Lack of Sleep

In about thirty minutes, I am going to help out with the upward bound program. Why? Because I like to teach. There is something special about being a teacher. But I really don't think I would be of much use to them because I didn't get enough sleep last night. I suppose, that is my fault for always finding work to do. But I think, I could really use some sleep right about now.

One of the characters of Savant, Angela Roberts is narcoleptic. She falls asleep. A lot. That is soon cured near the beginning of the Novel, because the reason why Angela falls asleep, because she is an advanced human like Nathaniel.

So far, I have spoken of an Awkwarian and Yarian. I have yet to mention what an advanced human is. In the novel only three are mentioned. Nathaniel, Angela and Dr. Greene{Briefly}. There are more, and they live among their Earthian {Union's name for people from earth} brothers in secrecy. They have vowed to never use their abilities, to advance or repress their people. This can only be done, when the entire world has advanced far enough. Each advanced human has special abilities. The only thing they may share is high intelligence. Everything else is so random, it is hard to pinpoint how valuable a human can being to Union Forces. For instance, five-hundred years ago, the academy had one human who could turn invisible. Two-hundred years ago, the academy had a human who could heal by spreading clay over an injury. They were both very valuable to Union.

Ironically, Angela has a special ability that has obvious value to Union, while Nathaniel's ability is ill-defined at best.
I know at this point you are probably wondering what this has to do with me being sleepy. Well, one should get as much sleep as possible, because when we are sleepy...we tend to ramble.
