My goal to stay up for my 8AM class and fall asleep on the 5-hour bus afterwards is failing. I already feel myself crashing. I've tried to keep myself entertained thus far, and it has worked, but I am at a loss as I feel more of a desire to sleep than stay up. I hate this decision, because it brings on a higher potential of sleeping through my one-and-only class tomorrow morning. And attendance matters whether you believe me or not. And it's an easy class. And I can't miss it if I sleep in, because that would also imply/assume I miss the bus that takes me to the far away lands of the North.
The day-day was long. (Tuesdays and Thursdays always are.) 10 pages of a Macro assignment, and I'm not entirely sure that it's 100% correct. School used to be easy, damnit. There is no reason I'm taking this class. That certainly doesn't help my motivation to learn more.
Frax came over tonight (because he's here for the weekend!) around 10:something PM. A 3-minute dance party was had. (That's right. I have photographic evidence.) Well, it was just Frax "dancing," and I don't remember how it came about -- although I am sure he will remind me once I write that -- but it happened and that is the end. :P Good times were had. I miss having in-person conversations with him. And Shan, too. She was there, being my roommate and all. :) Frax eventually left around 2:something, and I was originally going to go to bed.... but... when I passed The Man Room on my way to go the bathroom and get ready, I heard The Men talking so I joined them for about a half hour more. Although drunk, Jordan is wise. And Kevo farts, but he still cares. And Sam, is Sam. I don't know. But he cares, too. They are all very good boys. (Sorry. Men.) Upon my exiting of The Man Room, Shan came to tell me about recent drunk-drama that was occuring nearly 2 inches away from our dorm room. Naturally, we ended up spying on them through our peep hole until about 3:30 in the morning when the noises subsided. I have concluded that I very much enjoy spying on people through our peep hole. My entire body was pressed up against the door. I'm surprised they didn't feel my eyes watching them -- or Shan krinkling the bag of Trix, whichever.
