Gooey Brain

I have my first final tomorrow. My brain turned to goo* at about 4 pm this afternoon (I guess at this point it was yesterday afternoon). I have somehow managed to work an additional 5 hours or so. To keep myself alert I would take exercise breaks in addition to caffeine. I can do 64 step ups in 60 seconds.** Now physically I am alert but my brain is done like dinner. I have to wake up in a little more than 4 hours and I am wide awake. Yeah, this is going to turn out well.

I want my mommy to write a note to my professor so I can defer the final.


Dear Dr Redacted,

Please excuse Janice from finals until after the NHL playoffs.

Sincerely,
Mommy Marie



* Much to the amusement of my professor.
** I think that is a lot but I don't know.

Update (6:09am): I think I slept a half hour. I tried but I couldn't. I was half awake and confusing what happened on hockey tonight with linear algebra. As I thought about a particular penalty in the Sens vs Pens game, I got worried that I didn't know what to do with p(2)+p(-2)=0 in this situation.

It's cute when you use Mom's middle name.

Stupid finals. I feel your pain, although only in memory. You can laugh at me next year, when I'm writing finals on databases and staff management.
