Dinner consisted of a cheeseburger.

I felt lightheaded.

Instead of walking on the sidewalk, I stepped through the gravel. I looked at the ground while walking away, oblivious to what was in front of me. Sounds took a linear path through the right ear and out the left.

Can you OD on caffeine?

That red bull made my head feel ten times larger. My brain felt saturated with B-12 vitamins, doses of guarine ,and, of course, many milligrams of caffeine. It was my nerves that were screaming at me, but their voices were muffled-- they were drowning. During the test that was 5 minutes behind me, I could remember that Tryposonoma sp. caused African Sleeping Sickness, that it was a parasitic Kinetoplastid, a member of the Euglenozoan clade. Yet, my brain let out a big, fat fart when it came to the simplest question-- the mercy question, the one you're supposed to get.

I sit in my room and I watch a sitcom. I smile. It's now 1 hour and 45 minutes behind me, back there with the caffeine high, the cheeseburger with ketchup and mayonnaise, and the African Sleeping Sickness.

I'm almost home with you.
