Okay so in my Child Development class, we've been given an assignment that has to be done entirely over to weekend. But only like four people can do this at a time because of the limited supply.

Well, guess whose volunteered at tribute to do this project and get it over with on the first possible weekend?

If you guessed me, then you shall be correct.

Now, you many be wondering, "Sky, what the fuck are you even talking about?"

Well, for my project, I have to take home a fake baby and take care of it for the entire weekend.

Yes, you heard me correctly. I will be a "parent" for an entire weekend from Friday at 5 PM EST to Monday 6 AM EST. And, as an added bonus, all of the babies are programmed to either be "hard" or "harder." Well, you know me and my lack of luck... I'm going to get the hardest baby possible.

Oh, and guess what? They're programmed to cry at least once in the middle of the night. Some of them cry SEVERAL times in the middle of the night. And guess who happens to be a heavy sleeper and used to sleep through her sister crying in the middle of the night?

That's right. This girl.

So I'm going to sleep deprive myself so that I can respond to the damn thing. You only get five minutes to figure out why it's crying. If you don't get it within that time frame, it stops. And if you do it too many times, it shuts off. And if it shuts off, I have to do an alternative assignment.

Honestly, I'm not worried about shutting it off. All I've got to do is make sure I've got head support down AT ALL TIMES (That thing will scream bloody murder if you don't support the head. And, like the crying thing, if you let that happen too many times, it'll shut off. Also, it cries longer every time you fail to support the head or you shake it.) So literally the only thing I'm worried about is sleeping through it crying. Because my parents will wake up and get pissed at me. But, my teacher said I can get a "babysitter" to "babysit" for a while but I can't have one the entire weekend. The only time I think I would let either my mom (most likely her) or my step-dad "babysit" it is when I'd have to take a shower. I refuse to go in public with that thing because who the hell walks around with a fake baby when they're not a little kid? I'm also not going to let anyone do anything with it unless I absolutely have to because I want to get a good grade.

So yep. That's the summary of my Child Development assignment.

I'm hoping to get first pick and get a boy so that I can name it my all-time favorite boy name, Jackson. Yes, it has to be spelled that way otherwise I hate it. But if I HAVE to have a girl, which I don't entirely want but whatever, her name shall be my all-time favorite girl name, Willow. Also, I guess I'm the only parent of it because my teacher gave us a birth certificate and it only lists one parent. But, for the sake of logic, Mark shall be the father of my child.

...Oh, this is going to be such an interesting weekend, that's for sure.
