We should just call it "unsuitable for camping". Anywho, yay coffee and the fact that I have indeed found a possible loan for college!
Man, actually writing in this thing almost is more effort than it's worth. :)

A girl I barely know came up to me in class and handed me something in wrapping paper. I kinda got freaked out and left class afterwards in a hurry. I opened it in my room and it turns out that it's a sketchbook. I'm kinda in a pickle here because I don't don't know what she meant by giving it to me. I'm almost too creeped out to return for the final class tuesday morning.

Other than that, I seem to be inheriting a intense desire to produce my own comic or start participating in www.sketchbattle.com

Sometimes, the human being is a strange creature, you know?
(I had something else to say, maybe about the weather or exams, but it must not be important)

Well, here I am, it's ten o'clock in the morning and I broke my promise to myself that I'd go to sleep last night. In approximately one hour, I am going to sell my books for this semester however and that'll hopefully put enough money into my bank account for me not to be fined. Next wednesday is the end of my exams. (I know that I am repeating myself) I can't wait to go home and do my reading for the break if I can't find employment.
I need to stay up until tonight so then I can go to sleep.
Until then, I'm going to enjoy my jamaican coffee.
(It is so much better than regular coffee, you have no idea)

Nick

Between the 30 hour days and the random pots of coffee that have been sustaining me instead of actual food, I think I'm going to need a break after finals. Next week Wednesday, then I get to find short term employment, because I am absoulutely broke. :(
I seem to be crashing from all this random (well, not really) staying up until ridiculous hours but I have tests, so that galvanizes me into action.
I am starting to become incoherent, so it's coffee time.
Oh, yeah, I like MUD's

That is all,
Nick

Well, Thanksgiving break is coming up and I seem to be rather looking forward to it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not quite one of those "homesick" people, but I do want to see many of friends again and quite possibly assist my father in yelling at the Lions on thursday.
God bless the weekends, especially the ones that give me an advantage in the homework. :)
The biggest trouble I think that I'm going to have is bringing things to entertain myself with over the 5? day weekend.
I also think that I found one of my favorite drinks of all time.
It's called an iced triple espresso. The magic of it is all in how fast you drink it. If you're like me, you chug it because it most likely tastes nasty, then you can stay up for hours. :P (Right now I'm going on the 24 hour mark :P )

Todays word of the day is: Anodyne; An-UH-Dine
1. Capable of soothing or relieving pain.
2. Source of relief or comfort.

//Nick

I am going to start following the recommendations of some friends and only sleep 4 hours a night. (Well, if I don't pull off a 27 hour day :P ) The trick? A veritable shit-ton of caffeine.
Actually, make that a metric shit-ton.
That's right, it means more caffeine than a standard shit-ton.
(god damn trippy english measurements)
Oops, the mad scientist in me came out for a second.

//Nick

I'm up at 5 o'clock again, but this time I have a mission. I need to finish a outline for a speech on alternative energy sources. I have almost no information, I have almost no idea what is expected,and I don't seem to mind all that much. I know that I'll nail this speech, my only true flaw is my tendency to spout off too much information to back up my point. I'm finally ingesting coffee again, I hadn't realized how much I missed it's ability to keep me relatively coherent during 27 hour days. :) I have to consume a lot of it, but eventually I'll crash for approximately 7-14 hours. I think that is a fair trade. :)
I'm slowly becoming a stereotype, dammit!
Oh, well. It could be worse, I could be a "uncool" stereotype instead of the computer nerd addicted to caffeine.

//Nick

well, once again I manage to find myself awake at 4 o'clock in the motherfucking morning.
I don't know what to say, except I've started exercising again and seem to have become a personal trainer for half my floor.
At least it'll keep me busy I supppose. :)
I wonder, what would be most effective at anesthetizing me? I'd use sleeping pills, but the people across the hall are sleeping because of them and they'll never get up.
I do have a hammer though, it's strictly plan B.
I still don't believe that this livejournal thing I'm writing is real, must be because I never visit except late at night.
(or early in the morning)
I'm having a hard time moving my legs!

Stumbling to bed with your permission,

I need to sleep but I find myself occupied by electronic entertainment. My programming teacher is a huge fan of leaving her class mystified for their assignments. I enjoy working through problems, but I spent almost 6 hours trying to code this last program and barely got anywhere.
I finally gave up, I'm stupid not insane.

I think I have a test in that class tomorrow as well. Whatever, tests are how I kept my grades up in high school, college hasn't proven much different. In class difficulty or drama between friends.

I need to find a productive hobby. Just not the internet.

Sometimes I think I might have been cross bred, with a bear.
Am I the only one who hibernates instead of taking naps?
I slept for 12 hours 3 days ago, 11 hours yesterday and I'm still tired.
I sleep at really inconvenient times I suppose, like during test days.
Any way, I've been drawing more lately and that is exhausting, more so than any workout.
Peace,

You know, having this little journal "thing" to record my thoughts of the day only makes me realize that I have one of the most bland lives on the face of the planet.
And now to completely refute this opinion.
I seem to have completely lost whatever mastery of the English language I could claim before today.
I'm stumbling over words, switching them around, straight out forgetting them and other things that would make Webster spin in his grave.

DnD was rather silly tonight, but that's to be expected.
That's right, I said it. I play Dungeons and Dragons.
Wanna fight about it?

Evidently this LiveJournal thing is more popular than I could've guessed. Most everyone I know has one, which is slightly different from what I thought. We'll see how long recording events can hold my interest I suppose.
