Staying Up

For the past two nights I've gone to bed at 8:30 or 9 PM. I used two excuses to rationalize why I, a young adult of 26, would want to go to bed at the same time as an elementary schooler. After reminding myself that it's a stressful week and that I have my period, though, my conscience was eased enough to let me doze off.

Tonight I'm determined to break the cycle and stay up until eleven. It's 9:17 now.

I'm so tired.

Y'know, I remember a time when I didn't have to force myself to stay awake on a Friday night. I would be out doing things* with my friends until one or two in the morning.

Man. I feel so old.
