Sleepless in my own bed

Hey, Jess here!

I am so tired. The last 2 I spent quite a lot of time outside with my boyfriend, walking and having fun and all (which is partly why I wasn't able to post anything...). I even got a blister from walking and I barely ever get one! Fortunately it's not that bad, so I might not even have much trouble with work tonight.

In the evening we just watched some episodes of Modern Family before we went to bed. Now I have to say that I always get tired from watching series or movies when I lie down and quite often I fall asleep before the end. And yesterday I got tired from watching, but definitely not as much as usual. Though I did fall asleep pretty fast, But I also woke up really soon either! I spent almost the whole night tossing around and got only an hour of sleep before the alarm went off.

While I was in the train this morning I had trouble to keep my eyes open at first. But I really had to stay awake a for a little while, because I was with my boyfriend who were to get off the train a few stations before me and I didn't want to be asleep at that moment. So when he got off the train I closed my eyes for a few minutes, but I only fell asleep for just a few seconds. Then someone sat beside me and I was not able to sleep again.

After that I had to take another train and a bus to get home. And all that time I wasn't able to sleep even a little. When I got home, I immediately went to bed, put on a series I'm watching and was ready to catch up some sleep. It's more than 2 hours later now and I still haven't been able to sleep.

Now I have to say that I haven't been sleeping well for a few weeks now. Even now that I'm graduated and the stress is gone, I still have so much trouble sleeping. But I really don't want to start using any pills. I'm way too afraid I will get dependent on them, so it will only be my last option. So for now I will keep on trying the simple things.

That said, a few days ago I bought a new book. I really like this author and I've read quite a lot from her already. To be honest, I was a little surprised to find this book, because I had no idea it existed, But I'm really excited about this new series. (Yes, it's going to be a series, because on the cover it said 'Book one', haha). And to not be mysterious, and mostly annoying, the book I'm talking about at the moment is "The dark Artifices; Lady Midnight" from Cassandra Clare. I have already read the whole "The Mortal Instruments" and "The Infernal Devices" series. I also have "The Bane Chronicles" in pocession, I just haven't read it. And that's not even everything she's written about the shadowhunters =) This means I'll a have a lot to still look forward to when it comes to reading!

To be continued...

"Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade" Book review

Hey, Jess here! Me, a huge fan of the Assassins Creed game series, is also a hug fan of the Assassins Creed book series. What a coincidence! No, not really, haha. I can't remember when I discovered the books, but I'm definitely sure that I did. Though there is a little catch. Not all the books have been written according to the chronological order from the games. This won't be a problem at all, I'll just follow the games' order and I'll mention in what year the books have been written. Easy peasy lemon squeezy (or something like that)! Assassin's Creed; The Secret Crusade This book was written in 2011 by Oliver Bowden. This is not the first book he's written, but the story is about Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad who is the first Assassin from the first game. Right of the bat I want to talk about the thing I find the most awesome about the books Bowden has written about Assassins Creed. His books don't just follow the stories of the games. It&

God research: 2. Hou Yi

Hey, Jess here! So I kind of let the game decide for me which god I was going to discuss next. In Smite there is a game mode that's called Assault. In this game mode you het a random god picked out for and you have to do it with that one. Though you do have the option to switch with one of your teammates, but only if they want that too. Because of this, I said to myself "whichever one you get to play with, that will be the one you'll discuss next". And so it happened... Hou Yi in the right upper corner, next to the World Tree, taking aim at the suns.   Hou Yi is from the Chinese mythology and he was a famous archer. He is mostly known from the myth of the Ten Suns. This story is one of the most famous Chinese myths and takes place in prehistoric times. Back then a week consisted of 10 days instead of 7. For every day there was a sun and a sun bearer, also called a Jun-raven, that would take place in the sky for that day. These sun bearers were the sons of

God Research: 7. Chang'e

Hey, Jess here! Quite a while ago already, I wrote about Hou Yi. In this story I mentioned the name Chang'e a few times, because she is Hou Yi's wife. Then it so happened that I were to play Chang'e in a match of Assault in Smite, so now it's time to talk about her. Just like her husband, Chang'e is from the Chinese mythology. She is a beautiful woman who now lives on the moon.  This makes her the moon goddess. But she wasn't always that. There are at least two versions of her story and some details have even more variations. Version 1 Source: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e#/ media/File:Chang%27e_flies_to_the_moon_-_Project_ Gutenberg_eText_15250.jpg When Chang'e still was a young, but already beautiful girl, she actually carried the name Heng'e. At that time she worked in the Jade Emperor's palace which was in heaven. In this palace resided the immortals, good people and also fairies. But one day, Heng'e broke a very
