Sigh...
I had to disappoint Tric last night. I know how she looks forward to talk to me when she gets home after a long day of school, even if it is just for half an hour. But my other supervisor from Baltimore, who is part-time professor here as well, will be here for the coming week. He's a little more demanding than my regular supervisor and wants me to be in the office the few times he's around. So I decided to go to bed early yesterday, as not to risk oversleeping this morning. That meant I wouldn't be able to talk to Tric, as she normally gets home between 11pm and 11:30 my time on thursdays. Not an easy decision. I wrote Tric an apology mail, then went to bed straight after that - it was only 10:15 pm at that time, mind you. I said "early". I meant "early". Of course I was still awake at 10:45 >.<. Caught myself thinking "I wish I can't sleep for 15-30 more minutes so I can get out of bed again and talk to Tric anyway." Discipline is lacking here lately... But I fell asleep not long after that. Only to wake up at 1:30 am again, being wide awake and thinking "if I can't sleep now, I can get out of bed and talk to Tric", only to fall asleep immediately after that >.<. The rest of the night was kinda horrible too, waking up several times, usually after odd dreams from which I now only remember a few loose shards. I did manage to wake up at a decent time, to get out of bed not *too* long after that, and then lose some time by taking a long shower to try and wake me up and relax my neck muscles. I was at the office at 9:25, which I think is decent enough. But I'm still tired, and I didn't get to talk to Tric and I had to disappoint her to be here now. It just doesn't seem worth it.
Also, when I got out this morning, it snowed. There was a thin layer of it on the rooftops, the bushes and the gras, but not on the roads. It will probably be gone before noon, even though there's still snow coming down. But I wish winter was over. Winters here lately have been just enough winter to be annoying and depressing, but not enough winter to enjoy the fun bits of winter, like ice skating, or snowball fights, or getting off from work. I'm slowly getting fed up with winter. It should be spring already. Or summer. Actually, it should be the second half of May already. In my minds eye, it will be all blue skies and sunny days then. But even if it will be pouring with rain all of May, I know for me the sun will be shining, because Tric will be here.
