Wait, I Did This Last Week...

I stayed up really late last week.

 

It was all about getting an essay rough draft completed on time. Irony: rough draft wasn't due until Tuesday... this got announced on Monday. Figures.

 

Tis Monday again... Monday morning, whatnot, but I digress (I do that often, don't I?) I'm up again. Irony is, this time I have to complete a final draft that is due in a couple of hours, so I can't throw in some half-thought out junk and get away with it. So far, with this essay, I have come to hate MLA, academic styles, present tense to be used with literature, quotations from grossly horrible books, and English in general. If all goes well, the only English critiquing I'll ever have to handle after this class will come from my story review topics.

 

Anyway, I have to keep awake for a couple more hours. I spent Sunday cleaning up my room, as well as sneaking down to watch the Half Time show in the Cafe lounge, and now I have to stay away until Monday afternoon. Last week, I tried for a midday nap and woke up around five... thus missing my other classes after English. So I can't make that same mistake today... unless I fall asleep in class, then missing it might've been a better option. I dunno, I think I ramble on when I write blog entries really late at night.

 

Anyway, if any of you know a good quote from Nabokov's Lolita that discuses the protagonist's methods of concealing his scandal... let me know, I could probably use it. :annoyed2:

 

:music: + :wakeup2: <-- Yeah right. I hate coffee. :dunce:

Aw, coffee is awesome for staying awake...I've already had mine this morning. :D

 

And for naps, definitely set an alarm...when I know I have an alarm set, I sleep really well(even if it's just for 15 minutes!) and then I get up when I need to...not worrying about oversleeping. I'd take a ten minute nap between lunch and one of my classes second semester freshman year...wow, that nap felt awesome.

 

And yes, MLA is horrible. Thank goodness I never have to use it again. You've probably said it before, but what's your major again?

My only problem with my alarm clock is that I sleep through it sometimes. :lookaround: I've gotten pretty good at turning it off in my sleep.

 

I'm looking at going into some form of engineering.

Naps are out to get you. You must never succumb to them. :P

 

To add more irony (it's probably not irony, but whatever); I'm in pretty much the same position as you; English coursework to be done.

 

:k::n:

Ahh, I've had that problem with my alarm too...one of the things I've done is to just switch its position in my room. So I never know exactly where it is, when I wake up...:P

 

And engineering is pretty sweet...I'm current majoring in Industrial and systems engineering. :D
