Effects of perspective
So let's run through the course of the past 36 hours or so, just for kicks. My attempt to simply change a light bulb last night, which of course, being that it's me, resulted in travesty. Just a God-given extra inch and a half in height would have prevented the subsequent fall from a chair, face forward. Apparently the blunt trauma caused a broken blood vessel in my left eye, as I happily discovered around 3:30 this morning when I finally stumbled into the bathroom en route to bed. Hmmm, not a bad start I must say. The added bonus was that I had a presentation this morning. I disguised myself in black and camouflaging makeup to lessen the noticeability factor; but in reality, I didn't care all that much. I then sat through three more hours of class, a forty-five minute break in between which I used as "cram time", a two hour exam in the afternoon, followed by another two hours of class, then it was off to the library where I undertook the feat of writing an entire ethics case-study that should have been done about a week ago. Whew! I'm tired from just the bare bones time-series description.
But all in all, I've been sort of invigorated by the hoopla and stress of this past week. The little stint at home really was a much needed refresher. At least for tonight until it all starts again before dawn tomorrow, I'll breathe in a bit of mist filled night air, and enjoy it for what it is.
