Yesterday I got up, had breakfast, and got to my classroom around 8:30 to do some reading before class. Starting at 9am I had three hours of class. I grabbed some food and oriented myself to my options, and decided to work through most of lunch. Three more hours of class followed, after which I went to work and did dishes. Finally after work I got dinner and messaged online for about half an hour while I ate. After that breather, at about 6:30, I swung by Commons for an energy drink and packed some books and my computer to the library, where I finished the first draft of my current paper and then continued reading Aristotle. At about 9:30 I got hungry and realized I'd better get to Commons quick before they closed. I got my snack and then migrated back to the library. It wasn't until 11:30 when, my concentration fading, I looked up at the clock and thought - my god, I've been working almost nonstop for 14 hours. I'd known the whole time, of course, that I was planning to stay up until about midnight - that was the purpose of the energy drink. But it didn't hit me until the very end that I'd done nothing but school for just about the maximum amount of my day plausible.
I really like this final paper I'm writing. It's about irrationality in collective life as portrayed by Plato and Euripides.
