Insomnia: On Exam and Oven Suicides
Wednesday, March 4, 2009 The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to.
~F. Scott Fitzgerald
***
Went to bed at 2:30am.
Still awake at 4am.
Exam in less than 8hrs.
Hating insomnia right now.
Will undeniably flunk Romanticism and Victorian Literature classes.
Might eventually lead to academic probation again.
Failing life is not an option.
Must resist failure at all cost.
Remembered failure is twice as expensive.
Need to stop thinking.
Brain going into overload and will shut down soon.
Having thoughts about Virginia Woolf and Sylvia Plath.
Plath’s head-inside-oven definitely wins over Woolf’s drowning suicide.
Oven = baking = cookies.
Sudden urge to start baking now.
Then remembered exam is in few hours.
Brain finally tired from too much contemplation.
Do not want to be like Plath.
Sir Sleep now comes.
Mistress Alarm arrives in T-3 hrs.
Now I go sleep.
That is all.
Adieu.
