Day 2: Electric Boogaloo

For an explanation see here.

5:24 pm
Oof, I did not sleep well. I woke up at 1:30ish and didn't feel like going back to sleep, but I told myself I had to. Sometimes my body doesn't mind 6 or so hours of sleep, but I forced myself to get 9. Luckily I ended up waking up at 3:55 was able to just wake up naturally rather than be woken up by an alarm, which just makes the whole situation worse.
I had a crazy dream crossing Skyrim and Interview With the Vampire. There were a bunch of vampires and they were arguing about whether to turn a group of soldiers into vampires and side with the Empire to fight the other vampires or to fight against them. Basically, those who wanted to join the Empire would be fighting those who didn't want to. The war was going to exist because the war existed. It felt pretty recursive (I hope I'm using that right). Anyway, I got up and started my day doing nothing. I'll have to find something to do tonight because I have to be awake until 10 am Wednesday. Wheee!


7:44 pm
This is the part of my day that feels like a normal person's afternoon. It's practically 8, but it it feels like my day is winding down in terms of activity and less energetic activities begin, like video games or reading for a few hours. Maybe that's because when I actually get out of bed, it's the peak (more or less) of the afternoon before everyone finishes their day off.




4:00 am
Welp, I still have 6 hours until bedtime, soo.... that's going to be fun. I've been playing Skyrim for the past couple of hours, so I'll probably do that then maybe write some more. I'll probably wind down with a movie or two.


6:26 am
Whoop, it is only 6:30 in the morning and I still have 3 and a half hours to go. I've just been playing Skyrim all night, which is fun. I suppose that 10 am bedtime is not the most ridiculous thing (I've gone to bed at 1 in the afternoon the next day before) but telling myself, "No, you have to stay up" is strange.


7:43 am
Oh, that's nice. Only two hours left. I decided to watch "She's Out of My League", starring Jay Baruchel. I think he's a really good actor, I'm glad he's in this. Honestly I think if he wasn't this movie would be pretty awful, because it kind of is. It's predictable and cheesy, but he's quirky and that's nice.


8:16 am
Whoo, there is sun! I am seeing the sun for more than the beginning of a sunrise! WHOOOOO! I'm not going to lie, it is inconveniently bouncing off my neighbors' roof and hitting me in the eye, but whatever I guess! I'm surprised that my body seems to be coping well enough with this weird schedule, while it is only two days in, but that might be because I just ate. At some point I will finish writing Nathan's Sexy Guide to Staying Up Late. Maybe I will do that this week.


9:50 am
Well it's almost time for bed, which I look forward to. Around 9:30 I realized I was actually pretty tired, which was not pleasant. I started watching Transformers. I've seen it before, but for some reason I felt my life needed some kickass robots. Anyway, it looks like I get to sleep until 7 pm tonight, whiiiich will be quite disorienting. Tomorrow's going to be the best though, since that puts me right in the middle of the day. My roommate warned me that adding 3 hours every day was not the best idea, but I don't really have time for anything else so I'll just deal with it. Party like a rockstar!
