Being wildly irresponsible is extremely satisfying when it is done rarely. Last night after a brutal two hour midterm in structural biochemistry that lasted until 9pm, my geeky science friends and I somewhat unintentionally decided to party the night away. I find it funny... many of the people here who I would consider my very best friends are "academic friends," and I've come to discover in the past few months that science people speak a language that is incomprehensible to most others. It is satisfying to interact with those who are fluent on a frequent basis and still maintain other friendships. So we all stayed up far too late frolicking at the house and making general fools of ourselves, having dance parties in the living room and completely forgetting about the reality of classes, grad school applications, research projects, etc. It was amazing. Then I continued with my trend of recklessness and wrote Analise a note saying I wouldn't be coming to morning swim practice. I indulged in sleeping until a tardy 7:45am, I took a shower in my house, I had coffee and I didn't have to shove contact lenses into my half-opened eyes and jump my still-warm self into a swimming pool. Then I went to school and work and meetings with professors compeltely awake and coherent.
So maybe wild irresponsibility is good for my mental health. I should indulge in completely forgetting about the million things I've scheduled myself to do on a more frequent basis. Unfortunately, that may have to wait for some homework, grad school application work and research work. At least reality is pretty great too.
