The Crack of Dawn

Ok, so I have just managed to crawl from beneath the overwhelming tower of coursework that I have been set lately. All coursework, all deadlines met, yay me :) and I was thinking about the way I completed these courseworks. I think every piece of coursework this semester has been a night before, and in all but 1 of the courseworks (think there were 5 or 6 in total), I had to pull an all-nighter to finish. The thing is it isn’t because I ran out of time, I genuinely work better at night and if you can do it in 1 night then why not the one you HAVE to do it. In secondary school you were always under the advice that you shouldn’t leave it to the last minute. But it works fine for me :)

Anyway, I’m so used to skipping sleep for a night that I’m beginning to wonder why we let our sleep patterns be controlled by a spinning planet. I sleep when I’m tired and when it is conveniant. I guess it all boils down to conveniance, its easier to see in day light and thus easier to go about everyday things. At the moment its 4:42am and its not because I am playing an addictive computer game or finishing off some coursework, its cause I want to go ice skating at 7am at Winter Wonderland. I would never be able to get up at 7am (you probably saying cause I go to sleep at stupid hours, which is a fair accusation) unless it is urgent. Even staying up this late and getting used to a late sleep/wake cycle doesn’t prevent me from getting to my 9am lectures. I move my sleep time all over the place I guess my body is beginning to get used to the lack of routine hehe. So, ice skating at the crack of dawn outside is gonna be cool. Charlie is still awake as well… but he DOES have coursework hehe, I thought I would stay up and sleep later after I got back.

Well thats enough about lack of sleep. I am also working on a new design for my site (AGAIN, yes i know :) ), this time it is Quake orientated (I just hope i don’t get sued for copyright infringement). If you want to take a gander while it is still in development its currently running at http://new.jargonia.co.uk (replies dont work there yet) but I would be grateful for the feedback on this side of the site.

    New site looks cool – if a little hard to read until the rest of the images load. But quite retro.
    As for the whole sleeping thing – you’ll have lots of fun when you get a 9-5 job. No more random sleeping patterns then.
    But you’ll find that out soon enough I’m sure :)
