Ok, here’s a repost of my crazy 34.5hr record of going without sleep….the consequences of PT work and school combined (direct quotes from gmail spam, cuz too lazy to rewrite up a more coherent story):
we4eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee reliving my jet lag days X_x
goign on………31.5hr NONSTOP W/O SLEEP
I’M AN ANIMAL RAWRRRR
why did my retarded project (extended by 2 days), my japanese final essay topic/outline, AND my reliability engineering assn have to be due on the same day?!!??!?!
but SOMEHOW i maanged to finish ALL 3 THINGS, and rush home, change into uniform and show up at work 5min early WOOOOOT
tho i kinda just barged into my japanese class, handed in prev essay correction + final essay outline, tried to mumble some excuse bout why i couldn’t stick around but was outta breath rushing there and so tired that when i tried to talk nothing really came out
先生：都合が悪い？
俺：はい、そうです。
失礼します。 < zoom right out of a small class of 10 ppl >
______
wed…call in “sick” cuz of my project…..still tired from day b4 cuz i pulled a near-all nighter mon night too….before prof granted me no-penalty extension
nap til like…4pm ish…..start cracking tho of course dind’t really get too far
only when it got darker at like 7-8pm i started getting more serious but also when spam is in full gear
kept busting my ass, fixing bugs / testing functionality and crap
this was supposed to be a 2-man project but the only other guy i could group with ditched the course long ago but didn’t withdraw leaving me to fend for myself lucky prof isn’t an ass tho
but also had this other assn due AND had to think of japanese topic and make up some outline….
finally finished up my code as far as i could test at like 8am
BUT i had to write up a report for my stupid project (big-ass database project simulating library checkin/out system w/ admins and users, didn’t count # of lines of code but when i did print preview it was like 12 pg? or was it 17? at like size 9 font)
(it was in java using jdbc to connect to oracle database, in case anyone asks or cares)
ANYWAYS so had to start thinking up a topic bout japan, but it had to somehow tie to the short stories we read in class that i half-paid attention too…….while bs-ing up a report for my code.
after like……10-10:30? i managed to make up my outline it was pure ghettoness and worth 4% of my entire course mark, but it was only supposed to be one page long…kinda freaky if u think bout it, and also managed to piece together a ghetto-tastic project report…..
i already skipped 2 classes to do this…..BUt i can’t skip japanese, cuz of participation marks, and cuz of fact that my essay corrections and outline were also due in class…….
but yeah, needed to shower and eat and stuff so worked on final assn for bout an hr did that stuff then zoomed off to uni
jap class so far from my parking spot so decided to find a meter closer by……….but i only had 50cents in my wallet WTF that is only good for 15min on those rippoff meters HAHAHA
so i’m like great, got 5min on my watch to make to class so i had to run there, had like barely any breakfast and zero sleep and i’m totally outta shape
somehow made it to class b4 it started, prof was just chatting it up w/ ppl, then i kinda just wait a bit, then handed her my stuff and yadda yadda ditched outta there so i wouldn’t get a parking ticket
if i didn’t grab some mcds after that i probably woulda died somewhere in a car crash or maybe in a ditch somewhere
zoomed back to parking spot, handed in project report (code submitted online at home) and had like 1hr to finish my assn, leaving 1hr to go back home change into uni and zoom to BB in time…i ended up finishing at 2:30 (1/2hr past) and zoomed home in 15, changed and zoomed straight to work

weeeeeeeeeeeeee wow i just felt like lawrence after a life-changing event or some crazy long weekend he had spamming like this woowoahoahooahoahoahoahoooaaooaoaoaoa
32hr straight baby!
______________
After screwing around for a bit, and needing yet another meal or else I’d go crazy, I ended up going to Denny’s….got back home at like 2:30, crashed about 10min later. Of course my mom was like wth when i take the car and head out in the middle of the night.
Grand total….~ 34.5hr. I think this beats a couple of other records I set with trans-Pacific flights to/from Japan by several hours.
So what’s the tradeoff for such a zombie-like wake phase?
The damage caused to my internal organs and teeth.
(Note: The jolts had nothing to do w/ this zombie-fest. Those were drunk at separate times in the past, during different days where I had also had to stay up late to work on assignments…but yeah, I suppose it doesn’t reflect good habits when it comes to health.)

Do you ever suspect you’ll die an early death? I thought you only had like 2 courses this semester?!?
