Tillykke 

Burn the candle at both ends... at once.

Go the homework. Here's the last hour of fear-oh-too-vuh.

One of my favorite stories I remember reading as a child was one by A.A. Milne. It tells about how Piglet was running with a great red balloon to give to his ever-gloomy, thistle-eating friend, Eeyore. Piglet ran too fast and fell, popping the balloon. He was heartbroken because his gift was ruined. But sniffling a bit, he gave it to Eeyore anyways. And here we see perhaps the one time that Eeyore smiles. He accepted the gift because it was given in the spirit of friendship and represented the best he had to offer, despite his fallability. Then Piglet and, for once, Eeyore were happy. It is this kind of friendship that is most valuable and worth having. The kind of friend I want to both have and be.
