Aditi Dugar Sleep7:45 A.M. She shuffles into her first class. “What’s up?” “Tired…” Every block, everyday, the answer is the same. The day drags on, as she longs for that one element that no one gets enough of: Sleep. “How much?” “Maybe 5 hours?” Eight hours would be heaven. 3:00 P.M. She goes home and stares at her comfy bed. But instead goes to her desk and begins the never ending Homework. Eat. Go out. Come home. 9:30 P.M. She stares at the clock Talks to some friends online still hoping that she will finish by midnight. 11:59 P.M. VICTORY! She goes online to sign off but someone reminds her that she has forgotten The Essay. Sigh. 2:00 A.M. She’s done. For Real. She gets into bed and falls asleep immediately. 6:00 A.M. The never-ending cycle begins again. [BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS, CLASS OF 2008 EDITION] |
