Having to spend 8 hours of my life in pediatric hell last night, I am awake. And my NEO-PI-R paper is complete. With just 4 hours of sleep, I can't speak much to how good it's actually going to be, but whatever. It's done and right now that's all that matters. I am so freaking tired right now.
Having said all of that, I wonder why we do some of the things we do for the ones that mean a lot to us. Humans by nature are self serving greedy beings, and with that in mind, why do we do things for the ones we love? Is the act of doing that self serving in itself in that in the end we are helping ourselves out somehow? Is true altruism dead?
... Ok I totally don't know where I was going with this. I need sleep.
But right now I am not getting that, so I need a shower. and coffee. and a bagel. with cream cheese.
