All night long - Lionel Ritchie
I woke up on Wednesday evening and got ready for Bible study. I was oredi thinking about me plans to go to town the next day as I have Thursdays off.
Then I checked me e-mail and found out that we were finally given our group assignments - for presentation on Friday!!!! Yeah, less than 48 hours.
I spent the rest of the evening locating and downloading the stuffs from on-line - and realised the enormity of the task. I have literally hundreds of pages to read, digest and discuss - and obtain answers from!!!!!
So out went my downtown plans on Thursday. But unsurprisingly, it wasn't sufficient - the day hours. So it had to be another all-nighter! :-(
OK - so I sneaked some power naps here and there but it was only at 7 am when I finally set me alarm at 9:30 am and dropped into bed. Before I knew it, I was dragging meself out of bed, forced meself to sit in the sun light (yes, another bright shiny day at Colchester!) and went to meet me group mates for a quickie discussion b4 going for our seminar.
As it turned out, we did not have enuf time - and our lecturer decided that in view also of the fact that many others could not locate the reading material nor could find time to plough thru it (hey, if I could do it, why couldn't they?), the presentation was postponed to next Friday!!!!!
For a moment, me heart sank! All the effort...
But only for a moment. I was glad I did it - cuz if I didn't, it'll be the same again next Thursday nite. At least now I have more time to chew on the material and digest it further - trust me, when u are forcing yourself to read from a laptop screen at 4 am in the cold morning, concentration can be really difficult.
And yeah, that's how I did the all-nighter. I used the force!
Basically, I forced meself.... :-P
And so, you'd expect me to come back after the seminar and drop into bed, rite? So did I. But I decided to reward meself and watch an episode of DH! I've oredi watched 2 and I'm gonna start another one now. Well, not now.... after I get meself another cup of coffee!
