Uhhhhhhhh… Why do I always wake up so badly?

Anyway, I've half-an-hour until I head over to the gym, so I figured I'd catch up the last few days…

Wednesday was quiet up until coffee which was good as always. I got back at about 3 pm, because I had organized to chat with Ally at 9 pm her time and after a few hiccup's we were away! A friend of hers Claire was there and later Peta B dropped by!? It was pretty good, I was rushing back and forth between the computer and the lab for about two hours while trying to keep a legible conversation going on in between the chat-room dropping out. But still it was pretty cool. :)
That afternoon we went to one of the semi-regular talks which was to be followed by dinner (the dinner was the lure). The talk was bearable, and the dinner was funny. There was a reasonably good sense of tipsy good naturedness. Considering students only had to pay $5 for this big Vietnamese banquet, I was quite happy to stuff myself. The wine was making my head spin by the time I got home to lie down, but I wasn't as bad as some people.

Today was very unproductive, because I was unable to motivate myself to do very much at all. I booked a second psych session for next week (Wednesday 1st) and had coffee with Peta G. Coffee was pretty cool as always, and she was in her usual word-association-humor mode, but I was rather imaginationally drained from the thesis and wasn't really on the ball.

Tomorrow is Friday and I'm not really expecting it to be much more exciting.

Being a person who puts the details of their daily life up on the internet and who is also a fairly "out" transsexual, I tend to forget that others may not feel so eager to give out such details. It's not a huge problem for me, one day I may take down my diary, or it may grow so bloated and bland (it isn't already?) that I just stop updating. But at the moment it may well be the only evidence of what once was when I eventually disappear into "stealth mode".
The point of all this? Remember that, although I may not, other people like their privacy.

9:30 pm – How ironic, I get all ready for the gym, only to find my membership card has expired two days ago.
