I'M DONE WITH FINALS!!!!!!!!!! I just finished my LAST FINAL EVAR about an hour ago. Now, I'm going to go have a nice relaxing day and not think about school or anything connected to it for awhile.

Today, Dan and I are going to get Subway sandwiches (yay coupon), see I Love You Man at the dollar theatre (because we're cheap like that) and bring popcorn and soda to the theatre (because we're super cheap like that). Oh, and we're getting my car washed because it's really dirty and has been bugging me for the last three months (boo, water shortage and disappearing hoses). We're also apparently going to the gym at some point today so we can be healthy. I'd rather not, but it's worth it even if I don't want to go. Maybe we'll finally finish Mario Galaxy and/or watch some Buffy/Angel, too! Today should be a good day =)

Columbia University did some study that linked "late bedtimes" to depression. They're saying that going to bed late causes depression. This completely ignores the fact that teenagers have a much later melatonin surge than adults and children, so the naturally fall asleep later. They also apparently ignore the fact that depression routinely causes sleep problems -- either not enough or too much sleep. Essentially, they took a link between depression and going to sleep late and leaped to "not enough sleep causes depression." CORRELATION DOES NOT IMPLY CAUSATION, NUMBSKULLS. I thought these people were supposed to be smart? Now, if they'd actually deprived healthy people (or rats) of sufficient sleep and saw the development of depression in these subjects, then I'd believe their results.
