A great battle ensued, my alarm calling forth all its power to awaken me, yet I rallied my allies to counter its attacks. I kept it at bay for an hour or more, I can hardly remember since in the heat of the battle time simply flies by. My only weapon was my hands which attacked its weak spot: Snooze. It started to look bleak for me, I knew my end was coming soon. It continued its onslaught, driving me to the end--it was then I knew I failed. I walked solemnly toward my alarm, ready for the conditions of my defeat, yet I was struck by utter brilliance, reaching in before it knew better I hit the switch, slaying the beast!

Being still weary from the battle, I summoned my companion, this laptop, forth. As it listened to my calls, as all good servants do, I was whisked away to the world called EoFF. There a messaged awaited me, the urgency was unbearable thus with the haste of hare I replied. I still felt worn from my earlier battle, so I retired to the shower, seeking solace in its warm embrace.

There I did not find my peace for thoughts drove through my mind, working away at my projects yet to come. Ideas of self, no-self, emptiness, condition, dependent origination became a whirlwind in my mind, as I prepared mentally for this evenings task: writing a 2000 word essay on karma, rebirth and how it would be analyzed by the famous Buddhist philosopher, Nagarjuna.

With that quest completed, I promptly exited the bathroom, equipping myself with my armour for the fierce day ahead. Now I stand here, waiting, knowing that my executioners is to come when I leave this safe house. My executioner shall come in a lovely form of a kind lady, knowing far and wide as my Japanese professor. Her weapon of choice, one of the most deadly in her vast arsenal: a quiz on Japanese adjectives. Will I be able to defend myself from such a terrible fate or shall I again succumb to the doom that has been fated? Stay tune to find out.
