revelations in the night

I haven't seen daybreak at UVA yet, but daggone it, I'm getting close to it.

Staying true to being the perpetual night owl, I am up yet again but being more productive than usual.

I get an email at about 1:30am from my professor saying I'm missing some assignments and if I could email them in before noon the next day, they'd bump my grade up. Oh I pray that in the future that I'm not so greedy...

All the while I'm hesitant to go. It's 20 degrees outside, I'm tired, and it's only a few points???

At a quarter to 3, I'm on my way to see Mr. Harry Clemons, the only other soul on UVA grounds who would be up as late as I am and the only place with working scanners at this time of night.

In reference to an earlier post, you really do experience/see strange things from the hours of 2-4am. An ATM wildly flashing lights. A half bag of hamburger meat near a bike rack. Dancing in the street because there are no cars for miles around. (Ok, that was me this time.)

I work and turn in the stuff at 3:30am...I begin to think about what ultimately led to this moment in time......PROCRASTINATION. Stockpiling of it throughout the semester culminating into this one point in time.

To add insult to injury, it is a constant evil that keeps haunting most people (me for that matter) and has a tendency to come back and bite. Hard.

This time not so hard. Dear Lord, help me be better at fighting this...
