Admittedly I am still getting more sleep now than during the school year. On a day in which I have nothing to do in the morning I get about 8-9 hours of sleep I go to bed around 3-4 in the morning and wake up 8 or 9 hours later.
I am not sure why I prefer being up very late at night. I just know that I feel much more energetic and motivated at night.
I found it ironic tonight, and I've begun to realize that this situation occurs quite frequently. I planned to stay up late tonight, just as I usually do. But it was almost 1 in the morning and Andrea said goodnight. I was a little upset I was having a nice time talking to her. She reasoned that she had work at 10, and thus she needed to catch the trolley at 9:30 so she needed sleep. I thought this was funny reasoning. Not because it didn't make sense, because truthfully it does. The reason I found this funny was because I too have to be up early. I have church at 10 on Sunday so my family will leave around 9:30. (Amazing how that is the same schedule as Andrea huh? )
Yet, even though I need to be up around 9 am to get ready for church, (and also to be prepared for work at 12, right after church and then Youth Group at 6:30, right after work) I still plan on staying up late. It is quite a shame that Andrea does not like my scheduling, because if she did she would have so much less trouble completing her To-Do lists. People wonder how I manage work and all my other activities and still find time to complete those AP assignments (I'm on page 548/694 in The Fountainhead).
Anyways, by the time I actually get to bed I'll have read some more of The Fountainhead, done a load of laundry, balanced my checkbook, and read some emails. I'll possibly even straighten my hair depending on how tired I feel.
The whole objective of this post was to point out that I have an odd sleeping pattern and that I don't really need as much sleep as other people I suppose. But I happened to have mentioned a whole lot more than that. Oh well, I suppose I like to rant at night.

you also don't have to work 7 days a week. i get really tired after a while. i still only get like 5-6 hours of sleep because i can't sleep any longer than that, but i'd rather have the chance to sleep in if i can, and wake up slowly either way.
i can't do the fountainhead for my modern book because i did finish it in 11th grade, so i still have yet to pick a book. you got a head start on that because you read a lot during 11th grade but did not finish it.
you also have more motivation to do the ap work than i do because i don't want to do it and i am too tired to think about what i'm doing.
i'm also trying to relax a little this summer. it's my last summer before i'm a college girl. i want it to be relaxing and enjoyable.
Well, it seems that so long as you are up and functional for everything you have to do, your parents don't care. Whereas my father tells me to go to bed earlier so that I can be up... for the sake of being up. Ugh.
