Do you know what one of my favourite things in the entire universe is? Pulling an all-nighter. In particular, pulling an all-nighter to get work done; be it a website, an assignment or just writing. I absolutely love it. I love the added pressure of knowing a deadline is looming around the corner, I love farting around and procrastinating when I know I shouldn’t be and I love the delirium the next day as your body howls out “WHY?”
Last night I pulled an epic all-nighter; final two projects of my first semester back at school. It was the epic kind of all nighter where at six in the morning you desperately just need to grab a blanket and “close your eyes for a second.” Well, I forgot how to work my phone so I couldn’t turn on my alarm and the eyes closing didn’t really happen.
At one point last night I read and reread the material 8 times and couldn’t answer the question at hand, so I through in some exclamation marks to make it sound like an enthusiastic answer. Unfortunately it’s a science report though on stem cells, so exclamation marks really aren’t going to help me much. Maybe my prof loves exclamation marks!
But do you know what the best part of an all-nighter is? Getting food the next morning while you’re half asleep and nine times out of ten that food will be one of the BEST things you’ve ever eaten in your life! All of your senses are enhanced and you’re treated with a flavour explosion! But to follow that up with a nap in the middle of the day. Guaranteed awesome across the board.
I used to think heaven was ordering six chicken mcnuggets and actually getting seven and a switchblade. Today I discovered it was eating tuna salad in a pita with tahini sauce and then having a nap.
