‘Twas the night before a final, and I was kinda freaking out, kinda wanting to go binge-watch Homeland.
You see, Carrie Mathison gets something about finals. She gets the attitude I have towards the profs that push me to this point:
If only I could call them. If only.

12:00PM: Do I have any bananas left?
12:02PM: I do not.
12:05PM: [search through friends list and see who would bring me a banana if I paid them in smiles and mediocre hugs]
12:05PM: I am also out of cookie butter and this is really, really tragic for everyone (read: me, myself, and I).

1:58PM: I finished Homeland. I feel like, really productive.
2:05PM: I’m really hungry and I should probably go eat.

3:01PM: it is raining and I regret this decision. seriously.
3:45PM: I’m at Wreck Beach staring into the ocean.

6:20PM: I am back where I started and I need you all to know that this is not what I expected, I mean who are all these people, who do they think they are just paying tuition and using the library. NOT OKAY.
—
7:15PM: Oh, I didn’t see you there. Why, yes, I’ve been studying and not researching Lindsay Lohan’s most recent antics. (she’s recording with her sister Ali and Duran Duran.)
7:17PM: Based on these comments, people are not super pleased with Duran Duran for this move.
7:25PM: You are really interrupting me, and I was studying so nicely.
7:35PM: OH MY GAWSH. A FWRIEND? I DIDN’T KNOW I HAD ANY LEFT.
7:40PM: and then I was all NO WAY.
7:45PM: and then she was all YES WAY.
7:50PM: basically I wish we were brushing each other’s hair at this point. That would be comforting before finals.

10:03PM: I want the record to show that some guy literally just asked me where the best place to poop was in Irving.
10:03PM and-a-half: is this a social experiment? am I being punk’d? Where is 2005 Ashton Kutcher?
10:04PM: he says he can’t make it to the fourth floor.
10:04PM and-a-half: he’s just going to “go for it.”
10:05PM: concluding statement to the conversation from him: “finals, man.”
