A DIRECT, non-rhetorical question:

When is it appropriate to vaccuum and mop and clean your apartment even though  your roommates are alseep? We’re talking grad-school here so people do stay up late, but I am thinking 1:00 p.m. No matter how late you stayed up, if you are still asleep at 1:00 p.m., you shouldn’t be. Therefore, today I cleaned my entire kitchen and vaccuumed the rest of the apartment at aforementioned 1:00 p.m. and, sure enough, Alex and Burcu, my insomniac roommates, are now gruffly trudging around out there–great gals, b-t-dubs, so I hope they’re not mad I woke them up, but still…1:00 p.m.–you should be awake no matter what, right?
