oh no she didn't

Sleep has become increasingly valuable to me since I have been at college. Everyday thoughts of when the next possible time is that I can take a nap consume my thoughts.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have class from 8:00 to 9:15am then I have a 45 minute break until my next class. I found a bathroom in the building where my next class is that has a little lounge with a couch- a perfect place to use my 45 minute break to take a nice little cat nap. So for the last month or so this has become a regular part of my day. I rely on this part of my day. It is precious to me.

The week before last I couldn't take a nap in there because of conflicting school assignments. So on Tuesday of last week I was more that ready to resume my usual routine. I entered the bathroom with heavy anticipation for a much needed and desired nap only to find that my couch was already occupied. Some tramp (excuse my language) stole my couch and dared to nap on it during my 45 minute break- forcing me to walk to my next class and park it on the cold concrete floor and wait for my professor to show up.

Thursday rolls around and I once again race to my place of napping only to once again discover the tramp laying there in all of her smug restfulness. So I go to my next class where I notice a girl who looks an awful lot like the tramp flirting with a very good looking boy in my class. A boy that I have planned on talking to a few times but never quite built up the courage to do so. Tramp. Come this past Tuesday, I walked as briskly as I ever have to reclaim my couch- a new found determination burning within. She may be able to get away with stealing my fantasy man, but a girl doesn't take away my precious sleep and get away with it! On my way to the bathroom where the couch resides I passed a staircase where I saw a girl- THE girl- the TRAMP climbing up. So naturally I increased my speed and rushed through the bathroom doors to reclaim my prize! I quickly settled in and closed my eyes, listening for the satisfying sound of her disappointment. I hear sound of her entering, observing the situation, then leaving! Victory is mine!

Hopefully I can secure my spot tomorrow too and the rest of the forthcoming Tuesdays and Thursdays. She gets the boy, I get the couch. I don't think I'm being unfair.

So readers, stay tuned if you want to find out the results of tomorrow and etc. That's all for now!
