On the Ways of Mudders

Ah, Mudders... I am increasingly adopting a philosophy which states that Mudders work hard to play hard. Let me explain...

I have experienced sleep deprivation over the past week or so. This has led to some unpleasant feelings in the morning. However, often, I am working hard so that I can do something ridiculously fun later. For example, last weekend I spent much time doing my Hum 1 essay and CS on Saturday so that my Sunday was free. That was so I could attend the latest Magic the Gathering prerelease with a bunch of other Mudders. I worked hard (and stayed up until 4:00 AM or so) so that I could play hard (that prerelease was crazy fun!). And I must repeat again this week. In order to be able to spend my Friday doing Quiz Bowl practice and D&D, my Saturday at Disneyland, and my Sunday at a Quiz Bowl tournament, I must work quite diligently during the week. There are many opportunities for fun at Mudd. But because of the courseload, you must work hard to earn the extra time you could spend having fun.
