Up late studying with peer.

Class next morning at 8 am. More classes throughout the day. Grad school, after all. Then do assignments, head to library to work on papers, do necessary readings, etc.

Dorm activities as dorm rep that evening, then work from 11 pm until 7 am. Staff front entrance, handle emergencies, keep little dorm store open, guard the till.

Grad classes that morning at 8 am. Including test.

Yeah. Then again, I was in my mid-30s.

Have done this in my mid 50s as a high school science teacher and parent, actually--get carried away doing something and sort of realize that it's 4:30 am and the alarm clock's going to go off at 4:45 a.m.

You cope.
