As finals are approaching, I've been putting in some serious do-projects/study-for-finals time and have not been to bed before 4 am since Monday. So obviously I'm a bit exhausted. However, Wednesday was particularly exhausting as I needed to finish 2 papers and an entire 12-problem CS lab. I started working in the quiet section of the library at 3pm, took a 5 min break at 5pm to grab some food, then worked until the library closed at 12. I headed back to my room and continued working till 5:30am. Having only 3 problems left on the lab and it not being due til 1:30pm later that day, I figured I could catch an hour or two of sleep before my first class at 8am. I set my alarm and dozed of. When I woke, I couldn't remember where I was until I noticed my roommate watching tv. I sat in my bed for 5 minutes trying to remember what day it was when it hit me. I glanced at the clock and it said 7pm. However, a look out my window said it was about noon, so I ask my roommate for the time. "1pm". I put pants and a hoodie on, shoved everything in my backpack and ran out the door. Knowing I couldn't finish the lab in time by the due date, I ran to my classes to ask if I could turn any of the work in late. After I was unable to find them, I had to go to a 2pm class and felt like crap. Both the classes I'd missed were ones that if I wasn't able to do good in this last week, I could run the risk of failing. Quickly emailing both profs emails explaining my situation, I prepare myself for the worst. However, I check my email after class and found that both would allow me to turn in my work late as I am usually on time and make a point to attend class every day. I turned in the two papers by 4pm and went to the library to finish my lab. However, it took my longer than I expected it would and I finished at 8pm. I then finished the work due the next day and ran a few errands. By the time I was able to relax, it was 12 and I realized I had not eaten since Weds, meaning 30 hours had pasted. Eating after all that was one of the greatest meals I've ever had.
