8:15 am - Friday 5th October 2001

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light…

It's been a odd morning. Odd in the sense that I woke up perfectly lucid bang on 6:45 am. I had been lazing around in bed since early last night, so I figured I should make up for the gym trip I missed last night. All night long I had been having weird dreams about being online in chat room or on email forums, obviously I've been surfing the web too much of late. So yes, waking up was not odd, going to the gym was. I usually sleep in 2 hours blocks, and because the sun shines against my curtains and lights my room up from 6:30 am onwards, so if I'm lucky the two will coincide and I'll wake up feeling happy and refreshed instead of groggy and tired.

It's been a fairly quiet week. I'm hoping a fax of my contract may have made it into work last night, I still have some microanalyses to do but unfortunately I have to go back to the original starting material, but oh well. My supervisor wasn't in on Wednesday and won't be in today, hence (except for satisfying my own guilt) I don't have to go in. I need to visit Red one of these days, and I missed coffee on Wednesday. I did catch Emma for an afternoon chat yesterday, and we caught up on some of the gossip from DX which was cool. I haven't really got much planned for the weekend. I'm stuck on the introduction to Chapter 5, so I need to knuckle down on that. I meant to tidy up my long diatribe from Monday, but I lack the motivation and so I'll just post it as is and hope that people think that the grammatical butchering is "quaint".
