It's (apparently) Just Another Manic Monday

Apparently, if you put humans into a room and give them no sense of day or night, our natural circadian rhythm is naturally sets itself to a 25 hour day.* I think law students could tell you all about that. I'm apparently into my third week of studying for finals, and I have no idea WHEN it is.

I know my exam is due on a Tuesday, and that my exam is due tomorrow. Logic tells me that means tomorrow is Tuesday, and so today is Monday. And yet, every time I tell myself it's Monday, I don't believe it. At this point, the days have so blurred together that I can only tell you how many days away my next important engagement is. I cannot tell you WHEN it is in the future or even WHEN it is right now.

It's as if because my days have not been structured as they normally would, I don't know how the days of the week work. I just know that the nights separate the days from one another, and I sleep during the night. So when I wake up, the following day is here. Whenever that day is.

So the test that they should REALLY do to determine natural circadian rhythms is just to talk to law students during finals.

Or maybe I should just put a calendar on my wall.
