Herbal Stimulants + Coffee = Brain Asleep, Body Awake

I figure by around 2 PM my brain will go to sleep and my body will keep running around, due to the massive amounts of ginseng, ginkgo, eyebright, Drano and Chao knows what else I have ingested this morning trying to get my motor started.

Started. Revving. And by this afternoon, the driver will nod off and the nitro will fire. The results of today are totally unguessable; I'm expecting lawsuits, myself. :)

I cannot possibly afford to miss my classes today, yet my car is playing this evil-Bond-villain game with me where it starts, and I rev it a little, and then when I shift into drive and tap the gas, it dies.

I have taken to beating on the steering wheel, but what more can one human do?

My professor for the morning class has been kind enough to email me the take-home test and explain today's curricula -- mostly just overview of relational database stuff -- so I won't be laggin' behind next week.

'Curricula'? Isn't curriculum a singular?
I have a crazy plan to dump a container of "drygas", which as far as I can remember is just wood alcohol, into the half-full gas tank, hoping that somehow that will spur the beast into true action and not these limping half-starts.


curricula is plural

Do you have several courses with this professor or have you missed a few classes? If not he was probably just being a pretentious bore.

He didn't say it. I typed it, then second-guessed myself immediately after.

I'm not yet at an expensive enough college to have pretentious, boring professors. Wait a few years, though. ;)
