    Default Your first time

    So I just pulled my first school-related all-nighter, ever. I have come close before (working until 2 or 3 AM, only getting a few hours of sleep), but never actually done it. However, the journal competition at law school broke me, and I was up until after 5 AM just getting the work done, and then I had to spend the next 90+ minutes copying everything in the editing section over to a final copy (which took so long partly because I saw a couple of things I had forgotten to go back to). Sure, I procrastinated hardcore as usual, but it was a ton of work.

    I was certainly not alone. When I was at the law school printing out all the necessary copies, the only person I talked to that actually did sleep last night had not slept for almost the entire two days previous. But whatever, now I am finally done with my first year. Now I get to enjoy waiting the next 3 weeks or so for my class grades and 6 weeks for the journal competition results. Fun times.

    So, to give this barely lucid babbling some sort of topic, have you ever pulled an all-nighter? Discuss doing work all night.

    I pull all-nighters even when I'm not working on something. I generally just end up losing track of time, then looking at the clock 'What the smurf it's 3:30am?!'

    I'm pretty good about not procrastinating. Being kept up all night before an exam is usually done by either room mates or neighbors. Pretty much makes me want to go on a shooting spree.

    I wrote half of my history dissertation the night before/morning it was due. It was an unpleasant experience.

    Professors are sadists, and expect this kind of crap.

    I've never pulled an all-nighter. Psychology is the major of kings and layabouts.

    When I studied at an art university, pulling an all nighter was a common practice.

    The first time I did it, I was miserable.... .... I know that if I see the light of dawn.. I'm going to be in a crappy mood! :S

    Like Raist, I've only ever almost done it. We'll see what the graduation project I'm working on will do to me. If I don't pull an all-nighter over that, I'll have escaped school without having had to.

    Only when I've been up so late that it's more devastating to sleep for only a few hours than stay awake and go to school. Ah the joys of going to college.

    Last year I've had my first all-monther. All month long, 3 intersection exam weeks as I did a transition to master next to my bachelor, and I only took 1 hour naps between studying and making tests.

    My longest streak was 78 hours without sleep. I think Kaycee was there and is still slightly disturbed by it.

    Hey now, this isn't the place for that. Take it to the Grandma thread in EoEO.

    Who doesn't love out of context spelling errors?

    I stay up all night for the fun of it every now and then.
