I can't pull an all nighter. I tried. I really did. I had to write a fifteen page paper and do some research for it too. But at around 5am I decided to take a two hour power nap. I would snooze for two hours, let dances of Northern Irish youth dance in my head (that's what my paper was on), wake up feeling great at 7am, crank out fifteen pages by 5pm and that that would be that. So I collapsed onto my bed, woke up at 7am as planned, hit the snooze because it was still dark out (thanks a lot, winter), and trudged downstairs, where I promptly fell asleep on the couch for THREE HOURS.
I felt really lame because I thought this was finally my night to be a hardcore college student and stay up all night like the boss I am. But I'm clearly an old person who needs sleep.
I wrote the paper in about seven hours. It ended up being 11 pages instead of 15. But that's okay, I hope so.
Tonight is my last night before winter break. I'm taking myself to see Black Swan, because no one is here anymore. Then I might delete some of the weird Pandora stations I made during finals, because I get cravings for music I don't normally listen to when I'm writing finals. This semester, it was 80s power ballads. My modmate was blasting them while we pounded out our last papers. It was kind of great. So monumental. Eventually I made a Pandora station based on "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams and "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" came on while I was writing my last few paragraphs on Northern Ireland. It was weird and made too much sense for my life.
