HAS YOUR REMEDY
Madame, I’m having sleeping issues. I
Dear Madame, I’m in love with this girl

and she knows it too. She feels for me
minutes late to class yesterday, and I
but doesn’t feel quite the same. This
completely missed my 8:30 class the day
back and forth has been going on for
before that! I just can’t wake up! What
quite some time. Should I forget all of
can I do?
this and move forward?
Madame was never an expert on 8:30s. She recalls a time during her second semester of sophomore year when she took a Wednesday 8:30-12:10 class in the Fort. It was brutal. Sitting behind someone tall was necessary to snooze away. What was worse about it? It was a Shakespeare class. Eventually she was able to create a system that worked for her waking capabilities. It is only unfortunate that this came after that semester, because she ended with a “C” in the class. Here is what you do. Prioritize. Everyone needs eight hours of sleep. Sure this pretty much never happens. But you have to try your best. No matter how much sleep you end up with, set at least four alarms. Madame sets hers based on how much time she needs to get ready in the morning. Lets say you need an hour. So understandably you would set your alarm an hour before you have to step out the door, but actually this is wrong. Since you are like Madame and run a half hour behind on a lot of times, you should set the first alarm for an hour and a half before you step out the door. The proceeding alarms should be set in fifteen minute increments. It will be the most annoying system, but you will be so happy when you have time to dress well and have five minutes to spare for the start of your day.
No, you should not forget about her. Since she knows that you love her and doesn’t do a thing about it, she obviously loves you too. Why don’t you fawn over her some more, as she does nothing? Stop it, just forget her. It isn’t worth it and you probably make her feel slightly uncomfortable because she knows she doesn’t have the same feelings for you. She just doesn’t know how to say it without hurting you. Madame is being the harshest she can be so she can shake the cloudy bullshit out of your head. Life is too short to waste it on people who don’t care about us. The answer is yes, forget it all, and move on.
