Whoa

As you may have figured out, I didn't get much sleep last night. Around 4 a.m. I decided I could no longer stay awake and so I took a two-hour nap, which refreshed me enough to finish the paper. Then I slept again from about 8:10 to 10. Actually, I set my alarm for 9:20, but that wasn't going to happen.

When my alarm starting going off, I got into that state when I'd feel awake when the alarm buzzed but my body was so tired that my brain convinced me that I was up and brushing my teeth in the bathroom when in fact I was totally unconscious in my bed. Then, when the alarm would go off again nine minutes later, I'd groan mightily at the prospect of having to brush my teeth "again" and feel even more tired.

I decided to get some food for my econ presentation after all when I struck upon the idea of bringing "Turkish coffee" that was really Colombian coffee fresh from White Hen. My wager paid off and one of the 24-oz. cups was still full when class ended. At the moment, I'm trying to force myself to down all three cups of black coffee, which, truth be told, is all that is keeping me awake at this point.
