in which I pull my first-ever all-nighter
Well, that was lots of fun. I had two papers due at 3 p.m. today and didn’t start either until, like, midnight last night. Because I’d put off starting them so long, mostly, but also because I saw Fleet Foxes on Tuesday night and then Olafur Arnalds last night, and they were worth it, but wow, all-nighters suck. Less here than at home, I think, because I didn’t have to worry about waking anyone up every time I went to the kitchen for more tea or whatever, but my gosh…I’m such a zombie right now, you have no idea. (Well, maybe you do. It’s not much different from a red-eye flight, except possibly more annoying.) And my nose keeps running. Apparently not sleeping does that…? My nose always gets plugged on airplanes, which I thought had something to do with the air, but may it’s the lack of sleep in, you know, a normal prone position.
What really sucks is that, um, I only finished one of those essays. And then I had maybe an hour to squeeze the other in (yes, apparently it took me more than, like, 8 hours to write a single essay. It was kind of involved, okay, and required research, and also I kept distracting myself. As one does.), and…didn’t. So I guess I’ll just have to take marks off for it being late, botherbotherbother. It would also help if I’d even finished that one by now. I know. Hours later. When I really want to be in bed. It’s just so much easier to do other stuff because writing about Gulliver’s Travels is really not that interesting…
After skipping yesterday’s blog because of the all-nighter and the boring that was this one, I promise I’ll go back to more normal (i.e. interesting) topics tomorrow.
