When you have, in fact, been up since 4:30am, you start to do things like (for example) attempting to login to your Moveable Type account using either your NYUHome or NYU CS login information. If you’re already a little on the agitated side because maybe you have an exam in just over an hour and a half, you might sit staring at the MT login page for quite a while before you realize your mistake. There may also be profanity involved. It’s possible.

And when you finally do realize, and feel appropriately stupid and then get over it and manage to log in and everything, you may realize that what you actually wanted to do was log in to either your NYUHome or NYU CS accounts, which was maybe why you kept typing in the wrong username and password in the first place. You might think this should have occured to you sooner - if you’ve got a CS exam in an hour and a half, it seems more likely you’d be checking the course announcements page or your NYU inbox (to which is sent material from the course mailing list) than that you’d decide to sit down and write a leisurely post.

And yet.
