Drr....

I have 7 pages of my 12 page paper done. Its due at noon, but I have an exam at nine in the morning. So, the paper is due at 9. Also, I haven't started studying for my final. Anyway, there have been some bright spots in my day. Most memorable is the new writing on the stall door in the library bathroom that I frequent most often. Though the classic, "Shoot Heroin Into Your Dick!" still remains a classic, the new writing is exceptional:

No matter how much
You jiggle and dance
The last few drops
End up in your pants.

However, taking the fatalist approach to life, I note that every spot of light has a big spot of dire black in the middle. So, I'm forced to realize that I've read the bathroom writing no less than eight times in the last two hours. At this rate I will never gain the extra 5 pounds necessary to be able to donate blood.

Another highlight with a spot of black: Dinner with Hannah. It lasted two hours and it was pretty awesome, because I like getting to know people. However, did I mention it lasted TWO hours. Had I not gone to dinner I could have finished my paper, studied for my test, and gotten six hours of sleep. Now, even under the most illusory and innanely hopeful of conceived scenarious, I will only get three hours of sleep, which we all know, does more harm than good in terms of cognitive ability. So, I'm not going to sleep. The last time I pulled an all-nighter before a final I had a mild nervous breakdown and cried during the exam.

Last Highlight entirely coated with frothy, choking black: Writing in muh live journal. I like doing this. I think with every entry I either get better at writing, or at least discover something about myself and my style. Also, I made a new friend, Cali, who is sitting next to me and has read the majority of this entry. But I've a paper to finish and an exam to study for. Also, I realize my problems don't mean shit compared to the problems of the ghetto dwellers I'm writing on. Everyday, they face extreme poverty, substance abuse, police brutality, and a public that for the most part writes them off as lazy and violent. Maybe this paper will further my own understanding of their problems, so that one day I can offer them real hope of real change. But probably not. Its all too big.
