Quarter to five on a Thursday morning. Does this count as an all-nighter?

I've spent the last week writing my Ling 204 essay.

Actually, only the last 12 hours of it have been writing. The previous week has been made up of stressing about not writing it, and then getting distracted and doing something more interesting, like spending entire days writing Imperium, my Warhammer 40,000 RPG, or going to various theatrical productions/Christmas balls.

I've still got another piece of work to do tomorrow, in the narrow slot between my lectures and LURPS. Fortunately, I can't afford to buy alcohol any more, so I'll be sober enough to work on it after LURPS.

Why the fucking hell do I do this to myself every single fucking term???
