Inside My Brain

My Wednesday Internal Monologue in Hourly Installments:

6:00am - Alarm!/Groan-So early. It's dark out!

7:00am - Should I get coffee on the way to work or wait until I get there and then get it? If I get it now, I might actually have time to drink it. But if I get it there, I won't run the risk of being late again like on Monday when I had to wait in that monster line and then there was traffic. Ooops, passed the drive-thru coffee house anyway. Looks like I'm getting it at work. Damn.

8:00am - Stupid traffic. I should be relaxing right now before class instead of hustling. I should print a handout for this morning's screening, but I hate having to go print all the time in the department office. I feel like I'm ruining their early morning "serenity" time in the office, before everyone gets there and is all demanding. I remember what that was like. "Where's the toner?" "Can you make sure this is copied today?" "I was hoping you could make sure I have that one shelf fixed in my office..blah blah." It isn't even 8am lady! Write me an e-mail or something. I'm barely alive!

Screw it, the students can just copy it off the board.

9:00am - lecture lecture lecture

10:00am - lecture lecture lecture

11:00am - lecture lecture lecture ... only fifteen minutes until I can get a coffee or a coke or something. I hate when I forget to do that. Now I'm going to get a monster headache.

12:00pm - Ah..hello tasty deli sandwich. I love you so much more than that stupid Carls Jr. burger that I ate on Monday. I hate Carls Jr. It is the epitome of corporate evil, what with their gross out dude festival commercials and links to pro-life organizations. Why did I even eat that on Monday? Oh yeah, greasy + fried + cramps = heaven. I am a bad person. I don't deserve you cute tuna on wheat!

1:00pm - Lecture lecture lecture... This is the third time I'm saying the same shit today. I am bored with my own damn self. Take notes on how I'm phoning it in at this point. Put it in the margins next to the doodles.

2:00pm - lecture lecture lecture ... only 15 more minutes and I'm done with this topic already. Geez. I forgot to refill my water bottle and now I've got cotton mouth. And I really want some mini reeses peanut butter cups like NOW.

3:00pm - Screening of CSI in my TV class. So nice to be sitting. So nice to not be talking.

4:00pm - Ok, it's 100 degrees according to my car's thermometer. That's ridiculous. It is October 1st. I want fall! Come on AC, crank up!

5:00pm - Hey, Radley was really good today... no mistakes or messes or even a pillow out of place...uh oh..well, I guess it wasn't really important mail that was torn to shreds. Is that my underwear in the hallway?

6:00pm - Tired. Bed. Portable AC on full blast. Computer. Maybe a nap before I watch Bones later?

7:00pm (prediction) zzzzzzzzz
