Tactfully deficient
Jul. 31st, 2002 07:51 amAs I was walking to WAIH this morning, I passed by one of my classmates who asked me if I was "going to fall asleep in class today."
"Of course," I replied with veiled sarcasm. It's not that I mean to fall asleep in any class - and certainly not while one of my classmates is making a presentation, however sometimes I can't help it. Given the heat index and the fact that my sleep patterns have been buggered for ages, there are times I can't escape. It's like a stalker at my back, I'm aware it's there, I know it's coming. I try to fight it - I try to escape. Sometimes I think I've won but then it overtakes me and I have no idea I've lost until I snap back to reality.
In any case, I am fully aware of my shortcomings. I need them neither highlighted nor made light of by others. In this case, it would appear that I will be continuing to feed the vending machine my dwindling cash resources in exchange for a caffeinated elixir.

I know learning does take a lot out of you though. It can make you physically tired using your brain.
