Finding time to Sleep

So I was definitely falling asleep during class today; not to say that what my professor was talking about was boring me, I was just tired. I probably run myself to ragid, but that's what college is about right? Making the most of every second of every day? Well that might be exagerating a little. Anyway, back to today. So I was sitting in class and I kept nodding off during lecture. I am very glad that my professor didn't catch me because I know she would have been disappointed in my lack of attention. So as soon as she got to a stopping point, I bolted out of class in search of a place to "lay my head." I had to take a break from my search for shut-eye when I came across some friends throwing around a football in the quad; it's kind of hard not to be distracted with the ball flying towards you, so I caught it and tossed it back. I slowly made my way over to the tree near the flagpole to determine whether or not it would be adequate for resting but unfortuneately there were too many people running around and I was afraid I would be stepped on or annoyed here so I moved on. I finally decided that the couches in Bywaters would be the ideal resting place so I moved in and found an empty three-seater, just long enough to stretch out on without having to take on a position that would lead to the cramping of my legs or neck. I had just planned to rest my eyes, so I laid there, listening to the conversation around me, relishing the time not spent working or studying. I was very relaxed...so relaxed in fact that my eyes slowly closed and the conversations faded away. I suddenly opened my eyes to find that everyone that had been sitting around me earlier had dissapeared and someone else was sitting near me. Naturally I assumed that I had been sleeping for hours and that I was quite late for work. Fortuneately, I was not late which was a relief, so I slowly gathered my things and headed for the office. There is just nothing like a mid-afternoon nap to make you feel ready for the rest of the day.

Relish every moment. You can sleep when you join the working world.

PS large amounts of coffee and mt dew help as well.
