So, I'm still in grad school and, therefore, I often find myself pulling "all-nighters." Now, for many this is a much dreaded event that brings back horrific memories of midterms and cram sessions. But I have to say, as I am in the middle of one right now, that sometimes the dreaded "all-nighter" is not so bad. There is something about staying up all night and being the only one awake at 3am that is exciting. Childlike, I know. Yet, sometimes it's fun to forget about schedules and "Ugh I have to get up in 4 hours" and just enjoy wasting time lost in thought or planning the future. It's quiet. No good tv to distract you, no one to talk to. Even your faithful golden retriever has given up hope of a late nite walk. It's just you. In a world where it is hardly ever quiet, I find this liberating and rejuvenating.
Besides, there's always early morning Starbucks to take the edge off!
