Carrots to the rescue

Yet another day, where inspite of being organized and following a particular schedule, I ended up sitting in my room thinking of how to finish my work. 'Not another night out' was the first thing that ran into my restless mind. Recently I'd been having a tough time remembering stuff about, me getting up and switching the alarm, talking to my friends 2 hours into sleep (how come u guys always call me exactly when I go to sleep? I don't even have a particular sleep schedule and how can you find the exact time I sleep?), or even attending my parents phone call. Well with all this in mind, I wasn't feeling comfortable in trying to risk another short nap before the night out. Extremely hit with the soporofic wave, I had no other option but to go on the psychological motivation. With coffee, sugar and a few more, sitting deers on the list of 'Don'ts this year' I was a lil perplexed with what would help me stay awake all night. Well, as any confused houser would do, I checked the refrigerator. The arched back took its role and with heavy eyes I noticed a pack of carrots. Great!!!! (Excitement: increased the chance of staying awake for another 1 hr).
A bite, a sip of juice and once an hr peep at the parking lot (the cold does keep me stay awake), had me running all active. One more paragraph to finish and 'nada' - bugs bunny deprived of food..... Just realized, it that I ran out of carrots and the next thing I remembered was 'It's 9 am? When did I sleep? Mom called at 6 and I answered it (checked my phone log)!!! What did we talk about? When did my roomies get up? What the f***!!!!!!!' Guess am blacking out before and during sleep (hehehehehe... Strange way to say that I black out when I sleep). I just wished that my advisor had called me earlier today.
Strange that, whatever bad state I'm at while sleeping (dead sometimes), just seconds into the specially designed ringtone I get when my advisor calls, I bolt out of my bed and respond to his call with so much poise that on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most active) I would score a perfect 20. Once I'm done with the call, I'm still at scale 20 and WOW, it does amaze me. Am changing my alarm ringtone to my advisors ringtone..... Well me back to writing my paper.... Times up!

That was very funny!! carrots and cold make u stay awake ? monday mornings are the worst for me, I end up doing everything in the weekend and invariably tired on monday mornings, A full cup of coffee , more caffine +sugar and foam to the edge of the cup is the only way out . LOL - I like the way you put things - about the scale 1-10 you being 20 and bugs bunny - cool!
