"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

So far today has been (To quote Judd Nelson) a "Banner day".

To preface I got to go home this weekend I got to see my sister, dad, granny, friends, and Toby Mac and Family Force 5 in concert. The one thing I didn't see much of was the insides of my eyelids. I was so happy to be home I couldn't sleep, by my count it was something like 6 hours in 2 days. I tried to sleep in the car on the ride home, I succeeded but it was a restless uncomfortable sleep (no leg room). Plus, when I got back last night I was severely lacking in sleep and my friends wanted to watch 24 (which I can't refuse) so that plus a general level of restlessness kept me up until 2:30am or earlier.

All that to say that when I awoke this morning to find that I was late for my english class (a class that: I enjoy and had a paper due in, I was pissed. My alarm having been turned off by my mistake. I ran to the Library to print off my paper (yet another reason I was pissed about being late). As I walked down the sidewalk to class I felt awful because I know that my teacher is new and that she feels disrespected alot and me being late wouldn't help matters. I got to the door and didn't even think to check to see if it was locked, and rapped on the door. She opened it and said, "It was unlocked wasn't it,"

"I didn't want to interrupt," I grunted without thinking.

Then it happened, someone (they are lucky I don't know who) said "Didn't want to interrupt? What do you call knocking on the door?" And at that I was gone.

"Don't even start with me today just dont even start!" I yelled at the general assembly of the class. As I regained composure I managed to say, "My roommate turned off my alarm this, morning, sorry," and sat down, ashamed at being a person of circumstance.

I apologized to Ms. Kiser after class, but I still felt like crap. I meant to go to lectureships, but it wasn't in me. I ate some breakfast, and came back to the room, praying that my roommate wasn't in there (I didn't think I was mentally ready for it).

"The Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five is the song of the day today because it says what I'm thinking: "Don't push me cause I'm close to the edge I'm trying not to lose my head"

****Edit****

Well I'm doing alot better now. It really is amazing how much good, a workout can do you. I'm still kind of antsy (Restless), but I'm not sure why.
