1. Heightened emotions.
Alas, after roughly 4 hours of editing I finished my 19-second- video (granted, eating and reading a chapter from a Star Wars novel 'Splinter of the Mind's Eye' falls within these hours). But it is still 12 am then so I sob into my pillow as I proceed to watch the final product.
2. The urge to be productive.
As I smile at my 19-second outcome playing in a loop for the 143rd time, I catch a glimpse of the piles of coursework untouched. I must finish them now, I can do this. My brain is a monstrous and greedy machine, intoxicated by the rush of rewarding chemicals from the feeling of my previous accomplishment. I do 2 pages of work and watch a whole Season of THE GUILD.
3. Overcompensation for minimal work.
I plop down on my bed and read blogs to the point where I would have to wake up later the next day and have less time to do work.
4. Paranoia.
My bladder betrays me just as I am about to sleep. As I step out, the hallway stretches out into a bottomless pit of doom and I have never ran fasted from Point A to Point B that I remember of.
5. Urge to record experience.
I wrote about it in my blog.
