Sloan [12 days ago]

Been sitting in sloan, the fans wailing stashed in ugly Beige cases, been sitting for so long my body hurts, my brain on the verge of crashing. it has been 15 hours and it will probably be another 2-3 before I leave for classes, with the hours spent in this dusty, computer laden, overly and artificially bright lab filled with high pitched power supplies in ugly Beige cases, with the faint clack of key boards, and the clicking of mice.

Thoughts turn to alcohol or better yet sleep, either path to unconsciousness is welcome. It is already the end of the week but I probably wont even be conscious for classes today. Will be getting an early breakfast to try and stay awake, a test looms on the horizon as Monday is bound to roll around far too soon. I need to get a flu shot cause I can already feel my already feeble immune system going to crash. It feels like I am pushing my body and mind to it's breaking point, I will probably lose it at any moment and just fall asleep. it isn't really a fight any more it is more of a wounded belly crawl through the mud and under barb wire and bullets.


Sloan, the squat ugly building connected to the tower - there is a reason there are no opening windows other than those of the offices on the right side of the building, doing homework and assignments here can be frustrating enough that it would make you want to jump out a window, to maybe break a leg to get out of a test or project. All this work is enough to drive you crazy.
