12/05/2001 Entry: "dilemma of the day"

yesterday i overslept. missed my class. missed my quiz. the quiz i was up all night studying for. the quiz i spent all night studying for that caused me to oversleep and not hear the alarm clock. there's irony in there somewhere. well. i spent a good 5 minutes throwing my alarm clock around and cursing myself. then went back to sleep...

i vegetated that whole day. did absolutely nothing. feeling small and useless. lazy and fat. wait. i am lazy and fat. well, that solves that. today. i woke up in time. school went as usual. as usual as school can get. tien, dave, and myself played tennis today during my break between classes. tennis, sport of men, women, children, and genetically enhanced chimpanzees. greatest sport there is. no one to steal the spot light from you. no need for a team. all the glory is yours. all the agony is yours. you, your racquet, a ball, and your opponent. nothing between you and your goal but a net and an expanse of air. gotta love it. dave has a hard time seeing the ball, but when he hits it, he hits the shit out of it. tien has diesel shots, too. i got sweaty and stinky. feeling like the sweaty stinky kid in class. the one you never want to sit next to cuz when he walks by you have to hold your breath. so i sat in the back of my class. now i'm at home eating stale froot loops. the dilemma of the day. should i continue to eat the stale loops and allow it to bruise my gums, or allow it to get soggy knowing i hate soggy cereal. i hate soggy foods. makes you feel old and have no need for teeth. well. i will continue to ponder. input would be appreciated. by the way, do you pour the milk first, then the cereal? or the reverse? ah, the complications of this world...
