"I feel like I just died, so that's appropriate."

"What happened?"

"Well, last night I was studying for finals and forgot to shower. I woke up but the shower faucet busted because I may have tried to use it for pleasure once, so I washed my hair in the sink but didn't have time to wash my body. Then I got to school and forgot to eat, so a friend loaned me money for soda. I got a sugar crash in the middle of the test and fell asleep. I think I failed it."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"You live a hard life, Mia."
