what happens when you are on 5 hours of sleep everyday

差點把自己活活氣死

It's been a long day. I had class until 7pm and didn't get home until about
7:30.
I had lunch @ noon.

I thought to myself. Well, I had some stirred fried broccoli and beef
leftover from the weekend in a bowl in the fridge. I wondered how much of
it was left, so I went to check it. The bowl was filled to the top. "Oh
perfect," I thought to myself. All I have to do is make some rice in the
rice cooker, when it's ready, I can just heat up the broccoli and beef in
the microwave, and voila, DINNER!

So I threw the rice in the rice cooker, then went on to wash dishes from the
last three days. (yes, it was three days. I am a bachelor, and I live
alone, and it wasn't that much)

Done with the dishes, heat up the food in the microwave. Oh, the rice isn't
quite ready yet. Pretty hungry, so I fished out a piece of beef and chucked
it in my mouth. Oh, oh. Why is there a bit of white stuff under the
broccoli? A pair of chopsticks and two seconds of fumbling led to a
discovery. I must have had half a bowl of leftover rice along with the
broccoli. Damn. Don't have enough food. Oh shit.

Recovery strategy: make some soup, have it with bread, and salad. Sia
survives!

This is what happens when you attend an one year MBA. Your are in class 8
hours a day on less than 6 hours of sleep. Your brain starts to delete
things out involuntarily. Always have a business continuity plan, I mean,
meal continuity plan.

Sia-
Definately a nice way to keep up with your life now that you are far away...certainly it feels like i know more now that you are 4000 Km's away than when you were only 4 hrs close! On top of that you don't answer your freakin' voicemails on Skype dude! What do you have it for? Show? Whatever ... ;)
Hey Man ... what's the title of this post all about anyways? You know i take that crap seriously, so do me a favor and don't ever use that sentence unless you are really desperate and need help. Sounds instead like your coping mechanisms were pretty intact :)... Don't forget man: you made it through the Ecole with me for a semester, you can make it through not enough food, sleep depravation (i know what i am talking about here, it will get some getting used to it) and certainly a messy apartment! Oh, BTW, check your email for the Italy Trip. Keep up the good work on this Blog...who knows you might inspire me to start my own ... Nahhh.... foggedabout'it yours is more entertaining!
