optimistic all nighter

I'm sitting in a comfy chair. Kayla's sitting at the desk -- she likes the structure of a desk. She's sitting on my feet. I like the comfort of burrowed feet.

I'm sipping a cold double-shot zebra and a bottle of water. Kayla's got 3 beverages in front of her.

I'm listening to Glenn Miller and Sufjan Stevens. Kayla's basking in silence. Mostly because I have her headphones. But also because she needs to concentrate. ;) What a doll.

You know what just perks you up for an all-nighter? Caffeine,

a late-night walk,

a finals scream, a finals bomb explosion, and the finish line in sight.

Van Gogh painted this. I'm not in love with the painting, but I just like its tone.
