A week ago, I'd been
A week ago, I'd been sweating and cursing at math like some recalcitrant mental mule inside my head. As much as I tried to get my old math up and working, it just sat in my skull, making incoherent ramblings and mutterings. In addition to the mutterings of all the other personalities up there, I could hardly get any homework done. Today was especially gratifying, because I've really been challenging my own limits, and I made a breakthrough on some calculus problems. I felt like whooping in class. Actually, I did, doing a cowboy yeehaw in joy. As people in my class are overwhelmingly aware of my constant brain farting, this didn't even turn heads.
The long hours spent in class, commuting, and doing homework sure do take their toll. At night I'm dreaming about lesson plans, although clowns keep smashing down the doors and eating the kids, which I watch in bemused slo-mo.Yesterday was an exceptional caffeine and sugar circus. I've been steadily increasing my coffee intake, plus my group constantly contributes donuts and goodies, which I gratefully consume. I get sleepy, then wired, then tired, then wired, then drowsy, then I head home. Yesterday I increased the dosage by having a huge cup of coffee at Java & Jazz, then the Big Vagina show, then Krispy Kreme. Nothing compares to those little gems of sugar, flour, fat and love. I almost shrieked when I discovered the feature donut, Triple Chocolate. Not only is it Krispy Kreme, but they fill it with chocolatey something, then top it with chocolate icing and chocolate dough crumbles. If an orgasm could be mixed with flour and sugar and deep fried, they've done it. I have never tried heroin, but it can't be this good, plus they have to use needles for delivery.
