NSSN #1

Pledge retreat was this weekend, and I got a grand total of about eight hours of sleep during the Friday and Saturday nights spent at the "secret" campsite. There will be no sleep on this Sunday night because I have a massive amount of work to catch up on (thank god I don't have class this Tuesday and can spend the day trying to figure figure out how fogs, clouds, and all the other atmospheric phenomena form for my Wednesday midterm); I am so mentally and physically exhausted.

I spent almost two hours preparing to write an essay on an article for my environmental studies class before I looked at the prompt again and realized that I had been reading and outlining the wrong article.

FUCK.

Hence the "No-Sleep Sunday-Night," or NSSN, I am spending in the nerd box with an (unfortunately) empty coffee cup and half of a ciabatta grilled cheese sandwich (which I just finished eating).

I feel kind of discouraged.

My yoga/pilates class starts in less four hours.

Both of my papers are due in less six hours.

AND I JUST WANT TO SLEEP.

Five pledges were caught without their pins this week, so all 75 of the remaining pledges have to wear homemade paper "pins" that are five times as big as the original one in addition to the real pledge pin for the entire week:


That's really big.

Was it, and is it worth all of this?

Well, let's put it this way - even though I still don't know all of the lyrics, the Toast Song has been stuck in my head for the last three days and instead of driving me crazy, humming the melody at random times kind of makes me happy.

Daily working, daily striving....
