Snow falls on my head

I have somehow in the past 20 years managed to repeat the mistake of thinking I can "snooze" my alarm clock for "another ten minutes." This morning I again repeated this mistake, as I am sure I will do until the day alarm clocks are no longer used. The second time I was aware of my alarm was a little over an hour after I first heard it chirping, and I realized I was drastically late. So I had one of those mornings where you run like a maniac trying to figure out how to brush your teeth and put on socks at the same time.

I ran to my computer to check which bus to take since I had missed the early morning express bus. When I looked it up I realized the bus I had to catch was coming in three minutes, so I continued my rush, ran out of the door, and sprinted 4 blocks, arriving just as the bus pulled up. I then realized I forgot my backpack. "Oh well."

Well, when I got to school it turned out my morning class had been cancelled, and that I received an email notifying me of this right around the time of my four block sprint. So now I'm glad I overslept, but not glad that I essentially trained for a marathon this morning.

Also, my right ear feels like it's growing a tumor.

Last night i scheduled the touch-up appointment for my ribcage tattoo, and I feel like I must be crazy to want to get even more tattooing done on my ribs. It seems I follow the same pattern with the snooze button, where I will continuously be making the same mistakes.

I am excited for Thanksgiving. Last Saturday I spent about 8 hours making a slow roasted pork dish, Puerco Pibil, and then I was too tired to eat very much of it. So Thanksgiving is my chance to really kick my stomach into overdrive. Shortly after Thanksgiving I will be turning 21 and finishing this semester. I think this is probably an unfortunate coincidence since I imagine I will feel compelled to drink a lot more than study. But that's the way the world turns.

Um... yeah. Also, eat your asparagus.
