finals week...

so it's 2:45 in the morning, and i'm still awake. how productive!

shows just how productive i really am.

i think it's safe to say that i no longer have to go to my classes, even though we only have two days left. i took my dynamics final on tuesday, and i have a take-home exam and a lab report for my manufacturing class due on friday, which i can just submit online. which leads me to wonder why i haven't finished those yet, especially since i have so much more free time. better get cracking on those, don't want to leave them for friday night... eh.

today, while i sat on my butt, i was wondering about how our daily life cycle works and how it affects us. i've noticed that my mood usually depends on the time of day (though not entirely), and i'm almost always feeling energetic at the same time every day. i've heard that people tend to have energy highs and lows to their days, and maybe it's true, so i decided to try to break it down.

lee's daily cycle:

morning (5AM - 10AM)
i usually wake up at some point in this period. i'm almost always grumpy, since i never want to get up and have the day start. but i do it anyway, and usually you'll find me either half asleep in the weight room/pool or sitting in lecture with my eyes closed. this can be classified as one of my "low" points.

noon-ish (10AM - 1 PM)
i start to wake up a bit, and usually i'll be more active and energetic. unfortunately, i'm almost always still in class, so the only thing i notice is my ability to focus to the teacher more and take neater notes in my notebook. oh well.

afternoon (1PM - 5PM)
assuming i've just eaten food, the combination of a stuffed tummy and boring afternoon classes often leads to a food coma. i also have trouble staying awake at work, because it's always hot and the comfort of the heat always lulls me to sleep. i don't like this time of day either.

basically, up to this point, my day is still boring and uneventful. unless i've napped, and then it's just awesome.

evening (5PM - 9PM)
done with classes! done with swimming! this is usually the most exciting part of my day, when i feel accomplished. i'm usually in a really good mood, and my tendency to slack off and procrastinate is at its highest. definitely the "high" point of my day.

night (9PM - 12AM)
i start to realize that i've been screwing around a lot, and then i panic and try to get myself to do some homework. my sugar high fades a bit, but i'm still in a good enough mood to run through all the things i need to get done for the day and not complain about it. easily the most productive part of my day. tendency to slack off is still high, though.

early morning (12AM - 5AM)
whenever it gets this far, i just give up on work. everything will seem funny to me, and i'll start to laugh at just about everyone. especially if you're talking about the teletubbies. i like this time of day. yayyy!

anyway, it seems pretty accurate to me. and seeing as how it is currently early morning, i find myself easily amused by this blog. i'll just keep typing and typing and typing... it'll never end!

but i'll take a break for now.
