of 20, I was cuter than I am now because my skin didn't sag, I had natural muscle tone, I could tan and not worry about skin cancer, could eat burgers and chips and not worry about being bloated and then drink all night and still get up to go to work the next day and not skip a beat. At 40, not so much.

and #3- songs make you remember moments. This is why I listen to my all 80's and 90's stations on my Sirius radio! Every time Alanis Morissette sing "You otta know" I remember breaking up with my boyfriend. A lost song by Haddaway called "What is love" takes me back to the clubs along the beach in Florida where I was first stationed in the Air Force.  Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" makes me remember the time I spent at house parties in Kissimmee, Florida when I was 18. Any song by Shania Twain reminds me of when my friend April and I snuck into the concert and was escorted out, only to score free tickets by some random guy walking around 2 minutes later.
So many songs!
Do you have any that stand out? What are they?
