She goes away for a week of frivolity with her neurotic boyfriend in Virginia Beach. Leaves the house in my care. Of course this happens to be the one week I was sickly and fatigued. Couldn't be arsed to go to school the first half of the week, missed the second half as well thanks to my mom not being able to explain the overly intricate workings of her fucking atomic alarm clock.

Naturally I fell behind in school, which has only exacerbated my already impoverished performance in class...
