Study Party... Yah Right

Man, I want to hang out with friends, but I have a bunch of school today. How can I fix this problem? I know! I'll have a study party, that way we can work together. Yah right. Like that's going to happen. The only reason for study parties is to make it sound educational on those days you really need to give your brain a chance to cool down. Don't want to overheat the engine.
   My engine, however, isn't like normal engines. When it was made, somebody forgot to install the cooling system. I need to take extra brakes. This was never a problem for me since I have lived my whole life as a homeschooler. I was allowed to take as many brakes as I wanted. Then college started. It was like selling my car to an over-aged, sour grandma who doesn't understand that running the air-conditioning while driving 150 in the middle of the Gobi Desert just doesn't work. I learned to live with my head on fire, for a while, but then came the dreadful study party.
  My birthday is coming up. It's two days before a big Spanish test. I do not want to have to study on my birthday... fair enough, right? But fairness comes at a cheating price. I have to study like a dog these next couple days to make up for it. "I'll just focus on school and nothing else." I declared in my room. Then Joey had a study party.
   Our friend came over to hang, and as we all know, absolutely no school got done... for them. They sat on the couch playing video games while I sat on my computer listening to my Spanish audio track. I became bitter. My brain protested their fun and enjoyment by telling me, "Well at least I can say that my cat has handsome shoes!". It was hopeless. After an hour of trying my hardest I had to leave... the website and play video games.
   I'd like to say that completely failing at video games was fulfilling enough to make up for the studying I didn't get done, but it wasn't. Guess I'll just wing it. What's the worst that could happen-o? HA! Got you there. I said happen. This is gonna be a cinch. Later-o's
