Being lulled to sleep by the odd melodies of system shock 2 must have proved strangely rejuvenating, because I woke up before 5 am (having gone to bed after midnight) not feeling too tired. (I’m sure I’ll pay for it later). But this allowed me to go to settsimaksimin‘s gay swim team dealie. I enjoyed it. It was good. I did screw up the timing a bit, missed the optimal bus, then briefly got lost in downtown, and then spent a few minutes negotiating with the YMCA front desk people, so I didn’t catch the full workout; I must have been at least 15, if not 45 minutes late. It seemed all too brief.
Yesterday’s financial aid news left me very happy. Turns out if my parents and I manage to iron out the buying-real-estate-and-having-me-manage-it-plan, I will be able to pay all my expenses on loans, and shift a major portion of my consumer debt load (if not, in fact, all of it) to low/no interest student loans. Sweet.
I’m awake, hungry, and at my desk before 8am. Time to hit the north country co-op and pick up my bus pass. Yay! =)
Er, sorry about that. Brian and I were in the zone. Not the most calming soundtrack, is it?
Rex pounced me awake at 6am. I totally forgot about putting him in his box, so I guess he was under my bed the whole night. I wondered where you ran off to. =)
😉 I got to sleep just fine while you were playing it, don’t worry. FFXI music would probably do more to keep me awake. =) I usually feel a little awkward about going to bed, because I don’t want to impose upon your gameplay time. Wow, that sounded ridiculous. But it’s true. =)
I’m very much a night owl. I just keep telling myself that you’re peacefully slumbering to assuage my pangs of guilt. I’d definitely go to bed earlier if I didn’t do so much online gaming with certain people who live 2 time zones behind me.
You went to sleep to System Shock 2?! That was the scariest game I ever played. Monkey sounds still creep me out. Also: “Join us in this symphony of life.”
