The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I probably have that.

 

[FenriR]

yeah, I sleep about 3 hours a night and around 16 at the weekend. I also pull an all-nighter an average of once a fortnight. Once I tried pulling two in a row, but that was just painful.

Working my way through Lucretius' proofs, and inspired by such metaphysical matters, I decided to take a break and listen to Darkspace II.

Once in high school I attempted to stay awake as long as possible just for the hell of it. I lasted four days and three nights before I succumbed.

 

[FenriR]

Once I went for a fortnight using the following pattern at night:

stay awake for 2 hours
cat nap for 15 mins
another 2 hours awake
15 mins more...
...and so on and so forth.

I got up to date with all my work, finished writing a 40k codex, leveled a WoW character to 70 and finished painting an army, but, goddamn, I felt so shit for the entire period.

 

[Ender Rises]

You should have taken 30 minute naps.

 

[FenriR]

nah.
if you sleep for more than 15 mins you won't be able to wake up afterwards.

 

[Ender Rises]

Not if you force yourself to. You get used to that schedule and it's not bad. It was designed by scientific research.

 

[FenriR]

That's the problem.

I have very little self-control. Once I go to sleep, I can't wake up. 15 minutes is all I can cope with.

 

[Ender Rises]

I see.

 

[mutantllama]

The longest I've stayed away for was about 40 hours.

 

[MannequinLimbs]

Drinking.

But I'm annoyed.
I was creating a giant tower of Carling boxes in one of our kitchens' windows. Which are huge.
Eventually, I was hoping to block out the light. But someones fucking thrown them all out.
A whole weeks worth of "effort" in the damn wheelie bin.

Maybe this week I'll just build a robot costume for myself. ;oo

Yeah.

On topic,

Actually on topic,

Has this thread ever been on topic?

 

[Ender Rises]

I don't think so.

 

[waif]

mostly because the topic is inherently uninteresting

that said, on topic:
I'm stressing about the SAT. I just took a practice test and got somewhere between a 1900 (bad) and a 2200 (acceptable). (They only give you ranges because different forms have different areas weighted differently)
I have almost no extra-curriculars, no community service, and my grades are fairly average (although I take demanding courses), so my SAT score is my main selling point for getting into college. The test is March 1st. I'm worried.

 

[Ender Rises]

It's not a bad thing to go to a community college for two years. Cheaper as well.

 

[The Ozzman]

When I was your age, the SAT was out of a possible 1600 points.

I got a 1030 on it, but I didn't give a fuck.

EDIT:

2200 out of a possible 2400? That's more than just acceptable..

 

[mutantllama]

So I'm going to a tech school for half the day next year. Then the other half of the day I take my normal classes. I'm taking computer tech.

 

[FenriR]

about to grab a coupla hours sleep. my typing has gone to hell, which usually means I've pushed myself a bit too far.

Dude 1900-2200 is great. I got a 2170 and I got into one of the top universities in Canada. You should be fine.
