i know i can get childish every once in a while–it’s who i am, but what happened today completely left me stunned. it goes down in the books as one of those “what in the wooooooorld?!” moments.

i barely didn’t get any sleep last night. i woke up around 10AM yesterday–not too shabby. i went to my afternoon class and bookstudy right after. i didn’t get home til about 9:30PM.  i originally planned to sleep at 9PM only to wake up at midnight to study for my horrid fluid mechanics exam at 8AM. yeah, that definitely did not happen. i tried sleeping at 10:20 only to find myself restlessly tossing and turning and finally getting up at 11:15.  yeah, so study marathon til 6:30AM.

to stay up all night, which isn’t even a difficult thing for me to do anymore, i make myself a cup of coffee and take 1000 mg of tylenol. it’s routine.

so it’s 6 AM and i make myself another cup of coffee and took another dose of tylenol to last me the morning/day.  i make it to school, take the test (i don’t believe i bombed it; at least passing), met someone new (actually, i finally got his name. hahaha. he’s not so bad looking either buahahaha), made it thru class, hung out w/ jerard for a while, and thanks to a long lab report that i procrastinated on, i didn’t get the chance to sleep thru my first 3 hour break for the day because i was in the computer lab all three hours. mind you that it’s about 2 PM and i’m at my lab class. i realize that i’m getting a headache so i was getting ready to pop another two acetaminophens into my mouth, but at the same time i was taking notes. here’s where it all goes down.

i guess i found one pill in my backpack and put it down on my desk then i get back to writing. and thanks to having to draw pipes that connect to these tanks i had to draw, i had to uncap my mechanical pencil to use the eraser. the cap was probably around the same size of a pill. yeah… you know where it’s going, but i’ll continue.  so i continue to scavenge thru my backpack for another pill and successfully do and eventually get back to note taking. i take out my water bottle and absent-mindedly take the two pills, or what i thought to be pills, into my hands, shove 'em into my mouth, drink water, and swallow. it wasn’t until about 45 seconds later i looked down at my desk and found another pill on my desk and my mechanical pencil missing its cap.

at that moment, i felt stupid. i swallowed my pencil’s cap. aren't two year olds the only ones supposed to do that?

it’s pretty bad that i swallowed it, but now i’m also missing a cap to my mechanical pencil yeah, my life should be a sit-com.
