Cobaka is now wearing an E-collar, aka "The Cone of Shame."

But I did enjoy some extra time getting some things done in the library before another class.

I can't nap, both because it's nearly impossible for me to fall asleep, and also once I am asleep, I am asleep for good--transitioning back to a wakeful state is a painful experience.

I have learned that my body has a very strong affiliation with Newton's first law of motion. (It also has a strong affiliation with Newton's third law of motion, in that for every ounce of energy I put into trying to wake myself up, my body exerts an ounce of energy falling back asleep, and every ounce of energy I spend falling asleep, my body exerts an equal ounce of energy staying awake. Very frustrating sometimes...)
