Yin Yang

In general I feel like I am pretty good at going with the flow. I don't mind too much when I don't know about plans that concern me until the last minute. Actually I might be too good at... it means I have a tendency to let people run my life.
That is why I was kind of surprised when a few weeks ago one of my roommates told me at 11:15 that I should be in bed... She was super surprised I wasn't already asleep. And it was kind of unusual, I am generally in bed with the lights off between 10:30 and 11:00 (I already know I'm an odd college student... or just odd in general). It made me realize just how habit oriented I am. I like to go to bed around the same time. Get up around the same time, same morning routine. Make my lunch the night before. Go up to school at the same time. Go home around the same time. etc.
And so how do I reconcile these two things. Super habit driven, and yet flexible. I don't think I will worry about it.  I feel like there are so many parts of my personality that are almost opposite, and I've noticed it in other people too. It's fascinating, and it makes writing stories with realistic characters all the more difficult.
