the clock's ticking

sitting here at my desk in my spongebob panties drinking coffee out of my beloved UH mug.
it's a little cold in here. the temperature in the dorms is never quite right.
it looks so beautiful outside. i'm contemplating calling in sick to work. don't know what to do otherwise though. still contemplating anyway.
excited about wearing the plain white t's tshirt for the first time today.
13 minutes till class. i have to go, it's my worst class. though going never seems to help. i still suck at the exams.
i pick up the phone and for the first time ever, call in without some "sick" excuse. i just say i'm overwhelmed and need a day off. my boss says that's fine, she'll see me next week.
roommate's gone, suitemates are either gone or sleeping. it's quiet.
i breathe in.
ahhhh, quiet.
8 minutes till class.
take another sip of coffee, still not dressed.
finally taking real classes next semester: organic chem, human physiology, immunology. can't skip those either. but i won't want to. they are my future, what i've been waiting for.
you wait and see. i'm going to do it. i don't care how long it takes.
3 minutes till class.
pull some pants over spongebob and drain the rest of my coffee.
i'm ready.
