I do sweet bugger all day long. That's code for "nothing". No really, I am a champion procrastinator. I'm sure you already know that though. It seems to be a theme within these blogs. Me whining instead of actually doing anything to resolve the issue. However, I come to you on this fine morning not to complain, but to validate. Because I have officially come to terms with the fact that I'm always going to be the type of person who works best at the last minute, who works best in the dark.
My whole world is awake during the day. The people that I interact with face-to-face are up and about, the Sun is shining (on those precious days when the rain doth not tumble), and there is much to experience. Why would I spend those bright hours doing work? I can do work just as well when the rest of the world is asleep, and then I can do it without missing out on the reading of The Philosopher's Stone happening in the quad.
I can handle being a little sleep deprived. Yes, I know it's rude to doze off in class. Yes, I know that it's not particularly fun to feel like your eyes are too big for your head. But it's manageable. And in return for losing some sleep, I get to spend time with the people around me, get grades that won't warrant my father slapping me across the face, listen to a bit of slam poetry, and maybe even do something spontaneous.
So as I see it, while sleep would feel good, it wouldn't feel as good as it does to be awake.
I can't picture your father slapping you. Is this a likelihood?
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky you have the luxury of choosing wether you're going to stay up all night.
Nah, he's more of the type to bore holes in your head with his eyes or tell you off.
DeleteYou don't get a choice, I presume?
I'd hire you to write the story of my life, but it seems that you do that already.
ReplyDeleteNight is a great time to do work. There is somthing about thoes hours between 1 and 3 in the morning before where everything seems surreal and huge amounts of progress are made.
We make a great team, you and me. Only, if we were a team, literally nothing would get done.
DeleteBecause you're at that point where making up extremely original ideas is easy because you have no sense of social norms.
I'm actualy trying like hell to stop procrastonating and make progress. It aint easy.
DeleteNight also happens to have that real sence of "oh shit, better get this done or i'll fail, won't get into an awsome university, and never find a princess and live hapily ever after with 7 dwarves.
OH MY WORD. You totally look like Prince Charming.
