Let me just replay my morning for you really fast.
6:00- The alarm on my phone goes off and I try to turn off my clock radio by my bed for five minutes. Four hours earlier I went to bed and decided I would get up early and study. Bad idea number one: making deals about studying with yourself when your half asleep. And its Geography. I re-set my phones alarm for 6:30 and passed back out.
7:10- I wake up and realize that I didn't get up at 6:30 to study and now I'm ten minutes short in my time to get ready. Bad idea number two: re-setting your alarm when you should have gotten up in the first place.
7:50- Leave early so I can get myself the best breakfast in the world: Two egg and cheese croissant sandwiches and some milk. I get in my car and realize I don't have any gas. Im like, its cool, I can make it to school. I hop in the car and make a break for Burger King. For the first time in my life I get there to early and its still closed. Fuck. So, off to Cheney. And just so yo know, I'm anal about gas. I don't let my low fuel light come on so when I say I have no gas I usually have a quarter tank left. But, not today. I start to cross the Maple Street Bride and my low fuel light comes on. After my brief heart attack I decided to keep going till Cheney where I can get gas and stop at Burger King. I make it into Cheney and get some gas. Problem solved.
8:30- I head to the BK to have a delicious treat and what do you know, they aren't open. I know what your thinking, Burger King is totally open before 8:30, and, its true, they are, but, not in Cheney. So, now, after thinking about my wonderful breakfast all the way out to Cheney (this was so I wouldn't think about not having any gas) I'm denied it and I drive off to class hungry.
8:40- I walk into an empty class room sit down and start to study. No one comes in. I study some more. Finally some kids come in and ask me what time the final is. I have it written down, its 9:00-11:00, then, some kid comes in and says that it was changed to 10:00 instead. WWWWWHHHHAAAAATTTT? So, now, I have an hour to study for my final. Yippy. I made a few test run plans up in my head that included Burger King and going to sleep in the Library but I decide that I should probably just study so I don't fail out of college.
10:30-I finished my final in record time because I rule with rocks so I go to sell my books back. I have a Math book, Film Book and then two Geography books. The Film and Geography books are brand spanking new and my Math book looks 10 years old. The guy scans my film book and I'm to receive $33.00. Very nice. Along comes the heinous Math book and it grabs $40.00. I'm like, sweet, croissants for everyone! I hand over my set of Geography books, Cd included, and they tell me I can get $6.00 back. Der, WHAT? SIX DOLLARS? Those books were $98.00 new. And I know they are using the same editions next year. Geography 101 is a huge class, don't fuck around and say $6.00. But they did so I pocketed my $73.00 and made a run for it with my $6.00 worth of books and decided to try my book selling luck somewhere else. Bitches. So, in short, I took my final, I'm done with Fall Quarter 2004 and all I want to do is sleep. Unreasonable? I think not.

I do wish, however, that I was going to see Modest Mouse, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, Keane, The Shins and Snow Patrol tonight at Key Arena. If you live in the Seattle area and are not attending, well, there is seriously something wrong with you.

Ready. Set. Winter Break.
