I was tired today. More than the usual tired. I was eyes-drooping, head-nodding, spacing-out tired. I had three cups of coffee before heading to class, and still had a difficult time trying not to nod off in the middle of lecture.
During my hour break, I decided to head to my room to grab a little nap. "Who knows?" I thought, "Why not just skip choir, and keep sleeping?" "That sounds like such a good idea, self." I said to, well, myself. "I'm glad you thought of that." "I'm glad too."
I get to my room, climb back into my pj's, turn off the lights and crawl into bed. I turned on my fan and closed my eyes when,
*knock, knock, knoc*
"Oh god." I was still speaking to myself. "Maybe if I don't answer, they'll just leave me alone." Unfortunately, they decided to call my room phone.
You might think that would make me answer, but you'd be wrong. I refuse to answer either door or phone. I will not be disturbed.
But then, I was wrong. After 4 phone calls, I unplugged my phone. Of course, once my answering machine stopped picking up, I'm sure they knew I was there, but I don't care. They continued to knock, but I refuse to budge. However, my eyes refuse to close either.
Then the fire alarm went off. This was truly not my day to sleep. I snuck out the side door and waited where no one could see me. I then snuck back into my room and into my bed.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten to turn the sound down on my computer. E-mails started pouring in. My boss emailed me 5 times in 8 minutes. Friends were attempting to chat. I had two text messages on my cell phone.
Enough! I turned everything off. You can't, however, turn your door off. People kept knocking. and knocking. and knocking.
I suppose they gave up eventually, or I was so sleepy that I fell asleep despite their attempts to wake me. Either way, I got my nap. Part of me says that I should have answered. Someone might have really needed something. However, I am not on duty until 6pm and then I can't sleep again until midnight. I will *hopefully* be talking to a very nice guy tonight, and I would like to be alert and coherent when we talk.
That's all. A goofy, stupid story... but I had nothing better to write about today.
