1) I find FutureMe.org horribly addictive. Yes, you can write a letter to the future you (well, I write New Year's resolutions already, but thinking 10 years into the future is mind-boggling), but even cooler is that you can read public letters that other people wrote. They're the most randomly honest things I've read in a while.
2) What tone should I take for my Personal Statement? Right now I'm kinda like "Here's what I know about teaching from my experience, and here is my opinion on teaching history", but I don't want to be like "I have nothing to learn from you, biotches!", but I need to be like "yo, I have some brains here and I've thought about this", and how do I say "take me, I love you and I will Do Good"?
3) I'm officially nocturnal. Now the question is how to get back to a normal sleep schedule?

1) oh god.. so addicting.. I think I'm a voyeur.

2)hmm go ahead and be like "I am super cool" and then be like "you're AWESOME, you're my hero because x,y,z" and then you're like "mix us together and it'll be perfection!" ok I actually have no idea what I'm talking about.. but from my "how to get an MFA" course that I'll probably never utilize: find a professor who's research is awesome cool, then stalk them. Also, find some grad students' emails and bug em. Meh, I dunno, I think MFA has less to do with qualifications and more to do with knowing people.

3)hmmm, exercise? it makes daytime energy and nighttime sleepiness.

4)you back in PA yet? up for figure drawing? it's 7:15 tomorrow (tues) I'll be on aim tomorrow most of the day. (I'll understand if you're too pooped tho :) )

I'm coming back on Thursday. :( But I'll hopefully be going to Stanford for an MA, so we can totally do figure drawing all next year. Do they have figure drawing next Tuesday?

Or maybe we can just draw each other nekkid. :X

sleep schedule

I haven't found the correct answer to this. I've done a lot of research.

I think the real way to do it is to fall asleep naturally but wake yourself up very unnaturally. Keep waking yourself up at the same time and DO NOT TAKE NAPS. Seriously what kills it is taking naps (or really, in this case, going to bed since you are reversed...you need to get your body used to thinking "this is naptime" in the day not "this is sleeptime"). Then maybe at first you'll start getting second winds and stay up to your normal time. That's fine, just keep setting that alarm AND GETTING THE HELL UP. Serious regimenting has been the only way that I have found to break the cycle beyond flying to a new country and letting jet lag do the work :)

I was about to suggest moving to China... it worked well.
