So, after writing my last blog entry I continued working on my PhD proposal but found a free copy of the Online Cognition Scale and how to score it and decided to sit down and fill that in instead. Obviously I'm not going to disclose my results in this blog, but I did learn quite a bit about my own internet behaviours. It was certainly a useful exercise as I now know how the scale works too, so I can use it with ease in my (proposed) research.
After filling in the scale and scoring it I then began to procrastinate for a number of hours by chatting to friends online and then at 10pm I watched Eastenders followed by Coming of Age. After watching Coming of Age I took a nap that lasted for around 90 minutes and woke up at half past midnight. At 1am I helped myself to chocolate sugar puffs and coffee and chatted to a friend on MSN for a while. At 2:30am I began working again, feeling very alert and I finished my work just now.
For some reason I can think more clearly in the early hours of the morning, this is when I feel full of wisdom and intellect. Pleasant thoughts pour from my mind and my writing flows smoothly. I genuinely miss the days when I used to pull all-nighters a lot more often than I do now. I suppose that one explanation could be that in the early hours of the morning very few people are online and if they are they are busy, tired or drunk, so more often than not, not available to chat for long periods. Having nobody to 'socialise' with puts me in the mood to work and then the train of thought stays with me.
I think I've earned a duvet day today =) so I'll probably blog about nonsense later on.
Bye now
