sleep? whats that???

"I'll sleep when I'm dead."

I don't know if this is simply the words of one of my hallmates (an architect major) or if this is a quote from someone more famous... but I do know that it has become a motto which i live by. In high school a late night was 1 or 2 AM- even on weekends being active at 3 was "a crazy nite." Now there isn't a night that goes by where I am in bed before 1. My health has suffered... but i feel it was worth it. You don't get to REALLY know someone until you've had a late night conversation (over the finest meal- Taco Bell) about their first kiss experience. Bonding of this magnitude occurs only in the latenight hours....
That is only the weeknights. By the time the weekend arrives (and by weekend i mean Thursday) the bedtime pushes to about 4 or 5 AM. Often times it's because these few hours are the only time i have to see close friends... those who don't live in the dorms and work can afford much time during the week to socialize. Showing up somewhere before 11 at night isn't really "cool"... and going to the bar before 12 is just not done.
This all seems normal to the average 'collegate' but going home for breaks is quite a reality check... last time i stayed with my parents for a week, i was going to bed when my mom was getting up for work! oh the college years....
