My last 24 hours:

-Sleep until 3:30 pm 15 February
-Wake up at 3:30, but stay in bed
-When Adam gets home (5:30), make him play something handheld, so I can curl up around him for half an hour, since I won't be seeing him for 24 hours.
-Get up, get dressed, and head to the lab via the grocery store to buy some Mt. Dew
-Work at the lab (7:00 pm - 9:00am). Discover that I had done the wrong thing, and that I barely have time to do the right thing before lab meeting. Play Offspring really fucking loud in the lab in response. Get really frustrated when step one of doing the right thing goes wrong time after time, meaning I won't have my pretty picture for my boss for lab meeting.
-Lab meeting. (9:00-10:00) I have something, which is better than nothing. But not what I wanted to have.
-Come to school. Print notes out for open-note exam. Notes I was trying to study overnight, but instead ran around trying to deal with having done the wrong thing.
-Go to exam. Discover that exam is also open-computer. I didn't need to print out shit. Those poor trees!
-Sit exam. Successfully answer my eight of twelve questions (we only had to answer eight) as well as an extra credit question. Even if I'm the next to last one who turned in my test.
-Lunch
-Prepare to call my mom for her birthday, but discover that somehow my phone has died. I swear it was full at four in the morning . . . I suppose I then proceeded to use it for its internet at work (I don't have internet at work other than my phone). Fuck.
-Plug phone in to charge and pull up the board.
-Now.

Things I need to do today:
-Wait an hour until my next class begins.
-Fail to fall asleep in class. It's a seminar, and so it's staying awake through some guest lecture about some random topic. I usually like them, but today I'm not enthused.
-Drive home safely in San Diego rush hour traffic
-Stay awake long enough to call my mom for her birthday. My mom who usually talks longer than my phone battery can take, even from full.
-Reconsider posting this account of my day, because I'l probably get screamed at over it.
