All woke up and nowhere to go

I’m afraid that if I let myself sleep in, it will be hard for me to get into the pat­tern of get­ting up ear­ly. So I left my alarms on even though it was after mid­night when I went to sleep last night. Since my neigh­bor­hood is still one big par­ty until 2:30 or 3:00am (why is it that some peo­ple nev­er learned vol­ume con­trol?) I have start­ed wear­ing earplugs to bed. This morn­ing I woke up and was­n’t con­scious of the alarm clock going off until I pulled the earplugs out. That’s pret­ty impres­sive because I could still hear every­one hoot­ing and hol­ler­ing and CARRYING ON CONVERSATIONS AS THOUGH THE PERSON NEXT TO THEM WERE FIVE MILES AWAY through the earplugs, but I man­aged to get to sleep anyway.

So now I’m awake and I need to find some­thing to do oth­er than just go back to sleep. Where are the hol­ler­ing drunk peo­ple when you need ’em?
