Oddly enough I can scrape a few extra minutes if I'm a good girl.
Ideally, the rule is so I don't talk to strangers late at night, but seeing as it isn't late at night on the other side of the world where half of litnet lives, I don't suppose it would matter. Also becasue I'm a good girl.
For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

Should be kissing kids goodnight... 'Tis Friday night after all, will let them stay up for a while.
I don't really know. I suppose work, but there really isn't too much going on and it is Friday. I really just want to go home.
I should be doing my maths assignment. Only I have to draw histograms.
I'm going to try to use the computer to make them, I don't want to draw them myself.

Sleeping. It's four in the morning.

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal."

I must do my maths assignment. I've been at it all day but it is just going so slowly.
I mean, it is as easy as, but I just can't get my head around bothering with it.
I know I won't hand it in without giving all I can. I know I'll hand it in. I know I'll hand it in on time.
I'll be surprised if I get anything less than an A, and am expecting an A+.
Only I have to bother with it first.

Analyzing and meditating. Two of the most painful annoyances ever to sit on someone's brain.
On the bright side of meditating, rather than actually doing it you can be sitting there, I don't know, twiddling your thumbs or thinking out a to-do list.
I hardly every admit to having the tolerance to meditate.
I'm supposed to be doing maths. And, by this point in time, humanities, English, Italian and probably some other things I've forgotten all about. I've got time. I've got all day tomorrow. Humanities isn't until Thursday, Italian isn't until Wednesday.

Your lack of tolerance is due to your youth and energy. Over the years, your energy powerplant will go a bit depleted, and you will tolerate what you can't put up with right nowOn the bright side of meditating, rather than actually doing it you can be sitting there, I don't know, twiddling your thumbs or thinking out a to-do list.

If you say so. Like, I tried it once and got bored. I decided to listen to really loud music instead.Your lack of tolerance is due to your youth and energy. Over the years, your energy powerplant will go a bit depleted, and you will tolerate what you can't put up with right now
And what you hould be doing now, dear angel, is sleeping.

You can either try with more dedication, or let things happen at their own pace
That is very true, I have to wake up too early againAnd what you should be doing now, dear angel, is sleeping.
Studying. Instead, I am about to go to bed.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better, it's not.
Depends what it is. Falling asleep, own pace. Domintating the entire school and slowly the rest of the community, dedication!You can either try with more dedication, or let things happen at their own pace
I should be studying or something, maybe researching that serial murderer for my science assignment like I'm supposed to be doing...
