First time for everything

So I am ready for my first NOC shift and it is my first shift off orientation. I hope it all goes well. In order to prepare for tonight, I tried to take a nap around 4pm but I just couldn't fall asleep. I rested at least. Then I left Ellie at my Mom's and Hadley and I came home around 8pm. I got my stuff ready and then I went to bed. I got up at 10pm. My internal clock woke me up at 9:30pm thinking it was time but then I realized I had a precious half hour left. So here's to hoping I can muster up the stamina to stay alert until 7:30am. Off I go!
