one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain...

Remind me to never stay up all night to then go to class early in the morning... i mean i guess the brightside is that i now i have a vague idea of what it's like to be sleep deprived. You see, because of my foolish procrastination I found myself staying up writing a prep speech outline on "Drugs in Rave Culture," as well as an english research paper, " Video Game Violence," and then studying for a test that I had the class after those two obstacles.

My public speaking was a sinch. My teacher was sick so we ended class after about 20-30 minutes of class. I turned in my outline and things were all good.

Right before going into my english class, Caroline reminded me that we had to have three copies of our paper so with 15 minutes to spare i scrambled to find the nearest copy machine. It ends up that the closest one was at Gorgas Library; for some reason it makes sense in my mind to have a copy machine in the English department... but i guess that's out of my hands. We did peer reviews and things were all good.

I ate lunch with Keith, Brett, Molly, and co. This was about the time that my sleep deprivation had started to become an ailment. Everything had been fine until... my head started to hurt like i was getting a headache... but not quite a headache... it was more or less just uncomfortable... then I started to feel nauseated. My stomach was curling in itself as though my abdomen had become a manual butter churner... (you know, one of those old wooden inventions from the colonial days?) it sucked. But i went to the SUPe store and bought my test booklets and headed to class. I started to wonder if I threw up during my test if they'd let me retake it. hah... but I get to class to find out my teacher has moved the test over a week. ... are you kidding me? would it have hurt to let the students know? maybe if i had known that i didnt have a test i would get an inkling of sleep. but, no.

jerk.

oh, well.

so i meant to go to the BCM today... but I kinda fell into a little nap and woke up about 30min after it finished so ... oops. I meant to introduce myself to a few people that i see all the time. but i guess it's okay that i didnt. as i say, "let's try to not burden the masses..." ok so i may not actually say that often or at all... but doesnt make it any less true.


Next week, thursday/friday, fall break.
i'm going home. 3 people may come with.
(nice dream)
