Why do I keep doing this?
So I'm up early again today (alarm went off at 6), because I have a research proposal draft due for my psych lab by 2 pm, and CLEARLY not only have I not started writing it yet, but I haven't even done the necessary research. Figures. I've been up almost this early for basically the past week now, and although it *should* suck, I must say... it hasn't been half bad. Freshman year I used to get up at 7 to get ready for 9 o'clock classes--but that's just cuz I was a stupid freshman and didn't know any better. But second semester freshman year I went through this INSANE phase where I'd be in bed by midnite and up by 7 every morning--even when I didn't have class for hours. I liked it. The morning is such a kick ass time if you really take advantage of it and understand how to use it productively. It was so quiet that time of day in the dorms, nobody was up, I had the cafeteria to myself for early breakfast, and then the study room to myself to read the early hours away. It was quite wonderful. Then, first semester sophomore year, I went through a phase where I'd get a relatively decent amount of sleep at nite (going to bed VERY late and waking up relatively late, for example: going to bed at 4 and waking up at 10), but I'd always supplement it with a 3-hour nap in the early afternoon. Yes, I became positively FAMOUS for my daily 3-hour afternoon naps. WHY, you may ask, am I so bipolar when it comes to my sleeping/waking habits? Because variety is the fucking spice of life man!!! THIS is one of the reasons I'm pretty damn sure I'm not going to be one of those people who works with the same company doing the same thing (excluding promotions, hopefully... ) my entire life. My dad's done that (for the most part). And my mom. But it's different for our generation. I've heard numbers as eyebrow-raising as that we're supposed to change jobs up to seven times, and change actual career paths around four times. WOW. Scary, huh? But also reassurring. It means I'm not the only one who has no idea what the crap I wanna do with my life. Anyhow... considering I have class from 11:30 - 1, and this thing's due at 2, and it's already after 7:30, I should probably start researching... thank GOD it's just a draft!!!
