My last day during the first semester was the most unbelievable day of my life. I was awake for 26 hours straight! Mich and I had to finish cram our final quantitative research paper which will actually reflect 25% of our final grade. I know cramming isn't an impressive habit, and neither do I take pride being labeled as a procrastinator; but if cramming does work for you, why give it up? Our last qualitative research paper got an A, even if it was just 15 pages long (another group even has 34). We were even worried ours would be incomplete, but thank heavens, Sir favors brevity! I really hope our quanti paper would acquire the same fate, in expense of us going to Tagaytay unbathed. You see, we had to submit our paper on a Monday, and on that Monday itself was our Tagaytay trip with PEERS. We worked non-stop on our paper, thus no time to take a bath. When we were done, we were already running late for Tagaytay, because it was already 3pm and we were still buying Flaming Hot buffalo wings in Katipunan. One must understand that we needed to appease our growling stomachs after that deadly cramming session. So we arrived in Tagaytay 2 hours later, with bulging eyes and dead hair cells protesting for a bath. When we were introducing ourselves and were asked to say something unusual about us, I courageously replied: "We have been up since 9 pm and we haven't taken a bath yet...". As expected all of them gasped, and I swear I saw from their faces that they wouldn't want to come near us just yet. So of course they drove us to take a bath. When we finally did, we were so high to even think that we haven't had any sleep at all. We went through the activities with our spirits in full energy mode, and when it was time to sleep, Mich and I even had time to chat for awhile. Then we fell asleep at around 11, which concludes our restless but functional 26 hours.
And because of this, I, the very known hypersomniac (my own term for un-insomniacs), has finally made history. I HAD BEEN AWAKE FOR 26 HOURS. For a person who used to fall asleep a lot, I have every right to be proud! *grin*
