College Comedy

Yesterday, I had one of the most pressured times in my life: I did about five minutes of stand-up comedy at Midwestern Baptist College! THAT'S pressure!!! It was either make all my new friends think I'm really good at this and funny or they look at me like they wish they had no idea who I was. I tried out a new piece of material and it seemed to go pretty well.

I was kind of worried about the whole thing though because I had only gotten a grand total of like three hours sleep the night before. The problem was that a storm had knocked out our power at 1:50 AM. I was depending on my iPod alarm to wake me up, but when I had to unplug everything, I found myself doing the dumbest thing ever. I decided that the only thing that would get me up on time would be to take my iPod itself, set the alarm on that thing, then try to go to sleep with earbuds in my head............that doesn't work. I was conscious that if I rolled over, the buds would come out. When one is lying in bed trying not to roll over, one doesn't fall asleep very easily. Too bad I couldn't have slept on a psycho stretcher (I would have, but mine was getting repaired). Anyway, after all that, my alarm clock switched to battery power and went off on schedule. I had to sing "O, How I Love Jesus" all morning to keep the right spirit. Good thing it went off, though, because my iPod's clock was about an hour behind. I would've woke up about the time we had to leave.
"What's for breakfast?" "A cracker, grab a tie and get in the car!" Thankfully, the day still went well.
