No longer being able to stay up until 4 AM is going to mean I'll see a lot of friends much less than I currently do, but hopefully there will be people I was missing out on due to not being awake in the morning to make up for it. EST isn't a good timezone for internet buddies.

worrying 

This is actually a serious problem for me and back in high school I actually only got around 5 hours of sleep a night because of this very issue. I don't think that was very healthy but I don't know what alternatives there are except getting lucky. I wish I had local friends...

I guess I'll see if I'm able to handle it. I might not be able to, and if so I don't know what I'll do. I guess the most drastic thing is moving out west or abandoning CS for a part time thing in another field.
