Hey /an/, first time pet owner here.
Why does my kitten's eye close up like twice a day?

toxoplasmosis

is it sleepy
because it's a shitty dirty diseased cat
get a better pet next time
Might be allergies, do you just mean eye gunk?

Yea just eye gunk
Kittens are prone to eye infections. Check the white eyelid underneath the outer one -- if it's pink and swollen-looking it might be infected. Also check for excessive discharge. Just tears is probably fine, but if the discharge looks gummy and especially if it's colored that's a sign of trouble.
There also may be something stuck in its eye, though I've never had that happen in one of my cats so I'm not sure what to look for there.

There's greenish discharge
I'll probably take Gretchen to the vet on tuesday

Gretchen is such a cute name! Good luck with her.
Your best best is to gently wash the cats eye with some salt water till you can take her to a vet. If she has eye gunk and it starts to go crusty round the tear ducts the infection can get worse.

Not sure, op, mostly every kitten I've encountered didn't survive the night...
