Sleepy headed me

There are these times when you feel like its time for you to take a really long vacation.. the longest vacation I feel is when you go into a deeep deeep sleep and never really get up.. some people call it a "coma" that could some day possibly get reduced to a "full stop". But its true that there have been many such instances when all I want myself to do is to go into some sorta coma. That almost- eternal sleep where you dont have anything to worry about or anyone to fear?? Its would be sooo relaxing, wouldnt it be? Guess i should try it someday.. And one reason I am sooo lazy to wake up in the mornings is also coz of this same feeling.. this fear of what the day would be like.. As soon as my sub conscious mind gets woken up (most of the time, by force, by my room mate) it just dreads waking up and pleads to me over and over again that i should put it back to sleep. Its coz the first thought that comes to mind every morning is as to whether my slime molds ( what im currently working on) has managed to aggregate to its multi cellular stage or not. And I begin to wish it would have aggregated when i get to the lab that day.. finally i start dreaming of it to the extent that i almost believe that it has really got aggregated. And all my raised up hopes get shattered when my room mate tries her best to bring me back to my senses. Soon it dawns on me that the chances of it having aggregated is very very less, and then I start dreaming of my boss.. I start dreaming of all the sort of questions that i would have to face.. and of all those sentences that I would somehow have to mix and match so as to frame a convincing answer to his question.. and then i see his lifted eyebrows and his quizzical look as he stares into my eyes.. Now THAT is more than enough to have a rush of adrenaline through my spine, and I'm up! How I used to wish then that I never saw that initially-sweet dream of my aggregating slime molds.. ugh..

On the morning of my exam day, for one, I would have slept only two hours back and so I'd be damn sleepy. But I've just got to get up on my toes and start learning the other half of my portions.. I can see myself opening my book, and reading through it.. Fortunately, everything seems to be entering my little head pretty fast and I feel like I will even have enough time to revise my portions! I am managing to understand even those parts of the book that had taken me all eternity to figure out.. May be God is giving me His last-minute-blessings... and I am awed by the speed at which I am turning the pages of my book! Well, atleast today, Jayanti ma'am will know what a bright student I really am..! What could ever get better?! There are only two more pages to go and I can remember perfectly everything that I have read! WoW! Me grew brains overnight!! Vaa-la! And then I begin to sense a shake.. Earthquake?? I always wanted an earthquake on my exam day, but please God, not TODAY!! I have already learnt everything perfectly! Please stop the earthquake!! Its getting worse!! Stop it Stop it!! Please not todaay!!! NOT TODAY!!!
And then I hear my mom's voice shouting right through my ear; "Wake up Ananyaaaaa!!!" (name changed, for fear of embarassment.)
As I walked that day blank- headed to the exam hall, how I wish the earthquake was for real...
