I Drank Ten Cups of Tea, and I’m Still Asleep. Is That an Issue?

Since I'm here to bring you the real deal on things, I suppose I should cover the lack of sleep associated with being a student at Wellesley.

 Here's the lowdown:

You get no sleep.

Now, if that scares some people away, let me tell you: Never fear!, I do know some crazy women who have actually stuck to sleeping schedules of 12-8 am and made all of their assignments, tests, lives fine and dandy.

Unfortunately for me, I am really only effective and efficient at about 9 pm on a Sunday night, having just realized that the weekend was fruitlessly spent on "schoolwork" and that I have a language blog post of 350 words, notes to write up, readings to do and questions to answer.

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the adrenaline rush that is associated with procrastination and homework binges.

[In MIT's student center, making a phone call in the obsolete phone booth!]

It's simply that I would like more than the average 5 hours of sleep I seem to be getting nowadays. Yet although I am now a bit more experienced at prioritizing, know how to properly utilize the college help resources, and have friends who facilitate my studying habits, I just think I like being contrary.

I like that adrenaline rush. I guess you could call it old-fashioned.

Or maybe obstinate.

Or maybe simply an example of one of the many different Wellesley Women.
