Exhausted, the first time I take some time for myself (at noon, tomorrow wake up at 7 omg :O), and I'm not feeling good as expected.
Trying to getting better, difficoult to...

Bye Guys!

As you requested in your signature, I've altered the paragraph in an effort to assist with your English, introducing some colloquialism and formalizing the sentence structure. You were mostly understandable, though the activities of Vancouver Blues are still a mystery, since the words highlighted in red aren't descriptive enough; they're just words to me, as I'm unfamiliar with the event. I was forced to guess at their meaning.

Noon (or midday, which is less common) is only used for 12pm (12:00), not 12am (00:00), which is midnight.

Additionally, you could elaborate on why you are feeling bad, as it isn't necessarily clear from the information provided. Are you sick or simply tired?

Also, always running is ambiguous. You could be constantly running around, which would explain your tiredness. The event could be constantly running, which suggests that it would make you tired. Lastly, the people in the event (subject) could be constantly running the activities (object), such as experiments and the 'usual physics stuff'. What is the subject?

You are the subject: Crazy times, I've been constantly running around.
Vancouver Blues is the subject: Crazy times, as it's running nonstop.
The organizers and participants of the Vancouver Blues are the subject: Crazy times. They're running experiments, explaining theories, and talking about the usual physics stuff.

Anyway, get some sleep, and hopefully you will feel better tomorrow.

It was more just like a stream of consciousness then an effective discussion, I apologize.
The fact is that I don't why I'm feeling so bad about this conference even if I wanted come sooo badly... Maybe is the science, imho too many marketing about minor discoveries and workgroups and few (if none) good effectivly new physics. Maybe I've not been able to talk to some people I wanted and stressed a lot about minor issues. Maybe I'm just homesick... Maybe all of those things!

Thank for the language corrections.
