The Day that Doesn't End

Ugh. I haven't slept since yesterday morning. I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. Unfortunately, I can't. I still have far too much work and too many classes coming up today.

The "candle-light vigil" in memory of my sister and the others who died a year ago yesterday went well, all things considered. Despite the cold, rainy weather, a nice-sized crowd came to the cemetary around ten o'clock at night. Songs were played, things were said, tears were cried, and people were consoled. I managed to stay at the perimeter of the crowd for the majority of the time. I ventured into it occasionally to check on certain family members and to say hello to certain people. Unfortunately for me, spending over an hour in cold, wet weather and staying up all night doing homework will probably wreak havoc on my immune system.

I guess this means that this is my first "real" college all-nighter. I've stayed awake quite late into the morning before, but never so late that I could not grab some sleep before my class. At least I've made progress in my homework tonight.

I completed three chapters in my biology workbook. The definitions for that workbook take far too long. It is entirely busy-work, anyway, but it eventually counts as a test grade. Valuable busy-work? Ha. I've also got a nice chunk of my biology lab report finished. I've still got quite a bit left to do with it, but I need to get help from those who have done it before. I'm still not sure what I need to do. I have found all necessary sources, though. Before class at 8:15, I still need to find and complete a quiz that I missed on Wednesday. At some point today I should also try to do my Calc. III homework. At the moment, however, keeping my biology grade an A is much more important than trying to bump my B in Calc. III up to an A. If that grade jumps up it will be because of my test grades.

All in all, I'm ready to climb in bed and sleep until Saturday. Sadly, it won't be happening.
