For the Love of Nutella

Occasionally, I have mornings when I wake up and the first thing that's on my mind is "How soon will I be able to take a nap?"  Then, in my tired brain, I quickly go through the projected events of the day to tentatively schedule a naptime.  Today was one of those mornings.  As I'm planning my day at 6am, however, I realize that nap time will be at 5PM.  That's 11 hours after waking up!  I am a little discouraged, but quickly jump out of bed, because now I have a goal-Get to sleep.  All day at work, I submerge myself in my students' dilemmas and my lessons so that the day goes by quicker and that my nap time comes sooner.  At 4:30PM, I am heading home, and at 5, already in a peaceful slumber.

After some careful thought, I determined the reason for dreaded mornings such as these.  Apparently it's lack of sleep, but it's also my daily schedule!  I realized that I had not ever had a morning like this during the summer!  Why??Because during the summer, work is only a faint memory.  And my daily schedule is so---well, actually there is no schedule. And I can sleep for as long as I would like.

I'm sitting here typing this, and guess what time it is? 1:30AM. And guess why I'm not sleeping yet? BECAUSE I TOOK A 4 HOUR NAP.  So what do I have to look forward to tomorrow morning? 

Well, considering the current time, it's not looking very good...
