"My schedule was so packed today, I thought I was going to drop from exhaustion. I worked almost 14 hours, and now that I'm trying to sleep, I'm so worn out that I just can't. I have a full schedule again tomorrow, so I really need to get some rest. The problem is, even though I'm physically exhausted, my mind is still wide awake. I was planning on writing some blogs early tomorrow morning, but at this rate, I don't think I'll wake up on time."

 

“오늘 스케쥴이 너무 빡빡해서 죽는 줄 알았어. 거의 14시간을 일했는데, 자려고 누우니까 너무 피곤해서 오히려 잠이 안 와. 내일도 일정이 꽉 차 있어서 어서 자지 않으면 안되는데. 하나도 안 졸리고 정신이 멀쩡해서 문제야. 내일 아침 일찍 일어나서 블로그 글 몇개 쓰려고 했는데, 이런 상태라면 제 시간에 일어나지도 못 하겠어.”
