6 o'clock in the morning
Slammed door. Bright light. A crying voice bursting into my sleeping ears. "Tess, why did he do that? He just left. We had sex and then he left, just a minute ago. He didn't want to stay. Why did he do that? I don't understand. What did I do wrong?"
If you ever wake up from a two-hours sleep like this and think that your day might be off to a bad start, you're wrong. It's not the day that will be bad, it's the whole week.
1 o'oclock in the afternoon
I really have to wake up and start working on my report. The deadline was on Friday and 2 days later I still have zero pages written so far. 30 pages by tonight. I should be able to manage it. O is coming today to our place to search for a job on the internet. Her internet is not working. It's a good thing she's coming by because she's so determined when she wants something done, that I'll probbaly feel motivated to sit in front of my computer and not move all day long until I finish the bloody report.
6 o'clock in the afternoon
I was right. We spent the whole day in front of our computers, working. I have 10 pages so far and a terrible pain in the neck. I only took short five minutes' breaks to smoke a cigarette each half hour or so. Now that my report is finally starting to have a certain frame and content I begin to think about going out tonight. I could just go out for an hour or two and come back by 11. Anyway I can't stand being in front of the computer anymore. I can't concentrate and I'm on the verge of giving up completely. I really don't care about this report, the degree and all the stupid people involved in the programme I'm doing this year.
11 o'clock in the evening
I haven't gone out. I decided against it when I saw that my 10 pages from 6 o'clock had only become 12 by 9. I really have to send it tomorrow. I've already missed the Friday deadline.
2 o'clok in the morning
My head will soon explode. Or my neck will break. I took several breaks just to rest my neck but I don't thing that they had any positive effect. I have 16 pages. I just need 20 pages of content, the rest will be filled with the introduction, summary, thanks, conclusion and other useless stuff that my programme's personnel mentioned in the "How to succed your final report" guide they sent me some time ago. I think I'll take a little break and start reading a sensational novel.
4o'clock in the morning
I've been reading my sensational novel for two hours now. I think it's time for me to go to sleep. I'll finish it tomorrow-the report that is.
