Overdosing in the Name of Education
I pulled a Heath Ledger last night.
In an effort to fall asleep early I took Ambien and melatonin. Which isn’t the best idea in the first place, but washing it down with three glasses of red wine is probably straight up dangerous.
Don’t worry I survived. This blog is not being written posthumously.
I had to wake up at 4:00 am this morning in order to be at the school in time to watch a morning radio shift. For some people this may not be a problem, but I am not a morning person. Most days I can’t even make it to work by 9:00 am.
The things I do for school. Seriously.
Last night while lying in bed waiting for sleep, or death, I entertained myself by making a list of people I could haunt if my pharmaceutical cocktail killed me.
1) The person responsible for calling the Influenza A virus subtype H1N1 the swine flu. Asshole.
2) RLO.
I only came up with two people before falling asleep, so it’s a damn good thing I survived. Death sounds really boring without hundreds of people to haunt.

I challenge you to prove there is a 4 AM. I have heard talk of it but have yet to actually see it.
Thanks for not dying. Life would be boring w/out your daily musings.
Spitting in the face of danger, are we?
I have a hard time making it to work by 9:30, which is my goal arrival time. We technically open at 8:30, but luckily my coworkers are forgiving of my lack of morningability. How will I survive law school?
My SIL is from japan and she asked my brother why they gave it such a cute name. Swan flu. When my brother told her it was SWINE, she didn’t know what that was. I love that girl
I am so glad that you did not die. Phew!
Ha, I’m the antithesis of a morning person myself, but still subject my co-workers to my raging sleepy monster every morning at 7.
Glad you did not asphixiate on vomit in your sleep.
Don’t think that being dead will get you out of cheese fries. But good try!
Wait. You’re getting cheese fries without me? Traitor. You are dead to me.
-.- don’t be so risky please. You make my maternal instincts squirm in their seats.
I take an Ambien and Melatonin every night with a swig of Nyquil. Seriously.
Mad props for getting up at 4. I’m pretty sure I would fail that assignment.
I went for uppers in college, mostly in the form of Diet Mountain Dew. During my last week, I made a tower of my 35 empty cans on a table in the computer lab. I finally fell asleep under the table on day three. Many photos were taken, I later learned.
I hated college. I’d rather jump off a bridge than go back.
