Zach - A Day in the Life

So I don't know if I have mentioned this before or not, and as it is midnight I do not particularly feel like looking back on my former posts, I will tell you again, for the first time. I have created some "academic" goals for myself, some of which have been completed. I set out to see the stars under the Star Trees, which are the biggest trees on any college campus, I think. I also want to follow squirrel until I find where the squirrels hide the pocket change. But today's academic goal is a different one. Today, I will experience an entire day, starting now. I will be awake for all of Sunday.

I will be up from midnight to midnight, no sleeping. and I will get to experience an entire day, from end to end. I am kinda excited, even though this means I won't be sleeping for a while. I will be letting you know how this goes when the day ends, until then, I'll be staying awake.

So the twenty-four hours are up. And I meant to write the end of this seventeen hours ago, but then I discovered I was tired and had three finals today. So I went to bed and slept for twelve hours.

The twenty-four hours passed really quickly. I started off by finishing a short story for my creative writing class final, which I think turned out fairly well, not the best, but certainly not bad. Whenever I got tired I played a game of hand ping-pong with one of the several other people who were staying awake with me. It was nice.

After I finished my short story at like two or three in the morning, we watched the Office nonstop until like ten thirty or eleven. After that we went out to get doughnuts at King Doughnuts. Old-fashioned maple doughnuts. Seventy cents of deliciousness.

Next was a shower. Not only did this help me stay awake, it was needed. Enough said.

Then we all met up again and we did homework/I worked on writing a children's book. I didn't get as far as I wanted, but I will be done by the time I leave school.

I don't even know where the time went, but it was a lot of fun staying up with everyone, we hung out and watched a lot of the Office, which was the closest I got to sleeping. There were only four out of the original eight who made it all the way, the other four fell asleep during the Office or for no reason whatsoever, except maybe lack of sleep.

We went to dinner which everyone was awake for, although it would have been hilarious if someone fell asleep at dinner.

Then me and my friend Lauren went to church. I was awake for all of it, but I had to make sure Lauren stayed awake. She did, but she almost fell asleep a few times.

We ended the night with Midnight breakfast. My school hold breakfast the night before finals from ten to midnight, I got some chocolate pancakes and it was awesome.

Then I finally went to sleep. It was a nice day. :)

Just a side note. My finals three finals today went pretty good, not amazing, but pretty good. I think I got a C in piano, but who cares about that class, hopefully an A in Creative Writing, and I think I got a B in Psychology, and if I did then I get a B+ in the class, but if I am lucky enough to have gotten an A then I think I get an A- in the class, which would be awesome. Four finals down, two to go. :)
