Heres a play by play of the last 24 hours. Last night I started working on an
incredibly challenging paper for modern criticism at 9 pm. Worked till
1 am, then realized that coffee was just not cutting it and nothing
sort of saftey pins and cocaine would keep my eyes open. So I took a
nap, till 3:17 am. I woke up at 3:17 am and forced myself to lie in bed
for 40 minutes, stressing about the paper the whole time. At 4:00 am I
turned the light on and started working. I wrote 2 pages by 5:30 am, at
which time I needed to find another article on JStor. Anyone who has
used the JStor database knows how fickle it can be, and at 5:30 am, it
was literally making me sick. After 30 minutes of trying to find the
damn article, I gave up, and at 6:00 am I fell back asleep, until 7. At
Approx. 7:15 I turned the light back on and continued work on my essay,
which I thought was due at noon. I finished it by 9, and layed
miserably for 30 minutes until I HAD to get in the shower. I eventually
made my way to school around 10:30 am and arrived at school around
11:20 and proceeded to the computer lab. Of course, it took 15 minutes
to print because my 3 year old macbook needs a new hardrive and doesnt
fucking work. Dammnit. I got to class 30 minutes late, at 11:40 am. I
sat through the class, paper in hand, happy to be done with it, but
feeling lucid. A student be hind me asked a question about possible
resources for the essay. I thought to myself, "Well that was a stupid
question, isnt it a little late? The paper is due today." Then I
thought again, or is it? Once class ended, and I heard no mention of
turning papers in, I tapped the girl's shoulder in front of me, "Is the
essay not due today?". "No" she said, "Next Monday".
