Let's Pretend We Don't Exist, Let's Pretend We're in Antarctica

It's not too terribly difficult to pretend that I'm in Antarctica, (though I have seen like, 5 dipsticks wearing shorts and t-shirts today. What the heck. Are you dumb?)though the pretending I don't exist is just wishful thinking....

I ended up deciding not to go to bed for an hour and a half, and instead went to breakfast and tried to figure out how else to kill time. Turns out I am a morning person. I just can't sleep beforehand. I ended up filling out the eval and sleeping from 10-4:30 with a little break of awake in the middle, and then spent the rest of the night finishing off Modern Social Problems. Took that exam today. Done with that class forever. Around 1:45 am I realized I was really stinkin tired and didn't feel like nor would be efficient at writing, so I made the decision to go to bed at 2:30 and slept til 11. I'm not sure if this was a smart life decision. On the one hand, I got 8 hours of sleep and have 26 hours to write 18-19 pages, if I don't sleep at all tonight. On the other hand, had I finished at least one essay last night, I would have about 5ish hours of sleep and 26 hours to write 14-15 pages. I guess we'll find out if this was a smart decision or not. But regardless, I have 26 hours to finish 18 pages.

Let's do this.

First, I must show you my survival kit:



It consists of:
1. A 6 pack of mountain dew to keep me awake
2. Smart water to make me smart/have to pee a lot so I have an excuse to occasionally get up
3. Play doh to have something to look at/play with that will make me happy
4. Peaches cuz they're freakin good

I have also strategically placed some of my best papers from this semester around me to either remind myself how good of a writer I am so I can do this 18 pages in 26 hours, or to remind that even if the papers I write suck, at least I had three good ones earlier in the semester...

Also, I've got a little countdown going. Hopefully this will give me the kind of motivation I need. 19 pages to go....
