or when sleep takes a pass.

last night before school. the eve of august 1st, when all could go wrong.

i made sure to get into bed and prepared for good sleep at 10:45, knowing that in eight hours, i would need to wake up for a day no one wanted to wake up for.

a third escapes me with my dimly lit room and a pencil in my hand.

the fourth bings sleep, though dissatisfactory.
