The Tolkien Middle Age Club

Not really. My life is boring. Most of our patients were no-shows this afternoon. Not that I do anything here anyway. It has been decided that students for the outpatient office on this rotation - even those of us who are seniors - get to sit in a corner and watch. Borrring, and fortunately over on Friday.

Highlight for the day is getting home, checking my inbox, and finding two more radiology interview invitations! That makes three so far.

Can't wait to see it.

That depends...how much sleep are you aiming for?

4-6 hours? Easily.

6-7 hours? Sure. On weeknights. Which include Sunday, but not Thursday. Especially if you don't have many morning classes.

8-9 or other amounts actually recommended by doctors and other health professionals? Why would you want to? So many other things to do...except on Sunday mornings. Sleep until like 1 on Sunday if you want.

I'm not really aiming for anything...just asking out loud if any other college student here sleeps...or not. In high school, all my friends went to bed around 10- I had a hard time getting them to do anything late. Now in college, I have yet to find a student who will go to bed before midnight. I usually go to bed 2:30-3 and have to get up around 7 for classes and work. With so little sleep, I have don't have enough energy, so I stay burrowed in my dorm napping, doing homework, watching TV, and of course chilling out here at the BD. Ah, the pathetic life of a college student.

I really need to get out and do something.....

One of the things I loved about Argentina was the fact that people went out to eat around 10-11 PM. . .

Once I was leaving this club at 4:30 AM and people was still in a hughe line to get in. (we of course was allowed to skip the line because we knew the password, "we bring Scandinavian girls" )

I am having seriouse problems getting to bed before 3 AM and it is your fault!

If I was to buy a minor work of Tolkien, what would a bunch of middle aged people like you sugest ?

This may be rather pathetic, well, actually, it is, but I rarely stay up past midnight on weekdays, unless I have a paper due. Usually, on the nights I don't work, my roommate and I are in bed by 10:00PM. I like to stay up, but if I don't have any homework, I'd rather sleep!

If you haven't read it yet, I think Tales of the Perilous Realm is pretty decent.

Don't hate me for being so cool *ahem* but yeah... more often than not, people will meet with their friends around nine, have dinner by ten, decide what to do by midnight and get there around one in the morning.... and some people go to more than one club each night so that's why you see long lines pretty much until closing although... I could never understand why someone would want to pay eight bucks to go to yet another club when... they are all mostly the same thing! But then, I'm not big into clubbing, so maybe that's just me.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Oh actually I got that one. . . sorry
Other than that, what do you recomend ?


Yeah it is pretty much what we do as well, only it is not always we procede to the next club/bar/whatever. I never liked clubs and I still don't go to them at home, but in Argentina I was clubbing like crazy. I loved the place. . .I would not mind spending a year in BA! (What is up with those bars that serve free beer and don't charge anything in the door ?)

I recommend Smith of Wootton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham. Smith is my personality double, after all.

I think I can beat everyone on early bedtimes. 9:00 sometimes. I'm not that bad right now since I don't have to be in to work until about 9 in the morning, but when I had to be in at 5 AM, 9 o'clock was definitely lights out time.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

I feel like a little school-child with all this talk about bed times. . . Was that never the major talk of your class ?

Smith of Wootton Major it is. . . I once got Farmer Giles of Ham from the libary with alot of other books, but was frightened away by the aweful Danish titel. "Niels Bonde fra Bold" It is not really different from the English titel, but it just sounds really silly and Roverandom had two dogs on the cover so I did not even bother to open it. (Mind that I had borrowed more books than I could read)
