For Those of You Who Think I Am No Longer:

I'm still here, at least I'm still breathing and as far as I can tell my heart and brain are still working. I'm in this half-asleep/half-awake but still walking around and doing work mode. We got back from Georgia the other day, and I didn't sleep much Sunday night, and last night I didn't even go to bed, so I'm a little tired. I'm on my 34th hour now, the last few compounds of caffeine still floating around my blood stream, latching onto my dendrites in the wonderful way that foreign chemicals do, keeping me from falling face first into my keyboaq034444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 HUH, what? I kinda like staying up really long, I just don't want to fall asleep because I know I'll go home tonight after work, lay down at 6:30 and wake up tomorrow morning at 7. I will have had no evening in which to do anything. But at least I'm done for the semester, aside from my Algebra final which will no doubt be a monster. I did a presentation in class today, I did pretty well except I said "um" about 2.46e^234 times and I was half asleep when I did it, so the clapping at the end of it woke me up. And also, we have a research paper due that is supposed to be 2000 words, but my prof. told me I could hand in what I had done so far (approx. 900 words) and that would be fine, because my "work has been very good, and normally twice as long as anyone else's anyway". So, I don't have to sit down tonight and tomorrow night and drill out another 1000 words.
