Phase 5: Asleepyness

To those of you who don't know, the title references 21 Jump Street, which is probably still in theaters. It's sophmoric humor, but incredibly funny. Asleepyness is phase five of the drug the two protagonist buffoons are trying to find and eliminate. The other phases are not quite appropriate for this blog, so go see the film to find out what they are.
So, it's the Monday after prom, and so far there have been 9 kids in my gym class, 6 in my issues class, and 5 in my English class. I don't blame them for ditching. It's looking more and more attractive with each tick of the clock, frankly. It's not that I don't care about school, just the opposite, actually. But I am too tired to function. After getting no sleep on Saturday night and just a few measly hours last night, I not in a good state for learning. Things I am in the perfect state for include (but are not limited to) falling, napping, power-napping, straight-up sleeping, sprawling, lying down, and drinking water/caffinated soda (but never energy drinks: the taste and heart palpitations are icky).
Until today, I had thought senior ditch day was silly. Why couldn't kids go to school? Did they just not care? Now, I realize that people are exhausted, and to something from class at this point would be miraculous. But I didn't want to take the 3% grade hit after all my hard work these last four years.So here I am and here I'll stay, right in Phase 5, waiting for Pase 1: the giggs, when I can laugh it up with my friends and enjoy the memories that come from four years well-spent.
