I had just gotten home from a four to ten shift at Sonic and I had at least three hours of AP Physics and AP English homework. I was a zombie in school the next day after... Read more »

The second I woke up I ran down the stairs, excited to rip off another link off of my orange and black paper chain, signifying that we were one day closer to the 31st.
