Lately I've found myself staying up in the 'wee hours of the morning.' If you check some posts (and do the conversation) I'm sure it'll work out to about 1:30-2:00 in my time zone. Mostly because it's been rather smooth sailing only having half work days up until the start of the New Year...and I'm usually away at nights doing something.

So, when I get back and don't feel like sleeping yet I'll come and check out the downs well into the 'morning.'

You are a lucky man, Boromir88, university has shown a nasty habit of springing lots of rather important things at the most inappropriate of times, namely, exams and coursework on the last day of the semester no less!!

Though to all the "Late Nighter's" I myself will be "chickening out", as I have the exam tomorrow an early night is called for, let the little grey cells rest.

And with that I leave, with a rather fun new avatar!

Well, it's now 2:33 so I think I qualify for this.

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I actually did something constructive while up at this time.

It's only 10:30 now for me, but I think I've gotten as late as 11:00. That's nothing compared to 2 or 3, though. How can you college students stand it? I think I'd die if I stayed up till then and got up the next morning for classes.

Ah, just wait until you're in college, Folwren.

While I've always been quite a late-nighter during the weekends and summer, during school nights in high school, I always was in bed no later than midnight. The difficult thing I've discovered about going to bed in college is that the entire campus is loud and active until around 2ish. I have a tendency not to go to bed until everyone else does, which is a problem since one of my suitemates doesn't sleep until 7am, if at all. The other issue is that the work load in college is so much heavier and I frequently pull all-nighters (something I suggest avoiding). Of course, one large difference from high school is that I don't have a parent nagging at me to go to bed (and I have no self-disipline).

With my computer next to my bed, I find it hard to resist checking the BD before I sleep, and when I'm on the computer, time just passes so quickly. Right now, it's already 3:45. One thing I do notice about the Downs at night is how empty it is. Right now, there is only one other member online aside from me...

Folwren, I have very few early lectures so it's not too bad for me.
