#once she leaves the dormitory she avoids going back towards that hall unless absolutely necessary; at least in the morning

Angela makes it a point to rise before any of her fellow sisters whenever possible; not only due to her duties as prioress and commitment to the Liturgy of the Hours (although you'd be hard pressed to find another sister willing to wholeheartedly commit to Lauds save for Hedwig and the Superior for all the rabble rousing and etc), but because she needs the peace and quiet away from the others. If she can sneak in a short walk---with the garden and the cloister being her favorite places---she will use such moments to try and organize her thoughts. If she can't go on an early morning walk she will absolutely walk around midnight, although the calming/centering effect of the activity is somewhat diminished because Angela finds herself being on the lookout for her fellow sisters more often than not and will corral any troublemakers if need be.
On the whole Angela keeps odd hours; a combination of night owl and early bird, mainly because there's just so much for her to do, too many things to keep track of, and so on, to the point where her getting any restful sort of sleep is rather rare. She'll sacrifice quite a bit just to have a moment or two to herself; so busy do her commitments and rigidity keep her, to say nothing of other outside forces.
