I fell asleep in class today...

I was up really late last night reading Alexander Pope's Essay on Man, and Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal. I had an essay on the readings due in class the next day. You know, it was like reading a foreign language at first. I haven't read any intellectual English literature since high school, I've been too busy with my science mumbo jumbo. When I have free time I can promise you I don't read Alexander Pope or Jonathan Swift, I read a bunch of mindless fluff.

Anyway, I was up late last night and fell asleep in my humanities class today.


I probably looked a little something like this:

Except there was drool running out the corner of my mouth. Yep. Drool. There was drool on my shirt when I woke up. Who knows how many people saw me! My class is an honors class-it's really small so I KNOW the teacher did. He probably wondered who the loser was with the drool coming out of her mouth and puddling on her shirt.

I wish I could say that this was the first and ONLY time this has every happened, but it's not.

How is a person supposed to stay awake when the lights are dim, the teacher talks really soft and there isn't a smidgen of caffeine to be found on campus? Seriously people, I need some ideas.
