uc: i'm sick and i just finished a midterm and i don't wanna write the essay that i have due tomorrow.

HR: I've suddenly become incredibly nervous, even terrified. I've rarely ever felt this nervous in my life. I feel like I'm about to throw up. Why? I have no idea whatsoever. I'm just sitting at my desk reading articles on ESPN, waiting for my first class. Why do I feel like this? How can I make it stop?

PS: Hey, my Bayesian methods teacher moved the HW due date to "after spring break" instead of "tonight".

PS: That's pretty cool since I hadn't uh started yet.

UC: ... wait, my other Stats teacher moved the methods problem set to... tomorrow morning?

HR: I uh. Also hadn't started yet. And I am reasonably sure I'm doing marginally worse in this class. Uhhh.

UC: Woke up just as dead today as I was yesterday -- got out of bed through willpower at least tho. Can't miss more class.

I recommend 5-hour energy. I usually don't do energy-anything, but this one seems to actually work, which surprised me. problem is, you know when it wears off, you suddenly feel just as tired as when you started, little disconcerting. I'm trying not to make this sound like a paid advertisement.

HR: I didn't wake up until 11:50-ish. I had class at 8:15, and eval with my flight commander at 10:15, and a class at 11:15, none of which I could afford to miss. smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf smurf fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

UC: people are taking the "Save Darfur, Minnesota" facebook group way too seriously...

PS: So when my English GSI said that in lieu of our usual reading response for this week, we could write two original poems as long as we took it seriously, put a short explanation of the poem, and wrote about a significant formal feature of the poem, I may have gone a bit overboard. But I'm loving the way this one's turning out! I should have known that if I were to write poems, even if it were for an assignment, I wouldn't be able to rest until I were completely satisfied with them. Thankfully, I have plenty to muse over...

UC: Facebook chat never seems to work for me

HR: Didn't get to finish my steel bull for tomorrow...so disappointed. I didn't even get to put the legs and body together...or make the head...

HR: Sooooo exhauuuuusted

PS: Best feeling in the world = baby rat sleeping under your shirt, next to your heart

uc - i feel like this http://www.homestarrunner.com/sickday.html

VERY HR: Realized I have my history section tomorrow. Looked it up and I have a 3-4 page rough draft paper due tomorrow. That I haven't even thought about. In addition to the two English poems, which are for credit. This is very very disturbing. Picked up a couple of 5-hour energies, and this will be a very very long night. Night all! I'll be off teh internetz after I post the latest novel chapter.

Haha dude 3-4 page rough draft=1-2 hour time commitment

I have a psych paper and two and a half spanish papers to do, but they're due thursday morning, so guess when I'm doing them?

ok so I lied (unknowingly) on the no internetz thing. But given my work schedule lately, nope. It'll be quite a long time indeed...Deca very briefly gave me a work ethic. Now there's none.

PHYSICS EXAM TOMORROW




Though I'm not really too worried.

Someone broke DDT

UC: I am still awake. Close to finished, but awake nonetheless. I'm not entirely sure what I'm trying to say with this draft anymore. I think I'm going to settle for "there's promise in this but the execution got totally smurfed and there's not much clarity" comments/marks. That would be a relief.
If I allow myself another half an hour to finish the draft, another hour to finish the poem I already started, and two hours to work on the poem I have yet to do, I should be done about an hour before I have to leave for class. Enough time for breakfast and a quick revision? Who knows. I'm having a little trouble figuring out time/what the hell I'm doing. All I know is that from now on, I'll be paying attention to all my classes and when the hell things are due, because otherwise I'm going to die/fail out.

PS: Slept for about 6 or 7 hours, and got a good response from my email.

HR: Still completely smurfing exhausted, christ.

UC: Might not finish this stats.

HR: Almost certainly won't finish this Russian.

AF: nothing starts off your day like numb extremities and muscle failure.
PS: fastest 1.5-mile run time by 20 seconds
PS: didn't die of a heart attack after taking that 5-hour energy right before PT. might have to buy some more of those.

PS: Surprisingly, finished the stats.

UC: 30 minutes until I need to be at stats, and so much Russian. And showering.

AF: At least I can probably put off the quiz 'til friday.

Drank a full throttle energy coffee to start the day.

I'M GONNA DESTROY YOU, WEDNESDAY!!!!!

HR: The paper I'm about to turn in in 20 minutes is the most incoherent piece of crap I've ever written. This day is going to be smurf.

GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM PHLEGMATIC HUMOR.

