Sorry for the boring past
Sorry for the boring past week here at da blog. I have nine more days until the end of Fall term and am wrapping up all the odds and ends of readings, papers, presentations, and projects. It’s been an excellent set of classes I’ve taken.
I’m excited about winter break. There’ll be oodles to do and it’s all FUN stuff! I’ll finally get our UK photos up online, read a few books, watch the first season Kids in the Hall DVD set that’s coming in the mail, rip my funny childhood cassettes into mp3s, etc. etc. There’ll be lots of homemade soup cooking and staying up until 3 AM reading on the living room couch. (When left to my own clock, I prefer to retire at about that time and arise around noon.)

Emily,
I’m SO with you on the elongated circadian rhythms. It’s called free running, and if I could do it, I’d be up until 12:00-1:00AM, and up at 9:00AM. I’m not kidding, I did a test over winter break last year, and that is my perfect sleep clock. I can do a few early mornings, but I confess I’m an 8-hour a night girl.
Lately I’m up until 2:00AM (I just can’t get motivated for homework until evening), and up at 9:45AM (My classes don’t start until 12:30). It’s sinful, I know, but I put in 20 years of 8:00-6:00–I’m not overly consumed with guilt!
The thing is, we’d still put in full days! We need to start an anti-discrimination movement for those of us who are night owls.
