God won't let me burn out =)

brain (instantaneous state) = fried eye bags = 3 x w, where w = amount of water retention due to lack of sleep for 1 day mind = work done -> infinity work done by neck in holding up the increasing weight of my head due to above formulae = F against gravity X distance of head from desk = weight of (fried brain + eye bags + growing information in mind) X o.3m ==> state of neck = permanent injury clues pointing to over-mugging: 1) u start thinking of physics theory when going about everyday stuff eg. looking at the sunset - thought in Joanne's head : the reason why the sunset is so brilliantly red today is due to the added humidity of the sky, due to impending monsoon season, which results in a shorter wavelength of light refracted from the sun, resulting in a more intense red color. 2) when your body voices its protest by lying paralyzed on bed, your mind spins on going through a growing to-do list, and evaluating the chances of getting a >4.0 GPA this semester 3) you wake
I love rare catches - of books I mean! I remember someone - Isabel i think, was sharing how she would go to the library, get a pile of books, go home and get disappointed with them.

Hung out with the pooks La Jang, Leen Bean and Peannette, chatting and 'surprise!'- studying into the a.m. Lol.. I was really running on something else I can tell you, but I totally crashed when I got home at 5am... Tutorials begin at 10 - woo! 2 hours of sleep! - i thought. Then the next thing I know is waking up with my dad announcing lunch time. I glanced at the clock (if you knew my clock, you would understand my confusion. Talk about non-descript, you need a high IQ to read the time off it!) and was all: 'haha.. funny dad, it'
