FROM MY PARENTS

MOTHER:
A long time ago, when my mother still did my laundry, she got on my case for leaving my socks all bunched up when I tossed them in the laundry basket. "They don't get cleaned when they're all balled up!"

This morning when I was doing my laundry, I was disappointed in myself for not un-bunching my socks before tossing them in the laundry basket.

DAD:
Seeing my father awake past 10pm happens maybe once or twice a year. Also, never in my memory have I woken up before my dad in the morning. He likes his sleep and likes it early.

Last night, I closed down the school library at 10pm, but because I was stupid and had a cup of caffeinated coffee at 3pm I was wired. (I never have caffeine because it makes me super jittery and energized for hours and hours, but I was desperate. I had been at the library for a couple of hours and still had many more in front of me.) So after closing down the library, I went over to visit my brother and the freshmen rowers who all live in the same dorms. I didn't make it to bed until a little past midnight. This is early for most college students on Saturday night, but most college students don't go to bed at 9:30 most nights.  This morning at 6:30am bing! wide awake.

I seem to have inherited my dad's sleeping habits.
