Late Night Life

Okkk so the time is 4:31am and I am STILL awake. What is that? I am a person that normally does not function well on less than 6 hours of sleep at night. What am I talking about? That's a lie. I do not function well on less than 8 hours of sleep a night and if I can sleep for more than that I am always more than willing to jump at that chance. Ask my best friend Mical. Or should I say my mom. She has to drag me out of bed every morning. I really don't know what I would do without that girl. [I love you Cal].

Anyways, I am up and it is already a new day and the only reason that I am still up at this late hour is because Caitlin and I have to study for a final that will probably still kick our butt tomorrow. I admit, we have been distracted by quite stimulating AIM conversations, but we have still been studying to say the least.

So why the blog if I have so much to do? Hmmmmm....good question. I don't even know if people actually read these things. There is a little box that says "PROFILE VIEWS" and the number is well into the 20's, which would seem to be a good thing considering that I just made this thing last night, but is that number even acurrate? I have NO idea. I click the refresh button and the number increases. So the amount of times that I look at my own page must be included in this number.

Important Things I learned today

1. Sometimes getting lost in a two hour conversation about life is better than taking that time to study...you'll remember your conversations with your friends more than you will remember some "facts" you learned for some final, for some class you took for some year in college.
2. People can surprise you. Testimonies are fascinating to me. That old saying "never judge a book by its cover" rang true today...
3. Although I have recently been on a little thing that texting, AIM, and other forms of communication, besides in person, are impersonal; I have found that AIM can be a sufficient way to get to know someone. Yes, I do think that one still needs to have actual, face-to-face interaction with people, but the internet is still a sufficient means for these purposes.
4. Lastly, going to Denny's at 3 in the morning is so much better than the time that most "normal" people would go and for the following reasons: there is hardly anyone there to interrupt the conversation, food is served faster which means that it is hotter, your drink is constantly being refilled before you get a chance to finish the first cup because you have the waiter's full attention since no one else is around, you leave the restaurant expecting an empty parking lot, only to find that there is quite a long line of people ready to set up their flea market stands so in an attempt to bypass this 4-in-the-morning traffic, you are only slowed down by the extremely slow driver that has no idea his parking lights are on instead of his headlights, but most of all, because some of the best memories are made after midnight. :)
