Confessions of a Night Owl(bear)

Greetings from the midle of a sleep-deprived week.

Its been so long I had nearly forgotten how much it sucks to stay up past 2:00A night after night working on school projects. But now I remember. Ah yes, just as crappy as it always was.

This week's project of note is a presentation, due tomorrow afternoon, that I'll then be giving on Thursday. It's been "almost done" all day, but I can't quite seem to take it those last few steps to "completely done".

The morbidly funny thing? I volunteered. I literally asked for this misery. Seeing as how I'm an incoming first-year, I'm not required to present any research at the department's Seminar Day. But I thought it would be fun.

Times ike this, I'm reminded that I really need to learn when to keep my mouth shut. Sure, it looks impressive that I'm presenting, but it's also giving me a migriane that was totally unnecessary.

But for now, the presentation can wait. Unfortunately, it will still be waiting for me in the morning, so I suppose that's as good an excuse as any to get some sleep now, right...?
