So I can't relax enough to get to sleep. I probably should've taken a Melatonin about 6 hours ago. That shit will knock me out no matter how tense I am, and unlike Ambien, it doesn't cause goofiness or hallucinations. I can't decide if that's good or bad.
5-hour Energy drinks work, but they are some of the nastiest liquids I have ever consumed. Blaaargh. Almost half-done, though. Had a few near-breakdowns, but I think I'm on the right track now. It's mostly just getting words on paper at this point. Should be finished well before the deadline, though, and then I can just hitch a ride to campus (my car is in the shop), drop it off, and come home, take a Darvocet, and sleep for a day or two before I have to start on the Chaucer paper that's due Monday. Whee.
After this class, I fully intend to never again read Giovanni's Room, Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, any Bond novel and especially anything by Jack Kerouac, who has joined Hemingway, Ayn Rand and Joseph Conrad on my list of authors I have an active interest in hating. Yeah.
