I tapped my pen on my leg, awaiting the end of the lecture. An 8 o' clock start and a broken coffee machine were clearly doing me no justice. I was so close to falling asleep, the only thing keeping me awake was the assurance from the clock that I was almost finished. Just half an hour left...

I hid behind my laptop screen, listening to my professor's boring voice, repeating the meaning of courtesy to an annoying boy in the front for what must've been the 3rd time.
