Revved Up

“I’ll stay up.  Fuck it, it’s Friday.”

Normally, I’m concerned with getting a decent amount of sleep so that I can somewhat function in class, but I’ve been clashing with students this week and I’m prepared to just give them a written assignment for the day.  Besides, we;ve been doing a ton of labs and group work…they need some time to sit and be quiet.  So, I must figure out what they can work on, plus grade a billion exams and write progress reports and cook lunch for the ladies at school and make a little flyer to encourage students to sign up for advanced science courses.  But I took a three-hour nap this afternoon while trying to watch Animal House this afternoon.  Can’t even remember what happened so far but it’s pretty dated.  I moved it to the top of the Netflix queue because I had been watching so much Prime Suspect and figured a change of pace was in order.  So there was the nap, plus a Mountain Dew Tall Boy and I’m ready to find out what it’s like teaching high school following an all-nighter!  If only I could live-blog my Friday!

So now Vegas for President’s Day weekend, meaning no running around trying to spot NBA stars and other celebrities or spending money I really don’t have.  But friends are popping out of the woodwork with parties and get-togethers.  E-Money opening his renovated apartment to all…Super C returning from the land of the rising sun to host another Nexus party…will his mystery girlfriend be in tow?  And what about WhatUpThen??  Will I grab life (blazingly hot lady) by the horns (or other graspable part) and wrestle it to the ground (or stand up, perhaps?)???  My mission is to sleep as little as possible this entire three-day weekend and then try teaching high school totally jacked-up from the days before.  Can you tell I’m sick of the kids already?
