Sleepless at the Y

Oh for goodness' sake! It has been awhile, hasn't it? Sadly, this can't even be a decent post, as I've got to get to my Personal Finance class in ten minutes and really must buy some sort of candy before then. I'm really not a huge candy junkie. I don't need it often. No, today candy will be my last ditch effort to stay awake during class. Ugh.

Last night I went to World of Dance (AMAZING!) and then made a couple of calls. I got in just after ten. That's really not too late, even if I hadn't started my homework. Sadly, I chose to ignore my pretty little post-it note that says, "No Facebook after 10pm if Homework is not Complete!" I thought I'd only check. Honestly. But then I saw my dearest Mommy was online and I had some things to discuss with her (ahem. Like my ridiculously impulsive phone call to a modeling agency.) Then, perhaps three quarters of an hour later, Brittany got online. I never see that girl, ever. Probably because she's in Thailand living the life and I'm at college living the other life. With that in mind, I simply had to chat with her. When I was finally able to drag myself away from FB and my family, it must have been close to midnight.

I did homework until two then decided I could not tell if Alma was good or the antichrist anymore (Book of Mormon homework.) I hit the hay, got up at six and finished that assignment.

Negative consequences of my networking: I nodded off now and then in Book of Mormon and Spanish. Those are even slightly interactive classes! Personal Finance is in a lecture hall. No one would notice if I didn't go, let alone slept through the whole thing. That is why I need candy. I'm hoping the sugar rush and flavor will keep me awake.
Wish me luck!!

P.S. Don't let me chat with you late at night on a school night if I have homework. I can't control myself.

  1. Modeling agency, eh? Elite is always looking for athletic models...

    And I swear - hand in the air - I won't speak to you unless your homework is done. And unless I really want to.

  2. Snacks were always my rescue from sleep in class. I recommend quiet treats... none of this Ritz crackers in the package noisy stuff. One of my friends would always fall asleep in our class of 8 people... 8. We were sitting at our desks in a little half-circle and she would still fall asleep. Crazy.
