the effects of sleep deprivation

So last night in an effort to study for my History test, I decided to pull an all nighter... pretty much I stayed up all night just studying history!! It was pretty sweet I'm not going to lie, but when I got to my test... half way through I just hit a wall, and every chance to finish my essay ended in my eyes rolling into the back of my head. So I got up, went to the bathroom, and splashed myself with cold water. I got back to the test taking area and as I walked in, the Professor said, "we got 5 more minutes until time is up" I was like FUCK MY LIFE!! I had finish the rest of this long essay in 5 minutes. Soon, adrenaline filled my veins and I began writing the most epic Essay on how the French Revolution was more pivotal in European histroy than the Industrial Revolution. The essay was perfect!! I handed in the most amazing work of scholastic inginuity right on time... I then went back to my room and crashed like it was my job. One of my plebes had to come wake up in time for formation... thank you 4/c Hill!! Missing formations are bad and normally end up in you getting chewed out.

So the rest of my day went pretty well, after school was over, I went to go see the Russian Ambassador speak. The guy mumbled and spoke in the most monoton voice ever imaginable. Considering my current state of sleep deprivation, trying to stay awake during his speech was the most difficult task I've ever had to face. I'm pretty sure the guy next to me hit me like 5 or 6 times. Though I picked up a few things on how Russia's policies were more concerned on Russia itself, rather than the surrounding nations. Then came the quesetions... this one girl, she had be like 19... she went up to the microphone and asked... "so, um, when I was in Russia, the gas prices were like really expensive and in America gas prices are like not really expensive, um, can you comment on that?" The Ambassador just looked at her and said, its called capitalism. Though he elaborated a little bit, but I think it more out of pity rather than necessity. Poor girl... The last guy to ask a question was a midshipman and he asked the Ambassador to compare a recent conflict in Russia to the Iraqi war. The Ambassador pretty much just said that Russian conflict was just and the Iraqi war was the biggest mistake ever made by the United States Government. Keep in mind, there are about 20 other future military officers in this room, along with some others who probably lived during the red scare. So needless to say, some people were pretty ticked... but that was the last question, so that was pretty much everyone's last impression of him. Even though I slept through part of his speech, I still went up to shake the dude's hand. He was wearing this baggy pin stripe suit and smelled like my grandfather. He had to be covered in grandpa cologne. Just had to! I wonder if they actually sell it... oh its called old spice... hahaha... just kidding Jake (I don't think you smell like old man)... btw jake is my roommate, he's probably reading this right now and is like... julio... WTF?! anyway, going to see the ambassador was a really cool experience.

So on the way back, I tried to get an hour of sleep, but since I think that I was so tired, that I couldn't sleep! yes its possible! it just happened!! like honestly WTF??!?!?! I was so pissed... maybe it was just the bus ride back, but I rode in buses every week when I was in High School, and use to fall asleep like a baby. What's changed? oh well, what I do know is that I have a Russian test tomorrow on furniture and colors, so like we say in Russia... Доброе вечером!!
