To save me from existential boredom, I’m currently doing a part-time MA in Archaeology (my original degree was in digging holes). Now, like many of y’all, I work nights a fair bit – but it’s been a while (about eleven years) since I’ve pulled a proper old-school all nighter in order to write an essay. I probably needed the last minute pressure, mind…
Bashed out 3000 words on human evolution and watched the sun come up, to the sound of the KLF’s Chill Out – it’s a marvellous day and I’d kind of forgotten how sleep deprivation can feel so, erm, pleasantly narcotic. If I had a pint of the black stuff now, I’d keel over. 8)
