But agreeing isn't any fun!

And my life has always been rather dull...even college hasn't changed that!

Now, now kids...if the Old Folks' Home is any guide, we can chat a little here. It is after all a place to get to know eachother better, and build a stronger community here on the Downs.

Of course the Old Folks have little to speak of other than quilts and gardens...but we're young, vibrant individuals! Surely we can do better!

I can't agree with you more. I continue to live the same boring life....the only difference is I'm doing it across the country.

I have a question for everyone. Is there such thing as a college student who can receive a proper amount of sleep? Just wondering because I have failed to drag myself into bed before 2am ever since school started...

JennyHallu · 10-04-2006, 02:44 PM

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.

But Jenny, by the time I get home on Saturday evenings (or rather, Sunday mornings) if I sleep until 1 I barely get 6 hours of sleep! =p No... I'm not a party animal, I just haven't quite lost my Latino-ness and I love staying up at night, even if I'm home already.

I'm thinking of a good Tolkien idea for this thread, but I'm at work... I'll expand on it when I get home.

Edit: I just saw your other post... I ne'er said we can't chat, I just thought it'd be a good idea to have some Tolkien involved... let's face it the old folks tend to take up a lot of space on the interesting discussions... and after their elaborate, comprehensive posts, what is a young'un like myself going to say?

But here they are shut out looking in, MWAHAHAHAHA.

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.

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.....
