Insomnia much?!

I can't recall the last time I went to bed before 2am on weekend much less on a school night. I seem to be unable to fall asleep before 2am, much less remain asleep for the whole night. So here I am in the library again at 2:02 am attempting to get some studying done, since if I was at home I'd be tossing and turning in my bed. I figure why not try to get some school work done if I can't sleep. However, this in itself is proving to be futile, as well. I feel so antsy and anxious. Perhaps its the near future that has been worried and stressed. I'm almost done with my first semester of senior year, then once I come back from break I have nearly 15 weeks before I walk across that stage. Or it might also be that I am concerned about my future. The future looks so bleak for us recent graduates. The work force seems to be dwindling right before my eyes. Every day it seems as if maybe finding a job abroad would prove to be more useful than one domestically. I should be studying for my Spanish exam but I can't seem to focus enough to do so. So now I am trying/writing my proposal for graduate school. I have decided to apply to the University of Maryland @ College Park. Upon reviewing their Graduate Studies website the Spanish Masters' program has captivated me. They have such amazing faculty!!!! Not to mention tuition is only about $10,000 a year for out of state tuition. So I feel like I have so much on my plate, not to mention I have to find a day to take my GREs. Even though I have plenty of time to complete all tasks at hand it feels impossible to finish everything at hand.
