My Life

This past Monday, I had a huge 8 page paper due in English, and the first half of my in -class extended essay/final exam. Yesterday, I forgot that my English professor assigned us three 1 page essays to be turned in by today (Wednesday). Since Sunday, I have had worse than usual insomnia, and as a result, I have slept a total of only about 8hrs.Today, I showed up in English, completely comatose,from lack of sleep, and found out that I forgot to write those 3 essays. This messed up the little mental composure I had left, going into the second part my essay/final. At this point I thought to myself, "Alright, I'll just get this essay over with and zone out in the rest of my classes, since I don't have anymore tests or quizzes today." After time was called, I handed in my clumsily written essay, and headed to math. Once I got to class, my math professor came in about 10 minutes late and announced, to all his 100+ students including myslef's surprise,that we were having a test today on what we just learned over the past two days; this all because he's an absent-minded bafune who didn't plan for enough time to take our last test before the final next week. And we just finished taking a test 3 days ago for the last section! After I took the "pop test" I stumbled into geography, which thankfully had no surprises, listened to his lecture for an hour and fifteen minutes, and then went home. When I got home at 1:30, I just crawled into bed and planned to sleep this living nightmare away until work at 3:00. Well, I ended up sleeping past my alarm to wake me up for work, and so I didn't wakeup until my boss called me at 4:00 to see where I was. I was pretty startled by this awakening, especially considering what all had happened so far today, but I got out of bed and rushed off to work. I arrived at work, disillusioned by the sequence of events leading up to that moment, but my boss didn't seem that upset about my tardiness, however he hasn't had a chance to talk to me about it yet. When i got off of work, I came home, laid in bed wide awake until now (3:30am), and I don't know if this was just a really sick dream that I haven't woken up from yet, or whether this is my life.

Foster Falls part III

One of the guys I went climbing with at Foster Falls last January sent me this picture today, and I had to post it! He climbed up to the top of the pitch to the left of me to get this shot.

Random but worth reading
