sadly, lessons like that usually have to come from NOT succeeding.
three straight not-enough-sleep nights is not conducive to a successful, productive, fun week.
Monday night wasn't bad...but I had an 8.15 midterm tuesday morning -tuesdays are always sleepy days. then, after conversation club, I went out to watch the lyon vs manchester soccer game...and while none of us really watched the game, we all had a heck of a lot of fun talking and people watching in the bar. unfortunately, I completely lost track of time and consequently didnt get home until quarter of one. and then the next night (despite being sleepy all day...) my girls and I went to Buck Mulligans, which hosts an international night. we didnt actually meet anyone, but we had a hell of a time playing cards and acting like idiots...I'm sure the rest of the people thought we were drunk, but they just dont understand that you can laugh and have fun without extraneous amounts of alcohol =D aaaand once again I didnt make it home until quarter of one...
and then thursday night was the crowning moment of college-sleeplessness-stupidity. We had a day trip to Paris yesterday (moment 16,823,086 of sur-reality of my life, by the way-who takes a day trip to PARIS?) and we had to be at the train station at 7am. my girls and I decide for some unknown reason that it would be a good idea to sleep over at Jenan's house so that we could all go together. of course, we ended up cooking dinner and having a whip-cream-fight (I think since Britney stayed clean, she was the winner) and watching a movie until 2 am. ergo...we were working on about 4 hours of sleep. after two already sleep deprived nights for me.
I was TIRED.
but then I slept for 11 hours last night...and have learned my lesson. granted, it probably won't stop me from doing this again at some point, but that's beside the point =D Besides, it was because of fun that I didn't sleep. every now and then, I'll take that trade-off!
à+!
PS!!! While it may be the 9th here in France (again with the staying out too late...this time dancing!), it's still the 8th back home, and so I say to you...Happy International Women's Day! not only that, but it's the 100 anniversary of the birth of Simone de Beavoire, affectionnately refered to by some as the mother of the second wave feminist movement =)

I thought I might see you...and then realized that you knew paris better than I and would be in all the trendy places instead of the touristy ones. :oP
Honey, if you haven't realized that sleep is a good thing by now, then I can't help you. I'm on break and have been nothing but sleeping, reading, and watching movies. My life is so productive. I realize that we haven't talked in, I don't know, FOREVER. That needs remedied. Tu me manque!
