Is this true? Seems crazy, how do you stand doing this for ~5 years?

- andrewflnr 12y agoSometimes the only reason you go to lecture is to be sure to catch important announcements. You can to that with little sleep, and in the meantime, you need something low-effort to keep you awake. So there's one theory.
- levosmetalo 12y agoOr you can buy a beer once a week to someone that will send you "important announcements" by email, and having a good solid sleep in own bed ;)
