IB Student is currently trying to stay awake in what is known in the IB World as an extreme source of sleep-deprivation, a good way to cram loads of facts into one night, and also absolute torture/punishment for major procrastination. Why IB Student continues to do this to their mental and physical health is a question that, as of yet, has no sufficient answer. Despite their intense efforts to stop the cruel and vicious cycle that is procrastination-all nighting-torture, IB Student still has not broken out of the horrors of procrastination. Let that be a lesson to you all. And to them.
The night, slowly emerging as morning, has been spent reading voraciously a book for school; it is mind-numbing, this experience. As such, it is imperative that IB Student distract themselves temporarily from the task at hand in order to retain their already diminishing sanity (and mind you, it is only one of the first few weeks of school). Why this happens so, IB Student cannot explain. It is punishment, perhaps, for those summer reading assignments they have procrastinated on (why does this paragraph seem redundant?).
They look at their calendar, not the least bit surprised that the first battery of inane practise examinations they are to endure have already begun. They look at their calendar, wondering where the weekend (associated with freedom), a figment of the imagination perhaps, has gone. They stare furtively at the calendar, aghast (yet somehow, not entirely shocked), that there are three major assignments to turn in this week; this first week of school alone!
IB Student sips another taste of the caffeine cup whilst slapping themselves with cold water. The reality of what lies ahead, the coldness (endothermic reaction? is that it? or is it really warmness, thereby exothermic a reaction? am I rambling? yes? no? what is the meaning of life?) that is their academic life, slaps them with the shock that the cold water gave them.
This can only be a sign. The year has begun, and the meaning of life outside of academics slowly dissipates (evaporation?).
Buggar. It’s only the first week and yet I’m already off my rockers, as you can see.

Tell me about it. My EE draft 2 is due next week.
