Assignment 21- Angelica Malkowski

At this moment, somewhere in the universe, a girl types furiously on a laptop. She knows it is late. She knows this will be the third night in a row she hasn't gotten nearly enough sleep. She also knows she has made it through entire school weeks on insufficient sleep, has survived who knows how many days of waking up tired. She will survive this. She tells herself that she will pull through on all her tests tomorrow like she has countless days in the past. Tomorrow is no different. She reminds herself that tomorrow is a new day, one where she can go to bed early. She remembers the chocolate muffin waiting for her for breakfast tomorrow. She remembers that all that stands between her and spring break are five days of school. Then she will have a whole week to relax and draw her many responsibilities out over the course of seven days. She remembers that video Monday is tomorrow. She knows that Mr. Cain will inadvertently bring up the UK loss from earlier today. These two facts mean that the beginning of her day tomorrow will be delayed by a sizable amount of time. Then she remembers she has to make up two tests, one before school, and one during the aforementioned first hour that would otherwise be shortened by fun videos and trivial sports talk. The girl sighs and continues to type.
