The Spot

A friend of a friend drops rohypnol to sleep.
I forget why or how this came up, but I do remember it was in one of my classes. The things you learn in the five minutes before lectures begin! Apparently the young woman in question has a lot of trouble sleeping during finals season. As one who has awakened countless times in the throes of relationship/school/nightmare induced panics, I was interested to hear what the kids are doing to sleep nowadays. This solutions seems a bit extreme to me. [my best solution is to houseclean. Nothing puts me to sleep faster]. We speculated on what might happen if she got a phone call just after taking the drug. Wouldn't she be especially susceptible to telemarketing?
Be that as it may, I have noticed a correlation between sleep-inducing solutions and suggestibility. Take my last post as an example. It's ridiculous! OK, yes, I have looked into NGO work overseas. But it's not exactly on the top of my list. I would say I was definitely influenced by my fellow imbibers, centralists or Americans all. Who are, let's face it, anti-east.
And I'm not. Looking over my drunken ramblings even I get annoyed. For heaven's sake. Let us measure the pros: an early, unconditional acceptance into a school that guarantees a professional future. The promise of a comfortable lifestyle for the duration of my next degree. The proximity of landlord relatives. An upcoming graduation from a prestigious school.
The cons? None worth mentioning.
Next time I complain, slap me with a trout.