I thought this about a paper I wrote for Govt. 6 and finished about 2 minutes before it was due. Not a pleasant experience. But then I got an A-, which needless to say was a PS. There's always hope.

yeah. sometimes i'll turn in something i think is good and get a relatively bad grade, and others i'll give less than my best and score well on it. smurf's crazy!

And it's just a rough draft. Dude needs to chillax a little.

just woke up. Still tired ><

asftogh

so exhausted

maybe i should drink caffeine

noooo i must avoid caffeine after a few weeks ago

aghhhkhhkgprth

):

They say that for napping too, but there's reality, and then there's you and some other person talking in a room.


Assumptions of course.

uh

WHAT?

i literally have no idea what you just said

like none whatsoever

Is it possible that we're all just so tired atm that we're rendered completely incoherent?

Certainly possible. SO here is how things rolled a while ago.

"I'm gonna take an hour or two nap, get up, and beast some homework."

-five hours later-

"Yawnnn... wait what 9:50 uhhh goddamnit"

-gets up to grab computer-

"AAAUGHHH MY NECK WHAT"

for real though it feels like for all the time I was napping I was just sitting up and someone was karate chopping my neck. this is so painful. what in the hell. and it wasn't a bad position or anything, just head on the pillow. damnit.

Ugh, I know what you mean...I've had a really sore neck for a couple of days (not for the first time) and I'm not sure why.

Yeah, this almost feels like it's residual from the retreat this weekend, where I didn't have a pillow or blankets and thus slept on my brittle, hard-frame suitcase for a pillow with no blanket. Had massive neck pain every day. That had gone away tho, and this was a perfectly normal sleeping position...

Ah, to clarify, I assume since you're in therapy that the person was all "regulate your sleeping, no napping, no caffeine, no alcohol" etc.

Because that's standard stuff and such.


Also I'm pretty out of it, whatev!


UC: Research paper, midterm, and a 6 minute speech due next wednesday. yaaaaay

Oh haha. No, I haven't been told any of that, and I woulda laughed if she had said any of that. The caffeine was because a few weeks ago I had an all-nighter where I got wayyy too shaky because of the caffeine and I've been trying to avoid having much of it since then. Only had a few cans of coke last week, this week I've only had a few cans. Didn't know I "wasn't supposed" to nap and don't really care, it was pretty impossible for me to stay awake. I very rarely nap but sometimes it's necessary. So much for regular sleeping schedule tho. And I don't really drink so not much of a threat for that last one, ho ho ho.

PS: This isn't the worst stat assignment ever, it seems.

EDIT: also I really shouldn't be this tired after a 5 hour nap. :\

Surprisingly, after pulling an all-nighter last night, I'm feeling pretty damn good tonight. Probably has to do with the fact that there's no classes tomorrow because of the protest. I've lost count on what this one's about, but it's probably serious. Again. Hopefully no one lights dumpsters on fire this time. There's been so many protests and walkouts over tuition hikes and all that stuff ever since I got here, I don't really care anymore. After the first two or three of them you just kinda get apathetic. So it's a laundry and wheat thins and cheese and pjs and Muse and Lord of the Rings night!

lol Berkley

Wait...the school cancels classes so that students can protest against it for tuition hikes? That would be approximately the most absurd thing ever.

Seems to me Berkley just likes protesting for the sake of protesting. People like that are annoying.

<-- Will freely admit that I'm talking out of my ass, I don't have any info on this so take that for what you will.

While getting up for 7:30 calculus and then having nothing the rest of my day is kinda lame, a leisurely breakfast and a free copy of The New York Times is a damned good way to start any day.

Tuition hikes, ways and means committee chairs, and debt problems in Greece, Spain, and Ireland. Mmmm mmmm.

Also, why the smurf would you place your necessary time of awakening any earlier in the day to make way for a meal you could just as easily consume after the class?

Also also, I hate that your dining hall is actually open at breakfast time. I MIGHT BE WILLING TO GET UP A TAD BIT EARLIER IF I COULD ACTUALLY GET FOOD BEFORE MY EIGHT-HOUR DAY.

Nah...I think you've got it completely accurate this time.

Berkeley...they got people living in trees up there!

I did consume breakfast after class, silly.

My ex (and a lot of other people from my school too I guess) goes to Berkeley, and Jonesy is pretty much spot on. I mock it so much.

Mikerollins goes to berkley...

Berkeley is a land of hippie fairy dust.

I chose Ucla over Berkeley, after I saw a bunch of chicks with hairy legs on my campus visit back in the day.

Bah. Regardless, my complaint that I can't get breakfast because the dining hall isn't open until nine o'clock stands.

That's only because razors hadn't been invented yet when you were in college

Even cavewomen found a way to groom, Jonesy.
