when the rest of the household was fast asleep, i was doing a little celebration of my own, as i've been wont to do the past few months.

it was one of those golden moments when something significant was happening and i belatedly learned about it, as is usually the silly case. in my urge to just let it all hang, i called up e.'s and c.'s mobile phones. instead, i had a lovely chat with their voice boxes.

there was that teeny weeny urge to go out of the house and, well, walk. but that was one in the morning and it's 2007. i don't do that kind of stuff anymore. at least not here in lb.

woke up with a clear head. it's strange to wake up to the most minimal of thoughts and images. partly unnerving, partly refreshing.

unfortunately, i had a bout of the sickness for a couple of hours. the now-acknowledged remedy - let it all hang.

so there. i still manage to turn in six hours of sleep despite coffee in the evenings and extra time for reviewing and readings. by next week, there's another class to deal with. i cannot picture my days. yet again, it's partly unnerving, partly refreshing.

a tad pout: the now-regular mondays with b. may have to be interrupted for eight weeks. will have to look for another day to bitch about fil-am wannabe academics and dream of the future.
