December 12th: All-Nighter and Midnight Brunch

Though today wasn't the most productive, it certainly was not bad.

I stayed up pretty late working on the annotated bibliographies for my research paper. I did indeed get them finished in time, but I procrastinated quite a lot in the process. However, they were indeed finished by the morning.

I actually wanted to just lay in bed for 10 minutes to rest, because I wanted to get breakfast later. However, of course, I ended up sleeping until 2PM.

I was still pretty tired when I woke up. I showered and got ready, and went to get some lunch from Crossroads.

Then, I did some studying: I reviewed my past midterms for Calculus 3. After dinner, I did a little bit more studying for CS 61A.

When night was approaching, I started lining up for the Midnight Brunch at Crossroads. Since finals week was coming up, Berkeley Dining had a Midnight Brunch as a special occasion. The line was super, super long; it almost wrapped around the block! I cut just a little bit ahead so I could stand in line and enjoy the Midnight Brunch with some of my floormates.

The conversation was enjoyable; after waiting in line for a while, we made it to the front. We first got in line to get the donuts: I got a coconut shaving one and an apple fritter. Then, we lined up for some of the drinks they had: smoothies and hot chocolate. I was pretty cold after being underdressed and standing in the cold for so long, so I really appreciated the hot chocolate. There was also chicken and waffles! I found the hot honey to have quite a bit of honey in it, but it was still very delicious for dining hall chicken and waffles. It was also my first time having chicken and waffles!

After we were finished, we gathered all of our belongings and left Crossroads. When we left, the line was still pretty long! We got back to the dorm pretty late and I was already pretty tired, so I didn't stay up this night. Even though tonight wasn't the most productive as finals were coming around the corner, I still had a pretty enjoyable night before I had to spend every subsequent night studying.
