All-Nighters.
Way to exhaust yourself. I just spent two nights in a row without sleeping (except for occasional naps here and there, which in total was about 2 hours.. out of 48, I think it's quite something!).
The funny thing is, except for my body which was nearly not responding anymore, my mind was still quite awake... maybe thanks to/because of the cold. I probably could've stayed awake for a couple more hours, but my reason was telling me to go crash home. Which I did. I slept from 8 a.m to 3 p.m, which totals 7 hours, which is almost the double of what I get on a regular basis.... The funny thing is, after all that sleep, I felt so exhausted (like, really exhausted!) that I couldn't bring myself to study again. My sleep pattern is probably all messed up now... Meh. It's now 6pm. At 7pm, I promise I'll start studying again, and studying efficiently.
Today was also S' exam. I wonder how she did, considering that she slept almost as little as I did. Maybe even worse? since she joined me at the library around 4 a.m. and stayed there even after I left around 7:30. No news, good news? Or maybe she totally crashed down after her exam and decided to sleep, which totally makes sense.
I used to be able to pull (seriously) 4 all nighters in a row in my early years at McGill. With a nap of an hour in between, of course. And I was pretty efficient. Nowadays, I can't even pull 2 of them properly... I guess I am getting old eh. Wonder what it's gonna be like when I'm 25. The more I think about the age, the more I realize that... I'm not so old after all. I mean, I was a year ahead of the others when I was in High school cuz I had skipped a grade when I was a kid... Then I lost a year in finishing my cegep + going to spain... Then I lost one more year changing programs at McGill and going to Korea... So I always felt somewhat guilty for "losing years". But thinking about it now, being 22 and graduating university at that age (just before my 23rd birthday) is really nothing to be ashamed of. If I get into that French institute and do my Master's for 2 years, I'll finish at age 24-25. I'll even be able to spare one more year going to Japan to learn Japanese or something... And then, starting to work at 26, if things go well? Nothing to be embarrassed about, really. No, the more I think about it, the more I realize there are people so much worse off than me in terms of age... I have friends who got out of the system and then started their bachelor's at 27 when I was starting mine at 19... and they will be done after me. So what's the whole big deal about "finishing your studies early" and "working while you are young"... I think on the contrary, I'm glad I could enjoy my late teen years and early 20's... Even if sometimes I am desperate to be done with University. Haha.
Hmm. I am starting to ramble again. Let's go back to work.
