Snappy

What do you get when you combine sleep deprivation, isolation, and mounting obligations? An inability to come up with clever one-line responses to your own questions.

I’ve had to stay up until midnight for three nights now doing University assignments. I know that there must be people who have it a lot rougher than that. The thing is, I know that it’s leaving me a little bit overwhelmed.

I’ve ended up getting snappy. The things that have always slightly annoyed me have ended up absolutely infuriating me.

HOW DARE PEOPLE LEAVE THEIR CUPS ON THE BENCH!

I know that’s an overreaction.

You know what has been really bothering me though? People taking ages to make decisions. Why can’t they just make it snappy! (Look a double meaning, clever right?) Why do we take up so much time saying things in so many words, when we could just say it succinctly? You could just say these things in one sentence, hypothetical person who hasn't stopped talking for 5 minutes. Stop taking up all my time (would you look at that irony).

This would annoy me at the best of times. Recently, I’ve felt like a cat that has just had enough of being a pet. Don't you dare touch me, I want space!

It doesn’t help that everyone else is a little bit on edge as well. We’re on the precipice of barbarous disagreements. What we all really need is a chance to kick back and have some fun from time to time.
