french merchantilism and stuff

So…

I realize that I drank two Red Bulls and the better part of a pot of coffee this morning in a span of about three hours. THEN… I tried to play my guitar with my teeth. Uh, yeah. It was a little awkward. I’ll have to work on that. I think when I …

whoa. I just lost that train of thought completely. Where’d it go?

I think I slept on the floor for like two hours this morning. I don’t quite remember though. That was between Red Bull one and Red Bull two. I’ve realized that it takes upwards of an hour for a Red Bull to kick in… which totally kills me because, usually, I don’t start drinking caffeine until I’m tired. So I think I need some cocaine. That’s FAST, right? So I can just do coke until the caffeine kicks in?

I actually got like 6 hours of sleep on Wednesday night. THEN, I got up (at like 5:00… to work on stuff), ate breakfast, played my guitar, then took a two hour naps… then got up again, ate breakfast again (second breakfast! hurray for hobbits!) and went to class. It’s a good thing that I got that nap, though– I have no idea when I went to bed last night. And no, there was no alcohol involved. I mean– who needs alcohol when you have sleep deprevation?

I’m wearing shorts, which makes no sense. It was like … 2 yesterday. By which I mean two degrees. But now … it’s warm?

Oh my. I have until 4:00 to write my second essay for my 447 take home exam. I don’t even have a thesis. Heck, I haven’t even chosen a topic. But my first essay is mostly done. Six hours. I’ll make it. I just need more … Red Bull?

Time to pay attention. Heh. That’s a JOKE! I’m going insane.

    sounds like you need to drop a class! is graduating on time really worth it?! A degree won’t do you much good if you’ve gone insane in the process! miss you!

    The class-load would be fine if I wasn’t working 20-25 hours a week and involved with two campus groups on the side. I’m just going to have to bust tail until the end of the semester, and then, believe me, I won’t be taking 20 credit hours again next semester!

    I made it, by the way. Just for the record. I think it was even pretty good. A material, ya know?

    Not only did you make it, judging by your post you made it with 42 minutes to spare. An impressive number on multiple counts.
    So yeah. Work less. Fun more. Read more. Your Lahiri should be coming in soon, cuz my flood of books has started to arrive *fist pump* which is actually really bad because now when i manage to stop procrastinating reading, i end up procrastinating reading for class with . . . reading. ugh.
    and the worst is i won’t even make it to the reading because i’ve started playing transportation tycoon deluxe (sweet jesus don’t play this game longer than an hour. thats how long it takes to figure out how to do BASIC stuff, and then 8 hours later [literally] when its 430 in the morning and you’re still off campus with your friends playing this stupid game rolling in the dough with a 12 year old company you wonder WHY. and then you finally come home. wake up, sleep through 1 class, goto the rest, goto practice, come home. and yup. you guessed it. start playing again. don’t do it. don’t start playing. and by don’t, i clearly mean do. cuz its amazing and INCREDIBLY complex.) (and that was a really long ‘in parenthesis’ sentence(s)) kekeke
    i’ll be in RI for the weekend. talk to you soon.
