Late Nighter's. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

The Might · 01-06-2008, 10:37 PM

Well I'm definately not going to lose this opportunity to post here on the thread.
ToDay

is the first schoolday and I'm going to have to leave to school in about an hour, but since I've up so late the past few days it's kind of hard to go to bed. And I thought that the few hours would anyway only make me more tired in the morning. Plus, I thought that if I don't sleep now it will be easier for me to go to bed earlier this evening. Yeah, quite a vampire-like lifestyle...

Lol, know what you mean Lhunardawen. I mean, I'm only in the 12th grade here and we are already laughing at those that have Biology as an advanced class cause all they have to do all the time is learn.
Fortunately, I was wise enough to avoid that.

And, also I seem to be using the Downs to keep me awake right now, as I also don't drink coffee...

I'm actually disappointed that Lommy hasn't come up with this great strategy as well, would have been fun to see some other online before school.

Hmm, I'm a Biology major as well, and I posted after Lhunardawen, so she couldn't have been referring to me. Well, what is it with us, anyhow?

The Might · 01-06-2008, 11:28 PM

Well off to school now...see ya in about 12 hours

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-06-2008, 11:28 PM

While I'd normally never count 12:14am as late night (it starts getting 'late' around two...), I'm back at school, starting a new term in the morning. As a matter of some freak-outedness, I have to be back here (library) in seven hours and thirty-seven minutes. And then I have a handful of classes, and then I have several meetings, and then I'm expected in the studio for several hours (to work), and then maybe I'll have time to fix my computer before getting kicking on homework which won't be due 'til Wednesday but which I won't have time to work on Tuesday... And I kind of want to post on Tapestry...

I was doing work, really... Not school work, natch, since nothing's assigned 'til tomorrow at earliest, but a different job, a lot cooler. And what better quick distraction than sneaking onto the 'Downs to look around?

And what is a better way to make me feel better about knowing I'm going to start a semester running on five hours sleep tops than knowing that there are other people floating around the 'Downs with me?

Sorry guys, I'm not a science student. Double major in studio art and English. Means some semesters after classes and work I'm reading a novel a day, writing a paper about it, and then heading off for an all-nighter to get a painting done for next-day crit. No taking all the cred for whacked out schedules. I can't count the number of times I've skipped one class to do work for another one, or the number of books I've fallen asleep on top of. Or under... Note to anybody doing homework: the more horizontal you are, the less likely you are to retain what you read. Yeah...

Good for you.

But hey, learning IS fun! In moderate amounts, that is...

We aren't wise enough to avoid Biology, methinks.

Laurinquë · 01-25-2008, 02:24 AM

Oh yes, I am usually here very late at night, when I should be in bed if I knew what was good for me, I always regret it the next day, but night is when I finally wake up! The thing about the Barrow-Downs is that it's always "oh I'll read ONE more thred, and then I'll go to bed." As predicted the "one" thread turns into 16 and I am up untill 3:00 in the morning. Ha. But also the little post time thing on mine is a couple hours off, I don't know why, I mean I set it for my time zone, so if it looks like I posted it at 2:00 am I probably posted it at 12:00am.

By bad, it's only one hour off.

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 01-27-2008, 08:03 PM

Well, Lauri you do seem pretty energetic at school... and when I stayed up till 2 on the Downs you fell asleep!

The Might · 01-06-2009, 10:15 PM

Well, I know I'm resurrecting a thread here, but I felt it was time... especially now.

It's 5.15 AM in Germany and in one hour I have to prepare for school already.

Since I have been staying up so late the entire vacations I thought that trying my best to get to sleep today wouldn't be very useful. So instead I just stay up all night and then later today I can go early to bed and resume the school life timetable.

Anyway, hope some more late nighters out there post again, I actually enjoyed this thread.

I just read this post of yours from a year ago:

Gotta say, you're regular!

I posted in this thread a ways back; had no idea it was so so long ago that I waxed eloquently to no one in particular. I guess I didn't use paragraphs back then...

I still stay up late, but not as late as I used to, and I wake up early now, so that if I stay up it be at the expense of sleep, not daylight. One does not truly become a day-person, who was once a night-person. *gollum, gollum*

The Might · 01-06-2009, 10:46 PM

Wow, and it's exactly a year ago! Talk about precision...
Then again last year it was a Monday, so this year I have the advantage of only having to go through three days on my first week.
