This is the second week in a row that my brain has been complete mush. It keeps telling me that it's Thanksgiving, giving me inaccurate information to prove this "fact":

1. It forgets to remind me to eat before class.

Are you out of bed? Yes. Did you review for your test? Yes. Did you eat breakfast, brunch, or lunch? Too late for that now... I'm already in the middle of my 11am.

2. It convinces me that my classroom is on the wrong floor or even the wrong building.

Look there's the 2! You're done walking upstairs. No, I'm not. My class in on the third floor.

Why am I about to walk into Scharbauer? My class is in Reed.

3. It tells me to ignore assigned reading.

I'm full. I can't process any more information. It'll only take like five or ten minutes... No! Okay, lemme just pray that no one will ask me any questions then.

4. It never learned the date, and it temporarily forgot the year.

What's the date again? Oh, okay, November 7, 2014... 2014???

5. It forgets where to place things.

Throw your socks in the trash can. No, it goes in the hamper. Wash your face with shampoo. No, that's for hair. Do I really want to burn my own eyes?

6. It convinces me that shower time is when the sun is still high in the sky.

You have to shower, and it's better now then later!

7. It convinces me that I can go to bed at 7:00pm.

You're tired, and you have to wake up early (not really) tomorrow!

Conclusion: My brain is overworked, exhausted, lethargic, I could go on and on with pessimistic adjectives and past-tense verbs. Everyone else is looking forward to eating a turkey on Thanksgiving Day, while I'm looking forward to not having to use any of my brain cells for a few days.

Well, Thanksgiving, is another thing to look forward to, too! But my brain is just gonna have to work one more week.
