Today, I can take solace in the fact that I knew the song quoted at the bottom of the most recent Penny Arcade news. That’s nice, because I never know what the song is. Ever.
…Before you accuse me of not actually knowing it, I’ll just say that it’s System of a Down’s Chop Suey. Rejoice.
I have also come to the conclusion that - surprise! - sleep is good. I got a full eight hours or so last night, which was most beneficial. It only took me a single snooze to get up! This is compared to Wednesday. After, oh, let’s say, nine or so snoozes, I sat up and reset the alarm clock to wake me up for class #2. I then preceeded to go back to sleep, and snooze repeatedly through class #2. Luckily for me, class #3 started at 3:30 — past the point where I was glued to the mattress. They were only labs, and I can honestly miss the first one for the rest of the semester without it affecting my grade. The second one is a bit more important, though. Probably should’ve woken up for that one. Heck, I should’ve gone to bed earlier.
The way I see it, I was up late enough that all my friends on the east coast stopped being away on AIM — they were getting up for class. Ha!
In a geek sort of way, you could say that the derivative of life over the last week or so (especially the last day or two) has been in the positive range. That is, life is sloping upwards. You got that, right? Yeah, read the title. Uh huh, fine. Go ask an engineer or something.
