This is why I pay tuition.

My world went upside-down. I couldn't figure out why my partner was dropping her arm in front of my face and wiggling her fingers like a bad mime when I recognized the Legally Blonde nail polish and, oh crap that's my arm. And it's coming from the ceiling.

The goggles are designed with a mirror to flip everything but they require you to tilt your head up to see at eye-level. Otherwise you stare at the ceiling. It's a very dull ceiling. I had to make a conscious effort to look up (down?) to my partner's face and when she offered me the marker, I reached towards her boob. Whoops. She put the marker in my hand and positioned me in front of the board.

My task was to outline the star drawn on the board with the black marker. How hard can that be?

Really hard. Really really hard. My hand was crawling along the board, looking like Thing from The Addams Family but with pretty nails.

I managed to outline one and a half points before go down, no I said down, that's the left, the point is right there, wtf Thing, you're drawing half-assed lightning bolts! became too much and I took the goggles off.

Woah. Woozy.

(Isn't Psych class fun?)



Replace the house with a star.



people against the gratuitious destruction of musical instruments

I made my goal. I went to bed at 8 (and promptly couldn't sleep), and after waking up several times throughout then night, I was told it was 10 am and I should get up. How'd that happen again?

I'm fine now, I think I'll be okay tomorrow and then it'll be back to school on Monday. At least I got it over with. Mission accomplished.

Also, I found this on MLIA.

Today, while at New Moon, the scene where Edward throws Jasper into the piano occured. Some girl in the front row stood up and screamed, "NO! NOT THE PIANO!" and then began sobbing uncontrollably. Her friends had to take her out. Either than girl is too damn dramatic, or she is awesome. MLIA.

I'm glad I'm not the only who's against the gratuitous destruction of musical instruments.

Hour 25 and 2/3rds

Okay, so I finished reading Twilight and am currently reading New Moon, in which I noticed an error of MASSIVE proportions.

In the book, Bella gets tossed into a table and gets cut up by all the plates that fell and broke on her. Jasper doesn't get thrown anywhere.

In the movie, Bella gets tossed into a mirror (which is fine), and Jasper goes flying back into the beautiful black (and shiny!) baby grand piano, which crashes and splinters and makes good kindling.

Dude. Why the piano? Honestly. Have some heart.

I told this to my friend and she texted back saying that it was meant to be dramatic for most people, and tramatic for 'people like me'.

It really was.

I'm right in the depressing portion of New Moon (I know, that's like 3/4s of the entire book) and she's all numb and lifeless and not alert. I really need to be alert right now, 'cause reading a book in a comfy bed with a warm kitty beside you is really tempting.

I'm thinking I'm going to sleep at 8pm. That gives me twelve hours of sleep before I want to wake up, which should work. In total, I'll have been awake for 27 hours. I know people have stayed awake for much, much longer than that, but the point is to wake up at a reasonable hour tomorrow morning, not compete (and then promptly pass out and die three days later).

My high school science teacher once told us that a friend of hers was taking his hugely important medical exam which he needed to pass in order to graduate from the program. He stayed up for four days studying. His exam was an essay, but he was so tired after he wrote the first line of the page, he forgot to move his hand down to the next line so he wrote the entire essay overtop of itself on the same line. And then failed.

I'm feeling much more awake now. I've also completed all of my goals from my first entry. Yay me.

One hour, eight minutes to go.

Tick tock.

Hour Nineteen

I am currently re-reading Twilight as a way to help keep me awake and active. It has been working surprisingly well, however there have been dilemnas.

For example, I never noticed how much Bella sleeps.

All the time.

Every chapter.

Aw crap.

Mr. Sandman

So lately my sleep schedule has been...unusual.
School starts on Monday and most days, I'll have to get up around nine am. Right now, I'm three hours away from going to bed at nine am. Two of my friends have the same issue, so tonight we decided to fix it.

We're staying up.

I woke up at five pm (Seriously! I have never in my life woken up at five pm!) today, puttered around for a bit, saw New Moon (you're not Team Jacob, you're Team Taylor Lautner, there is a difference), then went for coffee with said friends.

We got to Timmies around midnight, and then decided we wanted to play cards.

We didn't have any cards.

So we made them! I ripped up old panto pamphlets, one of the others labelled them and the other miscounted salt packets (aka our chips) and we spent three and a half hours playing poker.

It was kinda awesome. We're keeping the cards.

So now we're awake. And we're gonna stay awake until tomorrow evening (I know, we're gonna crash early on New Years Eve, whoops!), and then wake up on New Years Day at a perfectly respectable hour.

And hopefully keep that up from then on.

I think we can do it. Except we need motivation so I've made a list of things I want to get done.
Okay.

Here goes.
