It's four in the morning. The paper is due at 11:30. So far I've written the title page. My brain is talking to me in what I suspect is Ray Kowalski's POV. I'm stuck trying to remember the word for renouncing a heretical faith (there's a special word, not renounce or denounce or capitulate or apostasize, there's a word...). I'm pretty sure I'm not going to sleep at all tonight - plotting a 7am run to the McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin, wondering if I can work in some of the Geology reading that I'm going to be way too much of a zombie to do after I get off work at six. The last time I did this, an honest-to-God zero-sleep all-nighter, was in August, the night before we moved my little brother into his dorm. That time the obsessive task of the overnight hours was cleaning out his room, formerly my room. Tonight I need to write a paper on the bloody Albigensians and their bloody heresy and the bloody inquisitorial records, based on a stupid inane topic question.

And the thing is? Still better than last semester. Hands down.


ETA: recant!
