I'm a student, so right now I'm stuck in a crappy part-time job interspersed with various temp jobs. I'm jealous of you Europeans who don't have to shell out more than $30k a year just for college tuition (and that's not including textbooks, meal plans, or room and board).

Night person, without a doubt.
