Snippet #1045812

Alex had thoughts about joining the circus every time he went to get breakfast,since the amount of skill and dexterity required to heft his giant books as well as take the occasional bite of margarine and toast would have made cirque du sole blush with envy. He went through his morning rituals of brushing his teeth and smushing as much After a bit of unsuccessful scrabbling in his room for a few more pens amongst the clutter he hefted the bag on his back and left to go downstairs and do his little balancing act once again. He only ate a little, not even finishing his toast, before going to sit at the fountain. He waved to Chris and slid into place next to him. A quiet hello slipped past his lips and he pulled A history of mental diseases in the ESP proficient, he allowed the book to fall across his knees and started reading.

"And upon search into the pineal gland of Mr. Alichokov the surgeons found unusually large amounts of melatonin..." Alex grabbed a pen and uncapped with his tooth, his other hand busy holding up the massive texts he had on balanced on his knee. He scribbled something about red light and 530 nm next to the text about the pineal glad while nodding occasionally to what his friends were saying. He didn't really pay attention to either after a few moments though, the words began to blur as he nodded off before jolting himself back. He shook his head and mentally scolded himself for staying awake into the wee hours of the night,but it's not my fault that stupid blonde chick was playing Lady Gaga on an endless loop until three in the morning! That was true, it really wasn't his fault. As usual Alex was so busy talking to himself that he'd failed to notice Emery strangling Amy and only noticed Mako via the acrid smell of cigarettes that entered the air.
