Oh dear mother of god

I made a huge mistake today. I went to a political meeting in my town. Not only did I have no clue about most of the things they talked about, I'm a new member of the party and also very new in this town, thus many issues that were brought up were brand new to me. But to add to the misery, the meeting lasted for almost 3,5 hours! That's an insanely long time to have to endure when you've just worked all day. And I swear to god, out of the 30 or so people that were there, 20 of them will be dead by the time I have my first child. I was by far the youngest person in the room, a few people seemed to be around 40, but the majority really was over 70.

As many people my age, my wallet rarely has cash in it, and today was no exception. This caused me a bit of embarrassment when it was time for coffee break and everyone was required to pay 50 kronor for their coffee and cake. I just didn't have any money to pay with, so I just sat where I was, texted some people and pretended to be very focused on what I was doing. Luckily only one lady commented on my not eating cake and drinking coffee, and said that there was tea too, if I didn't drink coffee. So I lied and said that I had just had coffee with a friend and really couldn't have any more. I generally avoid telling lies, but little white lies to save your dignity are alright, aren't they?

Now I just got home and I'm pretty much ready to hit the sack. And tomorrow I will wake up yet again, not feeling rested because I went to bed too late. Then again, even when I do get my eight hours of sleep, I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning. God, whoever invented the alarm should be severely punished!
