I have to have a paper e-mailed to my Writing Workshop teacher by Midnight tonight. Not only am I fighting the clock, I'm fighting the crash that I'm sure is coming: I only got four and a half hours of sleep last night and I have been pounding caffeine all day to stay awake.
The good news? If I can stay awake tonight, I can sleep in all morning! The workshop I had to be at at 9:15 every Monday is over for the semester! And? I got a new iPod that doesn't have insomnia and does have an awesome battery life. I can block out the chatter!

The lab is ridiculously hot. The computer is a total putz.

Cristal is in the corner reading the notes she passed in middle school. Ben keeps asking Joe for help all the time. Joe usually tells Ben what he needs to do, and when ben asks how Joe how he tells Ben to figure it out for himself. We opened the lab door to get some air circulation going, but now we can hear the people watching season 4 of the Simple Life in the TV lounge. They are super loud.

I just got tea in my sinuses because there was just a little to much to take in one mouthful and I decided to try to suck it down anyway. TV lounge is still loud, but the lab is a much nicer temperature. It is a good night for acoustic guitars.

I got to the page minimum with just enough time to attach it and e-mail it off. Because I'm a good person (and I've hit what is probably my 5th wind) I am going to form a logical concluding paragraph and send it off to be included whenever I'm done with it. I figured it wasn't worth it to attach crap to the original e-mail, and I had hit minimums anyway. Hello waste of everyone's time.
Shane just came in and told Ben his digital lab project was American because he has beef exploding out of his head.

I'm really done this time. I've quit word. As cozy as the lab is with it's dim lights, hot temperatures (now with bonus cool breezes) and pleasant company, I think I am going to retire next door to the studio. The company therein will also be choice, and I can make a cozy for my iPod. It's going to be precious, there might be pictures.
Victory is ourn and a good night's sleep is emanate.
