sleepy and tired, i should think more, i think

There are now two iPhones in the house. Both black, one with fancy widgets and one without. Guess whose phone doesn't have the applications... and Why Not...

It is almost the end of one term, and I have an additional 2 kg on my frame and some wrinkles to show for it. Oh, and much less hair. I am shedding hair like cat going Poof when I scoop her up and sing Verdi to her. This, I attribute solely to work woes.

Now for some happy news, or rather, things that make me happy - I picked up Harold Pinter's The Homecoming and John Gay's The Beggar's Opera and finished it over the weekend. No work-related reading done over Saturday and Sunday (also because most of it was spent fast asleep). Yeay for me!

I'm not sure how many drop by here, but for those who do, I'm sorry for not being in touch. Schiava, I am, to the institution, but it's not all that bad (wellll...), and yes, to start saying that, is a step forward? For now?

These days, my students don't have it too good, and I am sad. I hope they will feel better soon.

Oh and Abby - Happy Birthday!

I will like to spend my days, as though they are my own, which I mostly end up doing in halves, for duty beckons, and I am answering its clarion call. Soon enough! I am also a veteran procrastinator.

It's Monday...

lying awake,
horrifically tired, and maybe, a little sad.

growing up.
(school is starting soon,)
with that bit of irony and truth.
