I've officially slipped into "college student" status: pulled my first "all nighter" last night :D
I woke up at 10 AM Sunday morning, messed around til noon and got food, then settled in for a long study session for my O-chem final the next morning (in other words, this morning at 8). Called a friend to come and help me study about 6 PM, and she stuck around til about 8 PM before she went back to study on her own. As 11 neared I realized there was still a lot I wanted to go over, and knew that I was bound to forget most of the reactions I was frantically learning by morning.
So I decided to give myself 8 extra hours of study time and not go to bed. There was some small comfort in that my roommate also stayed up the whole night studying espanol, so I couldn't offer her any dark looks of envy as she slept soundly. Our 3rd roomie (i.e. the friend who's over so often we consider her our illegitimate roomie) also stayed up studying biochem, so at 6 AM we all met at IHOP and had breakfast.
You know how weird it is not to go to sleep at ALL? Freaked me out...I think it helped though. I'll see tomorrow. After the test I promptly came back and crashed for 5 hours before I met up with another friend to study for my physics exam (tomorrow, @ 8 AM again...). By the time I woke up to study again, it felt like the whole morning and night before had been so long ago o_O.
Damn I'm tired. Off to study more. Going home after the physics test tomorrow though! Yay for driving 4 hours on less than that amount of sleep!

Best of luck on those tests Seiji, and be careful going home.

*sigh* I think I did alright in physics, and I pulled a B in O-chem, so happy!
So, what, you'll be home Thursday? I'm here already, and was going to call you and see if you were in yet, but apparently not -_-...
Booooring...maybe I'll go harass some teachers up at Magnet

It was...man, freaky.
