Levels

1:25am.  It’s so good to be not working.  But I can’t honestly say that I wouldn’t be up at this hour if I needed to be on campus at 7:30; it’s just that instead of slogging through papers, I’m sitting here in my boxers happily listening to Mary Carillo at the Olympics and typing this.  The stress level is greatly reduced.

Unfortunately, the energy level was greatly reduced today, as well.  It took me three and a half hours to get outside to send the documents to Korea.  Is international FedEx supposed to cost nearly $50?!  I normally use the Postal Service so I really don’t know, but it seemed like an incredibly high price for a folder with six or seven papers inside.  I also skipped out on seeing Lauren for the first time since probably March.  She had invited me to the driving range, but it would have been all the way in S.F. and I probably could have joined her, but I just didn’t have the will to do it all.  Hitting those golf balls actually would have been satisfying if our interaction didn’t go well!  I want to see her, though; sometime soon.
