The secret to 8 o'clocks

Last semester I discovered that the secret
to eight o'clock classes is to get to bed. I have
one tomorrow. I need to get up somewhere
in the 5:30 a.m. range, and I'm very bad at
that. So I'm heading to bed right now, and
I can continue my exciting list tomorrow.
I did a fast little sketch of one of my favorite
artists tonight. I won't say who. I found
out something fascinating, and that is if I
sit right in front of my computer and draw
in a small sketchbook I elongate faces. I
may have done that here, but as I like the
person, I like the sketch and will try again
at another more auspicious time.

For now. I'm obeying my own rule.

Have a getting-to-bed-at-the-right-time day.
