Timeline of events in my screwed up life

The drama really began on Wednesday night:

Wednesday
1:00p Get to work. Do reviews for each of the thirteen people who work for me.
4:00p Kids punch in. I do the reviews for the next two hours.
6:00p Kids go home. I breath a sigh of relief. Hey, reviews are hard on the reviewer too.
7:00p I leave work.
7:30p I arrive at a classmates house for one of the most pointless meetings about a project ever. We both knew it was going to be pointless. It was a necessary formality.
8:00p I get home and feel the need to feed myself before beginning to write my paper.
2:00am I finally get to sleep. My paper sucks.

Thursday
6:00a I wake up. It's way too early in the morning. I reset my alarm clock.
7:40a I actually wake up.
8:30a I come late to class. The person I sit next to tells me she got an extension for the paper because what the professor actually wanted is way more than is on teh syllabus. I could have gotten an extension and actually slept last night.
2:00p This is the class where the paper is due. I get an extension because what I wrote is close but not quite enough.
5:00p I get back to my condo and read that they're going to come and bleed the radiators tommorrow. Oh great, now I have to clean.
9:00p I'm getting a migraine. My apartment is hot. I don't feel good. Homework is pointless.
10:00p I go to bed.
1:00a I wake up because someone is on the phone yelling in my courtyard. It's easy for me to hear since my window is open. Yes in November in Minnesota. I told you my apartment was hot.
2:00a Ok, now the guy is back banging on the doors and swearing into the phone. I don't draw my blinds or look outside (or shut my window because he'll definitely hear that). Instead I call the police. (I have made more 911 calls since moving to Minneapolis...)
Obviously now I can't sleep so I watch the episode of ER that I taped. (This episode sucks.)
3:00a I go back to sleep.

Friday
7:00a Wake up. Shower. Notice I skipped that yesterday. Clean the apartment (sort of) since I didn't do that last night. Write notes to the people who will be coming in to bleed my radiator. These are the things that are important to know about my particular unit:
1. There are hot spots in the wall that get very warm.
2. Because the wall is so freaking hot already, I don't turn my radiators on. That would be overkill.
3. The side of the radiator that needs to be bled is under my bed.
4. My bed is on those riser blocks. It will fall over if you try to move it.
5. If you turn the radiators on to bleed them, I expect they will be turned off. My apartment is hot enough already. Please see above.
8:00a Drive to school. Get caught behind garbage truck. Yup, that's the kind of day it's going to be.
8:30a Get to class. Late. Again.

The rest of my day was pretty normal. I miss sleep.
