mind the gap

02 February 2005

I fell asleep at 5am. I just laid there, thinking about all the things I need to be doing for my dissertation, my drafts of papers and at the same time, I felt sort of guilty for not taking more advantage of the things here. I've been to most of the museums but there's so much more I haven't seen or done. Maybe I should make a list of all the places I want to go that I haven't gone to yet. Then I can head for one of those places when I'm climbing the walls and can't stand to watch anymore TV. I've just settled into every day life here and I sometimes forget I live in this amazing place where there is so much to do and see.

I had a good tutoring meeting with Alex today for my CDD paper. Caroline gave me good feedback for my SESI paper too but I've got some work to do to make them ready for final submissions in March.

I miss the sun! The weather is so dreary right now, clouds but no rain, no sun. It's not just the clouds either, it's just so cold. I'm tired of always having to wear my heavy coat, scarf, hat and gloves. Pleeeeeeeeease! SPRING! SOON! I can't wait to take a book to the park and read on a bench in the flower garden, to keep the windows open all night and enjoy being warm. At least now I know my restlessness isn't just tied to my job. It's just the time of year.
