9am class? Dude, that SUCKS.
For a variety of reasons known and unknown, Girl-E's circadian rhythm got knocked unconscious and woke up thinking it's still in college. She has been staying up until 2:00 or 2:30 pretty much every night for the past week, just for the fuck of it. And during that time, not getting a damn thing crossed off her to-do list. She just does the kind of post-midnight stuff a 19-year-old would do-- IM for hours, read SPIN, eat Cherry Garcia in bed, download music (though legally). This after getting pizza for dinner at 10pm. It's a little bit gratifying.
Except, of course, for the one big suck-puppy that she is not, in fact, in college. She is, in theory, a productive adult member of society who must be ready to produce at 9am, for at least 8 full hours. This, you may be able to infer, is completely hilarious. This morning, she pushed snooze for a full 90 minutes without realizing it, and as of 10:33am, has so far done as much as sending one work-related email.
This kind of behavior is just as likely as any actual professional ambition to inspire her to go back to grad school. We have a suspicion that at some point, she will find she has 6 master's degrees in 6 totally unrelated fields, simply in order to be a student ad infinitum without having to write a dissertation. And she does also like the school part of it a whole lot, so that won't be a problem. As long as there are no classes before 11am. Maybe 10am, but only if the professor is completely awesome.
We're hoping she'll get to bed at a decent hour tonight so that she doesn't, like, get mono or something. Oh wait, it's karaoke night, and a friend is visiting from out of town. Damnit. Well, at least it's not pledge week.

I was talking to a friend this weekend about how they overheated the dorms in college, so we'd leave the windows open all the time, and I realized that getting a constant supply of fresh air was literally the only good health habit I had in college. It probably kept us from getting malaria, or tuberculosis, or something.

Jess, don't forget all the long healthy walks to the Wa! Oh, but DO forget everything you bought and consumed there. Its funny you mentioned malaria: I was always afraid of getting malaria in college since malaria is carried by mosquitos and all the dorms I lived in had no screens! And hungry squirrels carry all kind of diseases, too. Maybe open windows wasn't so good afterall!
