So I just got home from work...at 10:30. I had to stay at school and finish some grad school work. I could have come home to do it, but it just would not have gotten done. I often stay late, but not usually this late. It gets legitimately eerie there at night. I can't see out the darkened windows and the custodians weave in and out of classrooms in a rehearsed pattern that only they seem to know. I distrust the location and origin of every noise. That's not to say I'm afraid, it's just such a dichotomy from the raucous daytime that it's jarring. Now I am rushing home to finish my slice for today. During lunch (when I should have been working on this) I was messing around trying to figure out if I could tell a story using nothing but Bitmojis. I think I am going to try it with a slice sometime this month. A day in the life, if you will. I think it could be really fun - for me - I don't presume to think this would entertain anyone other than myself. It's been a 15 hour day but I know I will spend the next hour thinking about how to pull this off.

I remember doing that in grad school too and staying too late, too long on campus.

I was thinking as I finished your piece - writing is for you! Write your bitmoji story! If it appeals to you, it will likely appeal to someone else and you'll have the fun of the challenge anyway. And kudos for pressing on to get your slice written!

I've stayed that late a couple times. It is eerie...especially when Dave is the only one in the building with you! But I also got SO much done the last time I did that. (the only reason I did it though was because I was having a procedure the next day, so not coming to school...not getting up early!)
