64 hours away

In another 64 hours, the second round of exams and mind tortures will begin. And maybe 2 weeks after that, it may finally come to an end. The good part of the story is, when I get to the finishing line, there's a prize awaiting, and we both know what it is.
For some reasons, last night's sleep didn't go smoothly. Early in the morning, I was already awake, even though my brain still couldn't function at max capacity. Tried to read a few pages of the chapter, and seemingly understood a little bit. But as it became brighter outside, my eyes got more sleepy than my mind. Still, thanks to a roommate, I was escorted to school quite safely, and even better, there's a room open in the library.
I know it was quite possible for me to fall unconscious at any given moment, and if that happens indeed, I'd miss the morning call, and of course I'm not the one to be awaken. No matter what, I have to hold onto the current state until the promised time. A sleepy and uninterested conversation isn't what I expected, but if it was so, then so be it.
Mission completed, I climbed upstairs to settle down finally and once again get back to work. Instead, drowsiness finally took over and my afternoon was spent with my face on the desk. It's not quite the way I wanted to prepare for the exam, but I can't reverse time, and have to leave the work for tonight.
So here I am, 64 hours away from the impending course of challenge, and trying to get everything together before it's too late. I don't want to seek for an alternative, there will be none given anyway. My chest feels heavy these days for some reasons, and for now I won't do anything about it because I don't know the cause or the solution. Maybe i've thrown away a bit too much, and let's keep the rest for the important stuff. Perhaps in these 10 days, I'll just keep quiet, and reflect on what I've done and what needs to be done.
I don't want to complain that I'm tired again, but denying the truth isn't necessary. After all, we have to face the same problem, toil over the same land, and still find a way to survive the big and small rocks on the road. If you find me giving you not as much as before, don't worry, let me know and it will be the same as before, soon.
So if there's no more conversation for a while, let me wish you a goodnight now. You're still much of a part in my life, and to the best of my ability, I want you to be content and happy. A heartwarming conversation in two days is worth more than two bland ones in a day, even if it means one and a half days of silent loneliness.
