I am Jack's shattered will to live,

Just so everyone knows what sort of week I am having, I'm going to outline the whole thing here from last Saturday to next Saturday. That way if I seem a little fried, you know why.

Saturday: Re-dyed hair, ate dinner with family. Something about the dinner didn't work and I got horribly ill that night. Couldn't sleep, but thought it was because of being so sick.

Sunday: Woke up exhausted, worked on as much homework as I could. Tried to go to bed, but couldn't sleep well at all.

Monday: Found out a take-home quiz was due in Chem that I had never gotten. It being given out is not mentioned on any assignment sheet I have. I mention it to my prof and she lets me have it to turn in the next day before classes. I work on two papers that night after being in lab all day and don't have time to start the quiz. I don't well sleep that night.

Tuesday: Spend six hours working on the first problem of the quiz. After that, I can't remember conversion factors, so can't do the other two problems. Talk to prof, she gives me until 2PM on Wed to finish it up. Head off to lab and get soaking wet, cold, and cut up while sampling insects at a stream because coordination is fucked due to lack of sleep. Study for the first Japanese quiz of the week. Wake up six times over the course of the night and dream I'm doing acid-base titration problems.

Wednesday: Get up at three because I can't sleep and be bored for a while, go back to bed, get up at seven to study Japanese more and maybe try to figure out why I can't to the other two problems on the quiz. There may or may not be an in-class Bio quiz today or Friday. I have a paper due tomorrow and two midterms on Friday, and I am so tired I want to cry.

Thursday: I have to turn in paper and study like whoa.

Friday: Take the tests, collapse from exhaustion with roomie.

Saturday: Catch a terribly early plane home.

If I can't get a decent night's sleep before Saturday night, I am going to DIE.
