I laugh in the face of sleep

so... it's about 6 in the moring


I wholly intend to stay awake for probably the next 3 hours, depending on when Dunker opens

of course, as has been my luck, I had some issues with getting my final RSP for ecomp done

ok, ok, so if I had worked on it more earlier, it wouldn't have been an issue. but the point is, I went to bed at about 8am yesterday morning and intended to sleep for an hour or two at the most, at which point I would get up, print out my film paper to be turned in by noon, and finish up my RSP before the 4:30 deadline. I had my alarm set and everything. My brain had other plans, however, for it seems that when my alarm went off I merely shut it off and went back to sleep. I ended up waking up at 1:50. So now I'm thinking, "great, my film paper is late and I don't have enough time to totally finish up my RSP." So I rush off to the arc, hoping beyond hope that I"ll find an open computer so I can print my paper. after standing around for a bit and getting decidedly nervous, I begin to run through possible courses of action, one of which involves me momentarily taking over the computer of a person who must have stepped out to go to the bathroom or something (they were not there, but their belongings were). I was not feeling quite up to that, so I started to head out, thinking I might somehow find a computer and printer elsewhere that I could use. as it worked out, in moving toward the door I spotted a former RA of mine and practically begged her to let me borrow the computer she was on just long enough to print something. she, thank God, allowed me the momentary use of her computer.

at this point it was surely 3 or so, and I headed toward the film and media studies offices in mallinckrodt. (ran into larkin when leaving the arc. she seemed a little out of it. hope she's doing alright.) so I went up to mallincrodt 3 and, perhaps luckily for me, I met up with professor Paul and he said he wouldn't count off for the paper being a few hours late.

yay

so then I finally rushed back to my room and work on my RSP

as was expected, I did not finish it in time

it is done now, at least, so that's good, and I'm sort of hoping that if I get it in really early then my ecomp professor might not take off points

hey, a girl can hope, right??

so... yeah... I think I had a point in here... something about sleep
oh, yeah.
so now that I have a total lack of faith in my ability to wake up after only sleeping a few hours in the preceeding 24 hours, I've decided to stay awake until I can head to main campus and turn in my RSP. this, of course, would be much easier if I had any idea about the time at which buildings open in the mornings. as it is, I plan on heading to main campus at 7:30 and I'll keep trying the doors until I'm let in.

and thus, here I am, "laughing in the face of sleep"

this is sleep: "I'll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!! (...wait, make that goldfish, not dog... I do live in a dorm, after all.)
and this is me: "hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.......HA"

silly sleep. watch out or I might drop a house on you! bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!
...


so yes,
things I have done in the past few hours to remain conscious
>eat some crackers
>play bejeweld
>drink a soda
>play online Boggle and Sorry
>paint my fingernails yellow with green dice spots (1-5 on each hand, obviously)
>read some emails
>WRITE IN MY BLOG

But, on that note, I will now move on to other things, as I'm beginning to grow bored with this and thus beginning to grow tired


tune in next time all
and see if I've slept yet
