11:00 am-You wake up and wonder what day or more realistically what month it is.
11:30 am- Eventually get out of the bed
11:40 am- Check emails and feel the urgent need to read about the current political situation in Latin America.
11:50 am -Stare at the mirror real hard and try to figure out why you are staring at the mirror so hard.
12:00pm-Make a desperate attempt to leave home by 12:30
12:30pm- Still trying desperately to leave at 12:30
12:40pm- You eventually leave
1:05 pm - Reach the class panting and gasping and make a silent resolution to work out more.
1:10 pm- Decide to pay attention to what the professor is teaching. After all you are here seek knowledge.
1:30pm- Hopelessly try to at least catch some key words and link them together to make a comprehensible sentence
1:50pm -You find that you have no control over your eyelids which are closing rapidly.
2:00pm - You find yourself waking up from a trance and become aware of the fact that you had completely disconnected from the real world for the past 10 minutes.
2:15 pm- You feel a sudden need to pay attention once more, when a fellow student asks a question to the professor. Also, you decide that the fellow student is good at sucking up to the professors.
2:30 pm- The professor looks at you while explaining some complicated (at least you guess it is complicated) theory and you give this look, which is a perfect blend of interest and confusion. You also feel that you would have probably been better off being a struggling actor rather than being a struggling grad student.
2:40 pm- The super natural force of sleep once again takes over your senses.
2:45 pm-You stare really hard at your papers so that the professor does not realize that you are actually asleep.
2:50 pm- You suddenly feel reinvigorated and alive, when you notice that there are only 10 minutes left for the lecture to get over.
2:55 pm-You feel a sudden surge of guilt for not paying attention in the class and promise yourself to be better prepared for the class next week.
2:59 pm- you pack your bag and smile gleefully
3:00 pm-You are already 50 meters away from the class.
Next week.....
11:00am- You wake up without any idea about the day or month...
