It’s really really sweet to be able to work with the light on. I had no trouble staying awake all night even though I had pulled an all-nighter yesterday as well. And now that the sun’s coming up and would normally make my 8:30 nap difficult, I can switch off the light in my half and the curtain blocks out all of the sunlight from the window so that I can take a nice deep nap.
I’m pretty sure that this curtain will destroy any semblance of a circadian rhythm that I have left… Yes, it is very weird. We get a lot of strange looks when people walk by our room. But screw normality! We’re in college, the only time in our lives when it’s socially feasible to erect a huge ugly sheet of black plastic in the middle of our living area. Life is good.
